Our Guide to Paris: Le Garde Robe
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.

Trusted reviews
- Aaron Ayscough (2010) “I’d heard good things and my expectations were exceeded. Exclusively natural wines, with a perceptible emphasis on Loire whites and cru Beaujolais.”
- David Lebovitz (2010) “…one of my favorite wine bars in Paris, which serves mostly natural wines. Another plus are the charcuterie and cheeses they serve by the plate…The staff is very savvy about the wines.”
- Chrisoscope (2008) “…une planche de charcuterie (12€, ail, câpres avec leurs queues, andouille, jambon, et deux bons pâtés), pas mal du tout, que nous partageons à 3. Le pain (campagne, grosses tranches) n’est pas mal du tout.”
- Food & Wine (2008) “The wine picks at this scruffy little shop near the Louvre include bottles from Languedoc’s superb Domaine de la Grange des Pères winery to go with sardines, andouille sausage and rustic pork terrine.”
- Figaroscope (2008) “Activée par l’équipe de « La Robe et le Palais » et du « Dessous de la Robe », cette cave-épicerie fait aussi dans le bistroquet à copains avec de belles bouteilles donnant la réplique aux nourritures de circonstance.”

The wine list is v. good, but the food is extremely bland, and the portions are by no means generous. If you have to eat, go for the charcuterie, which is quite nice. The staff is very welcoming, though, and the atmosphere is good. Would rather go to La Nouvelle Mairie, where food, wine and staff come up trumps.
