This is a true café, open all day long starting at 8 am. But it’s the natural wines and simple food that keep this place busy.
Join the rest of the neighborhood here on Sunday afternoons for a post-market glass of wine (direct from the barrel), a plate of cheese or charcuterie or, in winter, a dozen oysters. Bottles to go, too.
This laid-back wine bar serves up natural wines and small plates in a barely decorated space on an old street near Les Halles. Wines to go, too.
Now with two locations, Le Garde Robe rests comfortably within the current Paris bar à vins format. Natural wine? Check. Charcuterie? Check. Cheese? Check. The prices are gentle and, at the location in the 1st, a gregarious crowd spills onto the sidewalk in warmer weather. A good choice if you’re feeling peckish but forgot to make plans. Bottles to go, as well.
This Oberkampf shop recently joined the cave-à-manger wave, serving simple simple, direct fare to accompany the natural, terroir-driven wines on the shelves.
This bar-à-vins offers a small menu of (mostly) cold and hot dishes, bottles to take home, and a natural and organic wine list.
Natural wines, great products, in an exquisite old space. Slightly draconian hours.
Where to find a decent glass of wine in the Latin Quarter? Le Porte-Pot. Bottles to go, too.
Sharing is encouraged at this contemporary, convivial, Basque-style tapas restaurant from Alain Dutournier. Open all day, every day, and now with an additional location in the 6th.
A bare bones room lined with shelves of natural wines, a tiny kitchen turning out simple and dishes; this doesn’t immediately feel like the kind of place a person would cross town for. And yet if you score a table here you’ll be elbow to elbow with people who have done just that and are happily tucking into octopus carpaccio or boudin noir and consuming no small amount of wine.
A truly mixed crowd packs this Oberkampf wine bar, for natural wine and small plates.
It’s true that Rosa Bonheur serves food, both small plates and simple plats du jour. But the reason the place is packed is because it is perched in a privileged spot at the top of the lush Parc des Buttes Chaumonts, with a sprawling terrace and a fine view. The mood goes from picnic to party as the day progresses, but there’s always plenty of bonheur.
Crêpes up front and pork (Ibaïona) in the rear. It’s standing room only at Yves Camdeborde’s tapas and wine bar, a hit since it opened in fall of 2009. Go during the off hours or be prepared to be get to know the person next to you very, very well.
