l'Artisan
Cocktails and small plates with a French feel in Pigalle.
📍14 Rue Bochart de Saron, 75009 Paris, France
Le Perchoir
Rooftop cocktails, craft beers, & natural wines. Get there early if you want to be sure to make it up there since lines form in good weather.
📍14 Rue Crespin du Gast, 75011 Paris, France
Bespoke
Try the tomato & balsamic cocktail and the one with whiskey washed in duck fat. Fun atmosphere with creative drinks. They will even make one for you on the spot based on what you like.
📍3 Rue Oberkampf, 75011 Paris, France
Gravity Bar
A favorite cocktail bar among those in the know.
📍44 Rue des Vinaigriers, 75000 Paris, France
Prince de Galles Hotel
Expensive but impressive cocktails. One cocktail comes with a genie's lamp that blows out dry ice, but it's more than just the presentation. The cocktails are very well done, and the atmosphere is beautiful.
📍33 Avenue George V, 75008 Paris, France
RESTAURANTS
Au Passage
A favorite go-to spot. Au Passage has an ever-changing menu of delicious small plates to share & great list of natural wines.
📍1bis Passage Saint-Sébastien, 75011 Paris, France
Josephine Chez Dumonet
If you want to get your Classic French fix, this as an old-world white tablecloth spot that feels stuck back in time. They have an incredible beef Bourgignon and crispy duck confit. The desserts are stand-out as well, including the Grand Marnier soufflé that you have to order in advance.
📍117 Rue du Cherche-Midi, 75006 Paris, France
Clown Bar
This is where the circus staff (Cirque d'Hiver is next door) used to have their staff meals, and there is original tiles and paintings depecting circus scenes inside. The food is stand-out - slightly elevated but non-fussy contemporary French.
📍114 Rue Amelot, 75011 Paris, France
La Cave à Michel
Standing room only for natural wine & small plates.
📍36 Rue Sainte-Marthe, 75010 Paris, France
l'As du Fallafel
The best Falafel sandwiches in the city.
📍34 Rue des Rosiers, 75004 Paris, France
Dersou
Dersou was named "best restaurant of the year" by Le Fooding. At night, there is a set tasting menu of contemporary French with Asian influences and cocktail pairing for 90€. Must reserve in advance. They also have an incredibly fresh and delicious Saturdaylunch service and Sunday brunch with a much lower price point (no reservations for weekend lunch & brunch).
📍21 Rue Saint-Nicolas, 75012 Paris, France
Martin Boire et Manger
Small plates with outdoor seating. This is an easy go-to place when you want to eat fresh and delicious market-driven food.
📍24 Boulevard du Temple, 75011 Paris, France
Aux Deux Amis
Not for the faint of heart. The service is not always friendly, and they do not cater to tourists in the least bit - this is a local spot, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone speaking English here. The place is always packed, and you might have to perch at the bar or another small spot with a ledge in order to get in. But if you are an adventurous foodie who goes to lengths to have authentic in-the-know experiences, Aux Deux Amis is where the other chefs go once their own restaurants close down. They offer an always changing menu of small plates and a fun selection of natural wines. Atmosphere is always bustling with Frenchies who are probably cooler than you (and me), but if you like this kind of experience, it's a lot of fun.
