Paris Bouge (2014) “… côté cuisine, le Kiez Biergarten nous propose des classiques, avec des bretzels home made, kartoffelsalat et apfeltorte mais aussi des plats beaucoup plus modernes.”
Time Out (2014) “Arrivent les plats : un bretzel pour patienter, une assiette de fricadelle et sa salade fraîche de patates/concombres, un curry wurst et une assiette de nuernberger rostbratwuerste (vous n’imaginez pas comme l’on peut se ridiculiser en prononçant le nom de ce plat à la serveuse adorable et surtout très bilingue !). Tout était vraiment bon.”
Emmanuel Rubin (2014) “Saucisse blanche, moutarde sucrée, bretzel: manque plus que les rues de Munich. Salade de haricots blancs et lardons: vite bectée. Cheese-cake allemand: solide.”

Le Fooding (2015) “Dans leur espace briqué-boisé à forte influence scandinave, ils préparent avec l’or noir du sidamo et l’unapu de la Brûlerie de Belleville voisine le « cream », évidemment, l’espresso acidulé comme il faut, le filtre en infusion et le « cortado », une noisette plus lactée qu’à l’ordinaire.”
Sprudge (2015) “It might seem like a trendy choice to take the time to make specialty coffee and bake pastries in house, but at Cream it’s easy to see that those choices are just about being an integral part of the local neighborhood, making a product and making it well, and creating a space that’s inviting and that people feel comfortable going to… Pretentious it is definitely not.”
Paris Bouge (2015) “L’ambiance y est bonne, le lieu est joliment décoré et bien sûr le café est délicieux… On vous conseille donc de déguster le fameux crème (la mascotte du coffee), mais vous trouverez également du café filtre, un expresso, une noisette, du thé et un chocolat chaud (lui aussi pas mal du tout). Pour le déjeuner et le goûter, Cream propose des sandwiches roulés délicieux et des pâtisseries gourmandes telles que cookies, cakes et céréales, réalisés sur place.”
Lost in Cheeseland (2014) “A new coffee bar in the Belleville neighborhood that serves excellent pour-overs, sandwiches and a short but sharp selection of cakes. Given their location and history working under the tutelage of Ten Belles lead Thomas Lehoux, it’s of little surprise that Joe and Maxime roast Belleville Brûlerie beans exclusively.”

You can’t talk about “la bistronomie” without mentioning La Régalade. Founded by Yves Camdeborde and later sold to his second, Bruno Doucet, La Régalade and it’s spin-offs in the 1st and 9th are still reliable sources of solid bistro fare at reasonable prices. Continue reading
A hub for English culture, this pub proudly pours “real ales” from Wells & Young’s, beers in classic English styles you won’t find elsewhere in Paris. Traditional English pub fare is served at lunch and a full English breakfast is offered on weekends. With rugby and soccer/football matches on TV and a pub quiz every Sunday, it would be easy to think you were in England. Continue reading
Lots and lots of different beers, served inexpensively and without pretense – that’s the draw at this welcoming, convivial bar in the far reaches of Eastern Paris. The selection is predominantly Belgian, as the name would suggest, but you’ll find a handful of French and German brews in the collection of at least 100 bottles on offer. Continue reading
Revolutionary for Paris, this shoebox-sized bar just north of the lively Oberkampf district has a lot to offer lovers of craft beer… and their natural wine-drinking friends, too. French beer is well-represented both on the eight rotating taps and in the 80 or so bottles on offer, featuring such breweries as Outland (Ile-de-France), Sainte-Crucienne (Alsace), and Northmaen (Normandy). French bar snacks (cheese and charcuterie boards) and a small selection of natural wines available by the bottle or glass round out the menu. Service is friendly and knowledgeable, eager to help you find just the beverage you’re after, even if it’s something you’ve never tried before. Continue reading
Quite possibly the best happy hour in town, this pub pours 5€ pints from 6-8 pm every day, even weekends. And the beers are much better than average – sure, you can get a 1664 here, but wouldn’t you rather quaff a Kilkenny, Kwak or Tripel Karmeliet? Situated on a busy corner near the Montparnasse train station, the terrasse (covered and heated in the colder months) offers endless people-watching, and if the TV isn’t showing sports, it’s really bad music videos. The decent tap selection is rounded out by a collection of about 100 bottled beers, which come from all around the world and even feature a few organic beers and even one that’s gluten-free.

Long a favorite among students, the bustling “Beer Academy” is a worthwhile stop for any enthusiast of Belgian beer. On tap or bottled, the beer offerings are predominantly Belgian, with a few French, German, and Czech options for good measure. Food is served at all hours of the day, and the two large patios are covered and heated in the winter. Service can be slow, but the bartenders and servers are beer lovers themselves, so don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations.

Académie de la Bière page on Beer Advocate
This popular restaurant and wine bar run by Drew Harre and Juan Sanchez is a sort of Anglo haven, excellent for a quick glass, a solo dinner at the bar, or for those times when you’re just tired of speaking French. Current chef Oliver Clarke is turning out some really solid food.
This friendly upper Marais wine bar serves simple charcuterie, cheese, salads, and sandwiches to go along with 5€ glasses, or a bottle from their cave next door. In the summer, there’s a great terrace on the street.

Paris Bouge (2013) “Parce qu’il fait à la fois office de bar, de restaurant, de cave à vin et d’épicerie, le Barav et sa cave mitoyenne offrent tout ce dont on peut rêver pour un apéritif bien français.”

Boasting the very best selection of craft beers on tap in Paris, as well as a bottle collection that brings the total offer up to 150 different beers, La Fine Mousse is certainly one of the city’s most well-stocked beer bars. It’s also one of the most expensive. French craft beers share real estate with lesser-known Belgians and German brews, with room left over for the USA, the Netherlands, and less-represented places like Norway and Italy to show off their brewing prowess. The meticulously curated beer list includes deep tracks from Brasserie St. Germain and Brewdog, and the descriptions (in French or English) will help you find just the beer you’re looking for. Serious beer geeks abound, the quiet atmosphere of the early evening eventually giving way to a lively party vibe as the social lubricant kicks in.

Haven in Paris (2014) “There’s no denying the quality of the ingredients or the creativity of the menu at LFM Restaurant. Like any innovative new venture, there are still a few wrinkles to iron out, especially considering the price point, but if you like craft beer and provocative food, or are simply curious, take a few friends and give La Fine Mousse a try.”
La Fine Mousse page on Beer Advocate
Le Figaro (2013) “Ouvert l’été dernier, un passage obligé pour tous les toqués du malt et du houblon. Entièrement dédié aux bières artisanales, le lieu joue la carte d’un certain modernisme avec ses murs bruts et pierres apparentes et ses becs chromés alignés derrière le bar. Les références du moment sont annotées à la craie sur le tableau noir. Il ne reste plus qu’à se laisser guider pour choisir.”
The Daily Croissant (2013) “A cozy bar serving 150 different quality beers from around the world, it also offers around twenty pressions, served right on tap. These are constantly being switched in and out, so there’s always something new to try. Blondes, reds, stouts, porters, IPAs, the list goes on and on. Feeling adventurous? Try the Old Crustacean Barleywine, their strongest beer on tap at 11.5% ABV. If you’re overwhelmed by the wealth of options, the bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable, and always let you have a taste before committing to anything.”
Paris Bouge (2012) “Les créateurs de La Fine Mousse sont peut être en train de changer une habitude. Celle qui consiste à considérer la bière comme un alcool d’happy hour, sans caractère et sans identité. En effet, depuis 1 mois, ce bar élégant, à l’opposé de la taverne et de l’ambiance pub, propose de déguster une sélection de bières étonnantes et variées: 20 bières en pression en alternance selon les semaines et de nombreuses bouteilles.”
Not Drinking Poison in Paris (2012) “Given the size of the craft beer market in numerous other major cities, Paris’ stagnant beer scene has long presented an untapped opportunity. So I was overjoyed to learn that, with the soft opening last month of a majestic twenty-tap beer bar called La Fine Mousse in a quiet square off rue Oberkampf, some enterprising young Frenchmen have at last seized the moment… The highlights of some recent trips to La Fine Mousse have instead been a balanced and lightly spiced local IPA from Brasserie Outland, in Bagnolet, and Spezial’s impressively weird Rauchbier, or smoked lager, redolent of bacon…”
A true beer geek’s paradise, Cécile Delorme’s shop near the tourist- and student-friendly rue Mouffetard stocks hundreds of different beers from traditional Belgian and German to cult favorite Danish and Norwegian. A rotating selection of beers are stocked cold for immediate consumption, but any bottle you like can be chilled in her fridge. Bottle prices remain the same whether taken seated on the small patio or to go. The collection here is deep, and staff are only too happy to advise and guide your selections.

Don’t be discouraged by the bog-standard beers on tap at this dark, European-style sports bar. The bottled beer selection is extensive (and expensive), with brews from France and Belgium dominating the options. A small collection of vintage beers is a unique addition to the menu. For large groups, beer can be purchased in Magnums, Jeroboams, or even a 9-liter Salmanazar. The staff is pleasant, though not incredibly knowledgeable, and the food is industrially-produced bar food. Still, you’ll need to eat something after a couple of those strong ales, or if you’re posted up to watch a rugby or soccer match on the big-screen TVs.

Le Sous-Bock page on Beer Advocate
Of the dozen beers on tap at this otherwise typical college bar, not one is Heineken, Kronenbourg, or Stella. Instead, La Fût Gueuze has a solid lineup of mostly lesser-known Belgians influenced, no doubt, by their “big sister”: the Académie de la Bière. Several dozen bottles round out the offerings, though these don’t look to be a priority based on the party-centric signage.

Condé Nast Traveler (2015) “A lunchtime spot that becomes a wine bar at night, it reminds you of the simple pleasures of the perfect platter of charcuterie and delicious affordable wines by the glass.”
David Lebovitz (2013) “Les Rubis is one of the few places in Paris that I can think of that still exudes that old French charm; it’s got a very convivial atmosphere, the café chairs and table are worn but shiny from years of use, and no-nonsense service that’s cheerful, yet professional.”
Patricia Wells (2011) “Today the hangout remains virtually unchanged, just as boisterous, pushy, and old-fashioned, the spot for a bargain 11-euro platter of confit de canard (duck cooked in fat) and a thick potato gratin; meaty petit salé aux lentilles (braised salted pork with brown lentils), as well as a roborative and succulent tête de veau.”
David Lebovitz (2006) “I like to go at lunchtime, especially in the cold winter months, where the friendly owners will squeeze you into a seat at one of the tiny tables covered with crisp white paper, a folded napkin, some utilitarian silverware, and an overturned wine glass, ready to be filled. After lunch of later in the afternoon, Parisians gather outside by the wine barrels…”
A small, thoughtful collection of natural wines lines the wall at this Oberkampf shop, where you can snack on charcuterie and cheese while enjoying a bottle, at zero corkage. There’s more space at the second location, in the 20th.

Wine Terroirs (2012) “This place (where you can also drink and eat) is one of these new wine shops focusing on non-interventionist wines, it is very encouraging that an increasing number of cavistes select their wines on their inherent qualities and not on flawed notions of AOC… a small place with a wall of bottles on the right and some sort of central bar counter to put the glasses and bottles. In the evening, you can drink some wine with a little something like a charcuterie plate or some tapas in this cave.”
Aaron Ayscough (2010) “In her tiny outpost in Paris’ 11eme, the friendly and punctilious proprietress Nadine serves everything rather comme il faut….”

An alimentation génerale turned beer shrine, this tiny shop still carries convenience food alongside its floor-to-ceiling shelves of good beer. The owner is an enthusiastic amateur, excited to learn more about beer (especially American beer) and increase his already impressive selection. A refrigerated case promises cold beer to go, and the shop is open until very late on weeknights, just in case.

With a host of international beers, a speedy bottle-chilling machine, and a row of chess tables at patrons’ disposal, Guillaume Lucas’ shop is a welcome addition to the rue des Martyrs. M. Lucas is quiet, but happy to answer questions and clearly loves beer. His collection contains brews from dozens of countries (with Belgium heavily represented), and he’s looking forward to carrying more French craft beers as the distribution and availability for these increase. A good place to pick up something on the way to a party or picnic, but you can also pass a few hours here, playing chess and sipping quality beer.

HIP Paris (2012) “At Peoples Drug Store, owner Guillaume Lucas has transformed a Montmartre corner storefront into an understated haven for Parisian beer-drinkers looking to delve beyond basic supermarket staples. The selection of over 500 beers sourced from around the world (although notably dominated by the Belgian sort) is casually put on display with no sign of hierarchy.”
This unassuming bar, tucked on a side street near the Marché d’Aligre, boasts an impressive collection of over 100 beers. The selection is largely Belgian and mostly in bottles, though the tap choices are above average (Troll, Bavik, Petrus, and a bière du moment). The ambiance is relaxed and familial, the prices very reasonable, and the TV more likely to be showing a cheesy movie than a sporting event.

Amid the multitude of crêperies on this little street sits this good old-fashioned beer bar. It’s cozy and bustling, with classic rock 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 purse-carriers and coat-wearers everywhere. In addition to the 13 beers on tap, you’ll find 120 different bottled beers. Prices are a little steep, but the convivial ambiance and tasty Belgian beers are certainly worth a splurge now and then.

Although it appears on first glance like any other train station-adjacent café-bar, this place is a must for serious beer geeks in Paris. Their rotating selection of taps includes craft beers from all around Europe (some favorites: Craig Allan’s hoppy French brews, BrewDog’s assertive beers from Scotland, and the kooky but delicious offerings from Denmark’s “nomad” brewery, Evil Twin). For the less adventurous, they also pour more well-known Belgians like Chouffe, Chimay, and Leffe. The bartenders know their stuff, and are happy to talk beer with greenhorns and aficionados alike

Time Out (2012) “Not content with stocking more than 1200 wines and spirits, ‘Le Vin en Tête’, also takes a teaching role, seeking to educate and to make the science behind wine-making interesting to as many as possible.”
Pierrick Jegu (2009) “Dans le genre bio-nature mais sans dogmatisme outrancier, cette maison pleine d’esprit dresse un catalogue assez palpitant…”
Wine Terroirs (2007) “They offer some 1000-1200 wines from all the french regions. A favorite ? Domaine Guillot-Broux, with the Macon-Cruzille (30 Euro) and the Macon-Villages (8 Euro)…And an italian (they also have a few foreign wines) organicly-farmed Sangiovese Rosso Del Gello 2004.”

Jancis Robinson for The Financial Times (2014) “But if I lived alone in Paris I would probably head for Juan Sanchez’s La Dernière Goutte on the Left Bank. It has the cosy air of a friendly club built around wine, open seven days a week with free tastings on Friday and Saturday, conducted in English as well as French. It was, incidentally, the only wine shop I visited where I was offered a taste.”
Lettie Teague (2012) “Saturday mornings are the best and worst times to visit the wine shop La Dernière Goutte: the best because there is inevitably a great free wine tasting taking place—and the worst, for the very same reason.”
Pierrick Jégu (2009) “…une sélection remarquable et affûtée en provenance du Languedoc, du Rhône, de Bourgogne, de Loire, d’Alsace et d’ailleurs…”
Dr Vino (2007) “a small but well-chosen selection of wines from the growers themselves, including Champagnes. He has weekly tastings with visiting producers on Saturday afternoons…”
