The best bars and cafés Paris

Just a stone's throw from Notre-Dame, this tea room, founded in 1928, will delight you if you're a fan of the British tea ceremony. In a cosy, wooded setting, your beverage is served in an English Blue Willow service with milk jug and lemon slices. On the catering side, we use organic produce and offer a choice of pies and salads, as well as a fine selection of homemade pastries such as raspberry and apricot crumble,apple pie and wonderful toasted scones with clotted cream and jam!

Two large sunny terraces, the lapping of the water, the play of light on the canal: 25 Degrés Est is a must at the end of the Bassin de la Villette. Prices are affordable, and there's a snack bar available at all hours. However, we'd advise you to come here simply to enjoy the terrace and have a drink, and not to linger in the restaurant room, which is certainly pleasant, but rather dark. Please note that the restaurant is very busy, and places on the terrace are expensive, especially on sunny days.

" Here they sold their soul to rock! " The rock is presented in all its forms, in concert mainly, but also thanks to Djs. The hotel has a bar of the 1960 s with its black skaï armchairs and vinyl vinyl beyond the bar. The leather jacket, furnished to the taste of the day, is stylish in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. During concerts, it is not uncommon for young girls and boys to twister with rage. A good atmosphere, rock lovers will appreciate. A small visit from the myspace of the establishment will put you in the atmosphere…

A "band of pals" in this former hotel of the early century, ideally placed between the Abbesses and the Sacré-Coeur. Exposed beams and patina on the walls give the two rooms - a large bar and wooden tables in the first, quiet sofas and low tables in the second - a warm and intimate atmosphere. The music prevails: songs, rock, hip-hop, funk, soul, electro… And for nothing to spoil, the place offers happy hours very interesting. On the summer evenings, you will be prompted to discuss with all the clients who take the steps of this convivial meeting…

Here, it's like Casimir decided to redo the plant. Tables in yellow or blue formica, large mirrors with walls and plastic everywhere for a very US style 1950. If the Pick-Clops is not as connected as a few years ago, its terrace is still full at the time of the aperitif and inside the reception has not changed, always as simple, friendly and smiling, which is not negligible since in the corner you are often too slow to smile to customers. Rock music, a young and playful guest, a waitresses who déversent a lot of whole peanuts on your table by bringing the drinks. You can also eat a little one before you go to the Marais.

After spending the edge of Sophie's shop, it is only possible to relax in this atmosphere for the tasting of great teas. At the origin of an artist's studio, At Tea hour was fully decorated thanks to the good taste of the owner. The atmosphere is bright, ideal for a 17-hour tea, whatever the season. With more than 110 varieties of teas, many coffees, including nine grands crus, or delicious pastries, you will be spoilt for choice. All cakes are home-made and some recipes are part of a long family heritage: Hazelnut pie, jam to season fruits, green lemon pie, macha tea tiramisu or even brioche bread. Please note that Sophie also offers some salty snacks. Above all, it is a real hostess for whom hospitality and conviviality are the watchwords. Its purpose: make sure customers feel at home… A beautiful program! For those who would like more, mugs imported from London, made by hand and decorated by different artists, are also put on sale.

A corner of change in the heart of the rue des vendeurs de beer! The Bar Without Name has been a reference since the 90 s, has experienced ups and downs and has welcomed hundreds of revellers. When you're looking for the first time in the dining room of Indiana Jones father, the diverse furniture, the drapes, the lights and the parts of the building make this place a warm bazaar. Once sunk on a period seat you can start your journey in the heart of the night. One of the advantages of the place compared to the rest of the street institutions is that you don't have to shout to talk to each other. It's ideal for a little committee chat. If you want to play the Adventurer of Lappe Lost, try the foreign mojito and cocktails that are the speciality of the place.

What more can we say except that Entre deux eaux is a gay bar, entirely naturist and largely sex-oriented. Special evenings are organized every month, including "show your tattoo" and "dildos available". No backrooms for the shy. Feel free to visit the establishment's website. A newsletter is also available.

Located between the winter circus and the art gallery Magda Danysz, you could almost go to the bar in the afternoon, without seeing it. However, it is here at night that you will be marrying the entire local clientele. Big, thin, small, bobo in the counter pillar, all come here without chi chi, for Pierrot, the emblematic owner who has been holding for years, or for the real jukeboxes at the entrance. If you can, install a diesel or a pint of for the day and you will be ready for the evening.

The name of this bar, of course, makes a reference to Stanley Kubrick's film, which took place in the 1970 s. Logically, music programming turns to this decade, as well as the previous one, without ignoring today's sounds with pre-tapping of unpublished albums. Rock, pop, soul, funk: no ultra violence here, but maximum celebrations! There is a beautiful choice of beer: Chaipakoi, Chouffe, Délirium Brunette… at very attractive prices. To note some creations of colorful cocktails that are worth the detour: Bujito, a cousin far away from mojito, mint mixture, chartreuse, green lemon and grapefruit. A bar to test, for movie fans as well as for lovers of big atmosphere!

It was a long time ago the Thermik, it became an LGBT bar but curly-friendly, rather quiet day, electric in the evening, suitable for aspiring rums or cocktails. The staff were friendly and helpful.

"Eat, drink, dance and Fight!" La Lucha Libre is probably the only bar in Paris to be equipped with a real wrestling ring, and it's not just there to perfect the decoration. Here, the clientele willingly confronts each other in joyful, friendly and risk-free fights, since everyone puts on his foam suit. Here, you will learn how to fall, jump, and land your punches without a hitch, while watching the show of real pro wrestlers. For the rest you can enjoy thehappy hours, and meet friends in a very electric atmosphere.

At the top, it's a fairly classical pub with its long bar of skated wood where beer flows. The students of the Sorbonne love to find themselves here, as well as tourists visiting the Pantheon. Quiet recreation, nice discussions, but as soon as the evening starts, the bar is filled with revellers. This is where you discover the basement, a vaulted cellar where you can enjoy a careful playlist. The atmosphere warms up and we quickly left to celebrate all night long. Attention, the place fills quickly, and sometimes you get the impression of being compressed. A student bar that is worth a visit.

Let's face it, Café A is a rarity in Paris. Indeed, it's not every day that you can enjoy an aperitif, comfortably installed in a deckchair in the middle of a lush garden. In the shade of the trees, on this vast terrace that looks like a veritable outdoor garden, a trendy crowd sips chilled cocktails, accompanied by salads, charcuterie platters or bruschettas. It's almost like being in Berlin, especially on DJ nights. With such a lively atmosphere, Café A is very popular.

Imagine what an American pub can offer in tribute to the legendary co-founder of the Métallica group, guitarist and singer James Hetfield. It's quite simple, on the one hand, fans of sports retransmissions who enjoy giant screens, and on the other, followers, among other songs, from nothing else matters. Are you afraid of a mixed mix? And yet, the space is quite large and the atmosphere pretty good child so that everyone here benefits from its evening and its pint at lower costs.

The Sunflower is one of the nicest places on the street, which tends to chain bars without flavor. A deco warehouse with concrete, bricks and warm colors, a young and nice staff who despite a steady rhythm always seem in good mood, rock music, electro, jazz: It was not necessary to bring a connected population on this side of Montparnasse. And it works: the crowd is getting there.

A few wall wall, a large circular mirror, wooden windows and old advertising plates associated with a few antiques menus and furniture are enough to create the peaceful and positively dusty atmosphere of this lovely restaurant. Ideal for a brunch, a snack on the small sunny terrace and sunny sunny days. The success is such that a second "Chip" opened its doors 50 metres from the older Legendre Street. Counsel: Book the week nights, because there are many people… and waiting between each dish!

Ideally located with its terrace at the corner of Avenue du Général-Leclerc, Café Daguerre is the perfect place to have a drink with friends. The menu of drinks, and especially cocktails, well provided, and the good mood of the waiters guarantee to have a pleasant time. For those who are a little hungry, sandwiches, salads and traditional cuisine, such as Troyes andouillette or beef tartar, are on the menu. The dish of the day is classic and hearty. For dessert, crème brûlée, crumble or Tatin pie will add a sweet touch to the meal.

Completely refurbished, this old café de la rue de Shower has taken on all the colours. He now proudly displays the names of the most famous artists on his walls - large letters in yellow, blue and red. The spacious, transparent bar in the background provides a green light, the atmosphere is chic and lounge. Here the music selected by the DJs is funk soul, r'n'or électro. This is a warm place and festival, an ideal place to decompress the weekend between friends.

While all the tourists rush to the terraces of Pigalle and Montmartre, trying in vain to relive the crazy atmosphere that reigned there at the beginning of the 20th century, people up to their time meet near the canals, from Belleville to La Villette: welcome to Café Chérie! The place is very nice and the decoration too, there are always people, music is very often present (especially from Thursday, with pretty discoveries at stake) and cheap drinks. We go there on Saturday nights to dance until dawn... or at any time! If you have some energy left after a day, for example, after visiting La Villette!

In the Frog family, I ask the British Library! In the heart of the 13 ^th arrondissement of Paris, this évocateur hotel is a British pub (with English servers) and a high-end Parisian brewery. The unlikely mixture of these two worlds works. Like its large "sisters" located in Bercy, Mabillon or Etienne-Marcel, you will find good homemade beers (the decoration will remind you) and you can follow football matches some evenings. This bar - not the most intimate bar - has the merit of inspiring this new quarter of the capital.

Before, the Rocket was called At Ariane, let's know why. For a long time in all cases this place has taken off, always full of openness to the closing of a whole bunch of smiling young men and relax whose many people are suspected of being used to the place. It's warm, sit where you are, on a partially occupied wooden table, or quiet in the shade of an orange wall, close to a book shelf available. The long wooden bar welcomes approximately thirty simultaneous discussions involving the bartender. We would like to be friends with the waitresses and it would be wrong to miss the Sunday night concerts, just to see how it is when everyone is silent. Large heated terrace and sunny winter, sunny summer.

Small coffee, right next to Killiwatch, in the stylish shopping area. Attended by a whole bunch of very connected people who find themselves here before going out, Le Café could be terribly unbearable and enough to see me. And not at all. With its th century déco and cabinet cabinet, this is one of the most pleasant addresses in the area. There's a mêle of mappemondes, pretty ladies, African statues, gorgeous cute kids, old maps of géo in elementary school, buried butterflies… All under the high patronage of the bacchanale fresco that orne the ceiling. We are welcome, we eat traditional cuisine. The terrace is perfect for watching the hand bags and other shopping bags that leave the area.

This is a bar you love. Under its appearance as a great Celtic pub, it hides a maxi temple of pop, mini club free of charge, where the prestigious and inventive DJs - Bloc Party, Pulp, Belle & Sebastian have passed. Fans of New Order, Franz Ferdinand, The Rapture, you are here at home. Two rooms separated by the bar are the place. On the entrance side, we're standing up around the bar or sitting in front of the projections of the day, in the middle of a large proportion of the regulars, pretty young and lookés pop. On the other side, we're dancing in front of the DJ's cab to beg to pass its favorite piece, it looks like the London subway at peak times, the music is in addition. There are numerous evenings and frequent concerts. The Truskel is just one of the best pop/rock bars in the capital.

It is a cafe where you can quietly read, chat with friends and where you can take some fresh air on the terrace or inside, in a setting of the 1950s, when Formica and its colours replaced the dull wood, which was sad to the eyes of some people. The Rouquet is a historic brewery in Saint-Germain that has kept its side that is today known as kitsch. Even though the dishes are rather fresh, its prices à la carte are not cheap but it is also the charm of the boulevard.

A very simple place, ideal for eating simple, quickly and at a lower cost: those who are on the west side of the park, towards the Porte de la Villette, have an excellent compromise here. Inside, an astonishing wall on which contemporary paintings have been placed, very many places inside, a large part of them with comfortable black leather armchairs: that's the setting. Concerning the meal, eclecticism: pizzas, burgers, pastas, meats and fish are offered via a very wide menu. The service is fast, often smiling. We don't come here to find a gastro, but effective: mission accomplished!

What we love about this bar is first and foremost its clandestine side - don't we say "Prohibition is back" here? You pass through a pizzeria and push open a heavy cold-storage door. The only thing missing behind it is Al Capone in Prohibition times. Set to jazzy tunes and 1930s decor, you'll ogle the menu with its 85 whiskies and beers, but above all for its cocktails, skilfully crafted by Pedro, Pasa, Danilo, Matteo, Martin, Valentin and Max. The perfect way to celebrate your discovery of this very special place.

The decor is made up of salvaged furniture, and includes a café and a concert area. While the International doesn't look like much from the outside, you can't help noticing a crowd of people coming in and out all the time. Inside, you soon realize that the bar's appeal lies not in its decor but in its folk, rock, electro and reggae programming... Several artists take to the stage each evening. DJs are also on hand to set the mood, and all without the need to pay an admission fee!

Ideally located on the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin, BIZZ'ART is an essential party venue in the 10th arrondissement. This friendly, eclectic establishment hosts French and international soul concerts, as well as eclectic DJs. It's also a gourmet restaurant offering tapas and mojitos to share. On Thursday evenings, "Live & Soul" enlivens the evening with soul covers, blind tests and dancing. Voted "the most fun evening in Paris", BIZZ'ART keeps the party going into the wee hours with its supercharged DJs.

Here, everything is happening in the basement: The bar splits the space into two sex zones with backrooms, cabins, certain plugs, sling, urinals and cabins. The place is not done for femmelettes! Full Metal organizes an evening for the skins (skulls razed). Dresscode is strict: leather, rubber, skin, sport, military. Some evenings are very special and to be reserved for a very knowledgeable audience (Spandex - synthetic material, mud, etc.). Weekly evenings: Monday Playing only, Tuesday Look destroy, every Wednesday Leather in action. Monthly evenings. On the first Friday of the month: Skin, the second Friday of the month; Sneaker, the third Friday of the month: Piss party, the fourth Friday of the month: Dildo and fist fucking. Smoking zone.

Do you have your Basile group in Sciences Po? At lunchtime or after classes, at the corner of Saint Guillaume Street and Grenelle Street, close to Boulevard Saint-Germain, you will probably get to Café le Basile! This original and trendy bar with a unique decor, vintage style, attracts people thanks to its friendly atmosphere and attractive prices. In addition to happy hours and Tuesday evening party where a DJ animates the place, you can come at Basile's for a brunch or a qualitative lunch or dinner. A special student menu at 10 euros ( A dish and a soda), starter/dish or main course and dessert at 16.80 euros with its large salads or burgers on top (Basile burger or veggie burger) not to mention the homemade desserts... You have choice at Basile, and that has something to delight your tastebuds!

Café Panis does not offer a delivery service. The Café Panis menu features daily starters like mozzarella tartine and salad, daily specials like Panis salad with country ham, mozzarella, avocado, cherry tomatoes and vegetables, and daily desserts like coconut mango tiramisu.

Want a fetish at 4 am in the morning? No problem, the Saint-Michel departure is open day and night! A real reference for lovers of the 5 ^th arrondissement, it is ideally placed, just steps from Notre-Dame cathedral. From here the sight is fascinating, especially in the morning: located on the large heated terrace, guests can admire the quays of the Seine, illuminated by a magnificent sunrise, while sipping their coffee. A real pleasure… It must be said that the boss and the servers do everything to make one feel good. Smiling and kind, they will not hesitate to chat with you if there are not too many people. In addition to its unique setting, it also owes its reputation to the quality of the products it offers, including its famous brûlée cream. The only negative point is high prices, but quality always has a price!

The Banana Café has just celebrated its 20 years and the victims will always be in the bar or on the tables, The Board, Miss Fein and Max, 3 queens drag, still trémoussent and put the atmosphere every Tuesday for the Desperate Banana Girls, other evenings still take place on the ground floor. When you visit this mythical place, take a tour by the basement - piano bar -, even more inclined to the "encanaillement", with sometimes good surprises, including very often firemen en goguette and Steeve on the piano for a visit of French and Anglo-Saxon standards. The ground floor stays in a more gay friendly note. Attention if you intend to dredge: Even if Banana is always filled with cute guys, you sometimes risk falling on hetero, but tolerant hetero… From 18 a. m. to 23 p. m., it's the Happy hour low hour cost to Banana at competitive prices, one more reason to go to this historic and hystéique place! 2 arenas, one on the ground floor, the other on the basement.

How to pass through Saint-Germain Boulevard without quoting the Café Mabillon, which has become a rather chic rendez-vous? It's almost non-stop (the nights are many from a certain time, normal!) You can sit there for a drink or eat - but you will have understood it, the prices are quite high - and enjoy a deckroom lounge with benches and armchairs. The terrace, heated in summer and refreshed in winter, will allow you to enjoy the favorite sport of this clientele: look and show.

How does one of the last few Parisian sex clubs come to the full, including in August, while many local bars attend without the disaffection of their customers? Perhaps because here many things are radically wrong with what we are accustomed to elsewhere. First, the reception is not extravagant, but sober, humble and professional. Then Francis, the boss, doesn't grow to consumption (only one glass is enough to take advantage of the place) and everyone is housed in the same sign, without discrimination. Finally, prices are low, and even very low. And as a bonus, smokers have a cabin at their disposal. Don't forget that Rafael at the cloakroom is really very pleasant to watch. Yet, at the opening, none would have bet a penny on the success of this place, so it is close to Full Metal and HQ (now the Krash). Today, he has created a clientele of regulars with many visitors from province and abroad. It is small and therefore conducive to fast and free approaches. Bar on the ground floor, then 2 basements for fun, some cabins and a cross of Saint André. Every Saturday, from 15 p. m., «Leather and Slavic afternoon», every Sunday, Snike and Piss afternoon… You are warned!

Old Mix Bar and the newest gay bar in the capital, frequented by young people would surprise before the box exit. Music house and techno, a dark atmosphere and very little space to sit, but it is not in any case the kind of clientele that tends to trémousser under the blaffard lighting of the Enseigne sign which dominates the bar. The area is often crowded and overflowing on the mini in the street. A second shelter in the basement is still calmer. Young and trendy clientele. 

A modern ambience and guest-guys in this bar, which is one of the oldest in the Marais (almost 25 years old!), just steps from town hall. At the end of the 80 s, he was one of the most popular gay bars in the neighbourhood and one of the first to adopt a completely glazed window. Today, in popularity with Cox or Open, it always attracts a loyal clientele who likes to find themselves at the time of the aperitif. On Mondays and Tuesdays, Pastis and Ricard are 2,50 €. And if after your drink, the mood takes you to dinner and you don't want to run on the other side of the neighborhood, Eglantine opposite will do the business very well - see "Restaurants". Amazing WC because surrounded by mirrors. Mini-terrace. Please note that all holidays are celebrated by theme evenings.

Le Merle Moqueur is a very small address in the neighbourhood but as it is also an institution, it is very quickly crowded. And as the speciality of the house is arranged rums which are sold in a dozen, you should expect to sweat. But this does not matter, here you will always have a jovial and relaxed atmosphere, good mood guaranteed; it is no doubt the most animated address of the corner. Discover it with friends for a toasted walkabout. One ti‘punch, two ti‘punch, three ti‘punch... and your wakeup will be complicated the next day!

Montmartre still has places where the charm works immediately. When you cross the small square and the blue doors of La Jolie Bohemian, you will feel a real feeling of human well-being and warmth. In fact, this bistro offering generous traditional dishes is a good place to stay on the terrace for a happy hour for your wallet. On Friday evening, concerts dedicated to Brazilian music or country for example. Here's an address that everyone likes, whether you're Amélie Foal or Marion Cotillard in Paris in Paris!

Beneath its unpretentious bistro exterior, Le Dada is the meeting place for young professionals from the Avenue des Ternes area. In fact, the bar is often full. Suits and ties clinging to their buckets also often spill out onto the sidewalk, onto the street. And if not, locals and visitors alike, who stop off here before heading off to do their shopping at the Bayen market just a few meters away. If you're looking for more space and comfort, head upstairs to enjoy the soft lighting and plush sofas.

100% naturist, the rule may surprise first, especially when the doorman gives you a plastic bag to store your business! But the reception is very comfortable in this small but welcoming bar. We drink a glass and talk on the ground floor because customers are first easy. No worries, you won't put your hands on the package directly, nor will you measure your manhood by trying to measure the size of the object of the crime - delight. And then it's pretty nice to sip an orange vodka in the ass!
In the basement, large mattresses, sling, alcoves, minilabyrinthe, what had fun with one or more comrades. Quite hétéroclite clientele. There are for all tastes but you never get bored!

This café offers rustic, healthy and organic cuisine, served by volunteers. You can eat in or take away, but there is no delivery service. In addition to its culinary offerings, Le Moulin à Café also offers a variety of regular events and activities, including concerts, yoga, jazz dance, sophrology and much more.

Café Jozi has one idea in mind: to offer its customers the best coffee in the capital. The variations are numerous, delicious and have a South African touch that's not unpleasant, nor without origin, since the team comes straight from Johannesburg. On the menu, coffees from the best roasters (Kawa, The Barn, Coutume) are joined by fantastic teas, fresh juices, homemade pastries, tartines, soups, and then (and for many, let's face it) excellent pancakes...

Kozy Bosquet is a favorite with brunch lovers in Paris. Located a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower, it offers a tempting brunch concept all day long. The menu has something for everyone, with sweet and savory crepes, avocado toast, eggs Benedict and granola bowls. Vegetarians will also find something to their liking. Kozy's baristas are also experts in coffee, iced cappuccino, matcha latte and smoothies, which you can enjoy on the spot or to take away.

This boutique offers a wide selection of loose and bagged teas, as well as rare vintages and accessories. You can enjoy your tea on site, take it away or even have it delivered. L'Empire des Thés offers a wide variety of green teas from different regions of China and Japan. You can also find gift sets and accessories for preparing your tea.

Here's a place where the star is the cocktail, which is savored with concentration. And it's easy to see why: in addition to standards and original beverages, at Lulu's they work with absinthe. Several of the cocktails feature absinthe, and that's what makes this experience so unique. You'll also appreciate the cosy atmosphere of the place, where you can sit down with friends (note that the place is not suitable for overly festive and noisy events). As popular as it is, the place doesn't require reservations: first come, first served.

If you're dreaming of pushing ditty in public and friends, but you don't have a lot of karaoke and the Star AC doesn't try you, the 50 is the stage you need. For here on Sunday (except in summer) it is song system: a chorus of past successes in the right mood, accompanied by Marcello à la guitar. If you don't know Brel, for example, on the fingertips, no panic, words are at your disposal. And then, necessarily, having seen his neighbor on the right massacre Brassens it breaks the ice in no time. Homemade cocktails not to be missed. In this small bar in length with two small rooms - 1950 spring déco - there are sometimes also French song or jazz concerts.

The kind of bar you are happy to know and make discover, so it does Latin quarter. Just behind the facade of yesteryear, we are greeted by a jukeboxes that has not yet sung his last Waltz in a thousand times. The bar frequented mostly by students seems to have crossed periods with the peace of a ship. And the bartender holds the bar with the kindness of the captains in the long course. Here we drink homemade sangria; Which is good and not expensive, surrounded by ancient movie posters, on authentic bistro tables, talking a little about everyone between two allers to the jukeboxes and a few steps of dance where you find square. Caught up by the atmosphere, we are often surprised by the closure.

The Four Seasons George V Bar plays the classic Louis XVI style furniture, fireplace and library books creating a warm atmosphere. The bartender chef Johann Burgos offers, for example, the "George Fizz", fresh strawberries and raspberries mixed with a guava juice and orange juice, covered with grenadine, all shaké to champagne. Martini enthusiasts will be able to choose from the numerous cocktails shown on the theme of colours: " Purple martini "based on cream and cream of cassis or even" Red Martini "which mixes watermelon liqueur and peach cream.

During tea time, a pianist accompanies guests in the room, cocktails are served until the evening in the outdoor courtyard.
