Amid the multitude of crêperies on this little street sits this good old-fashioned beer bar. It’s cozy and bustling, with classic rock (Led Zeppelin) on the stereo, beer-friendly eats, and maybe, just maybe, NFL football on TV. Service is speedy and well-informed, and the hooks along the walls and bar are appreciated by [...]
Imports rule at this Temple of Beer, where you’ll find a wide range of beers from Belgium as well as lesser-represented countries like Germany, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Formerly Le Bis du Severo (but not affiliated in any way), this bistro serves seasonal cooking with meats from almost-neighbor Hugo Desnoyer and vegetables from Annie Bertin.
The smaller sibling of the grand brasserie Le Dôme, just around the corner.
This is the only shop in Paris that is exclusively devoted to New World wines. Regular tastings and classes.
Hugo Desnoyer is the meat man for some of the city’s top tables, but he still runs a retail shop, one of the great butcher shops in the city.
A user-friendly (and increasingly omnipresent) olive oil shop featuring a range of top quality oils from small producers in Provence.
Benoit Reix packs them into his tiny, bright bistro, watching from behind the counter as diners happily devour dishes from his always-changing menu.
Here you’ll find robust, seasonal bistro cooking from a Chez l’Ami Jean alum. Menus at 31€/34€ for lunch/dinner, unless you spring for the Desnoyer côte de veau, seasonal game dishes, or other items that carry a supplement.
Le Dôme, with its sparkling platters of fruits de mer, remains an address for power lunches and tourists looking to rub shoulders with Hemingway’s ghost while getting their fill of zinc and iodine.
For a visit to the south of France without leaving Paris, visit this shop, which specializes in bottles from the Languedoc and Roussillon. Two locations, in the 12th and 14th.
With around 1200 references, one of the great natural wine shops in the city.
Arrive early to avoid a wait at this casual, no-reservations bistro run by chef Christian Etchebest.
Don’t let the multiple locations fool you into thinking that this is some kind of mediocre chain bakery: The breads at Kayser are excellent.
The city’s most buttery, authentic crêpes served in an old-school dining room full of dark wood and Breton lace.
Dominique Saibron won third place in the 2010 Grand Prix de la Baguette.
Meat lovers, meet Le Severo, where former butcher William Bernet offers a legendary tartare, honest-to-goodness aged steaks (surprisingly rare in Paris), fat frites, and a great wine list.
