The best wine bars France

Stéphane and Stéphanie have created here, at the beginning of 2014, one of the new trendy and unmissable addresses of Versailles. Half wine bar, half chic canteen, the place is adorned with country freshness: grey walls, terracotta tiles and exposed beams, large wooden tables or small tables for lovers are organized around the bar. The welcome is like at home, and it is true that it feels good. At the end of the day, you come here to enjoy a glass of wine or a glass of champagne, accompanied by a platter of fine charcuterie or carefully selected cheeses. You can also simply have lunch and dinner there. On the slate, a short menu concocted with authentic products: croque du chef, or small simmered dish, then a famous gourmet dessert - taste the brookie. A small, trendy and warm address, with no false pretenses, as it was lacking in Versailles.

At the Cave des Darons, we drink and eat. Yannick took over this old cellar, which had already been in existence for 25 years. We particularly like the patio (which can be privatized) where you can enjoy the terrace. The wine bar is open from Tuesday to Saturday until 9pm in July and August, otherwise from Thursday to Saturday. Wine tasting is often accompanied by a platter of local produce. Open all year round, the Cave des Darons houses no fewer than 1,000 references. Meetings with producers are also on the agenda. Also in La Teste-de-Buch.

It's hard to categorize this establishment, which is in a way an epicurean concept store! You can have lunch, drink a coffee in the afternoon, enjoy a good bottle and a good plate in the evening while appreciating the regular musical animations of the place and even have brunch on Sundays. André Adjiba loves life and wishes to make the heart of our city beat a little more with this new establishment. A relaxed, guinguette atmosphere, with tasty food and wine and a successful decor, especially the beautiful terrace with trees.

In front of the casino stands a large glass building offering a light bath to the numerous customers who frequent L'Octave, a wine bar and a cellar. The place is classy and warm, it has 3 terraces and looks like the favorite bar in La Faute-sur-Mer. It stands out for its vast selection of wines, about 250 references, as well as about twenty wines by the glass, to be accompanied by homemade terrines, Spanish delicatessen, farmhouse cheese. Seventy references of spirits, including those of the Vrignaud distillery and top-of-the-line fruit juices.

It's an address that's getting people talking. Perched on Cours Julien, in a street of flamboyant street-art, this surprising wine bar has made a specialty of showcasing "orange wine". An astonishing color for our eyes, but so pleasing for our curious taste buds. The color is obtained by vinifying a white wine close to a red wine. A fine selection of vintages from all over the world. The fine wines are accompanied by the cuisine of the chefs in residence each month, Valentin Raffali, the chef-owner, having embarked on new adventures.

An amusing detail in the 3 B's restaurant menu: the pizzas are named after wines. Why are they called Sancerre, Sauvignon or Piquepoul? Because 3 B is not only a quality restaurant, but also a wonderful wine cellar. The choice is large, and the owner will give you excellent advice to match your dish and your bottle. The good understanding, he knows it! As well between himself and his customers, as between the dishes and the wines. You can go there with your eyes closed, you will come out fulfilled.

An address not to be missed, located in the historical and trendy Vaugueux district. On the program of the Gavroche: tapas, pizzas to share, wines, vintage wines, cocktails... A menu prepared in-house with fresh products. Italian inspiration, but also seafood or salmon gravlax, for this bar of friends where the atmosphere is assured. Without forgetting the decoration, from the flowery vintage to the retro on the floor. Romuald and Justin, two lovers of good food, are at the helm and they prove it once again!

This new wine bar has just opened in this legendary building located downtown. After several months of work, the Cul de Sac has been completely transformed into a wine and spirits bar. The project was born thanks to Pauline Hairaye. Inside, we discover three spaces: the main room, the relaxation room for more intimacy and the vaulted cellar for the rustic side. A pleasant terrace has also been arranged. The establishment also offers platters of cold cuts, cheeses or fish and spreads.

Since 2022, the Organisme de Défense et de Gestion, which represents more than 220 winegrowers in 5 cooperatives and 350 individual wineries, has been operating a Wine Truck to promote Médoc and Haut-Médoc AOC wines. A veritable traveling wine bar, the truck takes part in various cultural and sporting events, and is available to winegrowers at trade fairs and shows. It's a great way for winemakers to promote their wines and get closer to consumers.

Why not round off your visit with a tasting at the Ponti'Bar, the wine bar in the former monastic cellar. With its charming terrace overlooking the bucolic Jardin Serein, you can treat yourself to one of the selected vintages, a tribute to all the climates of Burgundy. Wines by the glass or bottle, from Chablisien to Mâconnais, via Côtes de Beaune, Nuits and Chalonnaise! Snacks, after-works and Sunday lunches.

Lisseth and Christian welcome you with a smile to this pretty wine bar. Here, they invite you to discover Alsace's fine organic and natural wines. Although Lisseth hails from Venezuela, she was immediately drawn to the wide variety of Alsace wines and their strong terroir character. So she won't talk to you as a winemaker, nor as an oenologist, but as a passionate lover. At Ariès, we take our time and enjoy an evening of tastings, with tasty earthy-inspired dishes to share in complete conviviality!

Almost twenty years ago, the former first-aid post on Agon-Coutainville beach was transformed into a bar-pub with a contemporary decor. Enjoy a good glass of wine, accompanied, why not, by a few tapas of codfish accras and fried chorizo. The wine, in fact: the place is also known as a good wine bar, which, in addition to the advice given on the spot, allows you to taste some very good bottles. All of which can be enjoyed on one of the three terraces overlooking the sea.

The Babe, worthy baby of the famous Mother, definitely honours the lineage! Here, always the same hype atmosphere that made the Mother's success, but a menu based on exceptional meat. With its huge room in the spirit of industrial butchery, its large tables and its 20 draught beers to enjoy and to accompany with generous boards, the place is packed at aperitif time. Deli meats and cheeses are selected from passionate producers and from sustainable livestock farming, mainly in France and the North. Their beer, Lil Babe, is even brewed at 800 m! A happy hour headquarters in the heart of the city not to be missed.

Do you still know what a bar is? A friendly place to have a good drink! Le Bon Pain Bon Vin, a young address that likes to look back to the past, brings the French bar tradition up to date. Here, the napkins are like the checkered tablecloths and we like this "old" France where we knew how to drink well and eat well... Festive bistro atmosphere on an open kitchen that has nothing to hide. Wide opening hours to meet with friends for a good drink from a carefully selected menu and good, generous dishes like herring and apples in oil. A very nice address that honors the French art of living!

Julian Gouverd, also manager of the Biz'tro next door, gives a nod to his history. His grandfather created the Javel Barbizier cleaning products company in Besançon in 1938. Subdued atmosphere, pastel decoration with a wall covered with polaroids of the year's parties. The magazine-style menu is extensive: excellent wines, whiskies, gins, mojitos. The Mocktails, tasty cocktails, intense and without alcohol, are to be tried!

And for special occasions, Le Voltaire offers its 200 m² for privatization.

Located on the Grand'Place, this modern place gathers all the codes of an urban bar of the North: wooden furniture, steel and iron frames, and brick, of course!

The bar has a program according to the events of the year. Note that it is also one of the rare bars in the city to close late. Convenient to start and why not finish your evening!

Vienna, the land where wine is king. And to discover all its treasures, take a break at the Bar à vin des Saveurs.

What a beautiful and well justified name for this establishment adjacent to the Hôtel des Arts! This lounge bar welcomes you in an elegant Art Nouveau decor. Each hour has its own atmosphere, in the morning for breakfast, in the afternoon for tea time and then an aperitif with nice plates or seafood to share. It is the only wine bar in town. The decoration is both modern and precious and a stylized Mona Lisa watches over the gustatory pleasures of the customers. The bar already has its regulars, especially for the Sunday brunch!

At La Verrière, you can do anything! Do we share a drink while eating a small dish or do we share a dish while drinking a drink? The question is not very important since in both cases the essential remains the sharing. A beautiful address, with its terrace close to the lake, its famous glass roof and a room bigger than it looks with its bar in majesty from the entrance, to organize a successful aperitif.

A good harvest in the Saint-Bruno district with this atypical bar dedicated to natural wines.

And it's not one, not two, but three menus that are offered to you: discovery, pleasure or sensation with a price that rises crescendo, to be accompanied by delicious delicacies.

A passion is something to be shared. The Moulin family began by sharing theirs, oenology, by opening a wine cellar in downtown Issoire. A few years ago, they also opened their wine bar. It is therefore possible to enjoy a glass of wine while sharing a delicious plate of tapas. Red, white, rosé... the opportunity to discover new flavors and small wonders in wine. For this, let yourself be guided by the advice of the friendly and professional team. You can also find these wines in Vic-le-Comte.

If you are looking for a place full of life and animation to settle down in the heart of downtown, look no further: go to O Divin. A very nice wine bar and very popular with the Sénonais. Numerous animations are proposed there all year long, like jazz or karaoke evenings, but also Barbecue Party, Beaujolais nouveau or Saint Patrick's day, for example. We really like the warm atmosphere, and the small food proposed. Without forgetting the good choice of cocktails. You will have understood, we recommend it to you!

What better setting to enjoy a glass of local wine than this perched hut, lost in the middle of the vineyards? The location is truly enchanting, offering an admirable view of the region's superb landscape.

A real little corner of paradise!

Lovers of great wines and a warm atmosphere will be served at the Bacchus cellar. Amandine and Nadège are more than passionate about the world of wine, they are also driven by the pleasure of entertaining. From Chablis to the Côte de Beaune through the Côte de Nuits, the selections of vintages of regional producers and harvesters are mixed and tasted. Because the tasting would not be complete without some local dishes, remember that here we also nibble, in the dining room or on the terrace around a board of cold cuts or cheeses.

The gourmets are unanimous: they have often come, they have never been disappointed! It must be said that here good taste is found everywhere, from the decoration to the tasty, savory plates... And worked in front of your eyes, or almost, since the open kitchen at the back of the room lets you see, even before you see the menu, the suggestions of the day. We like the homemade food that you can feel from the starter to the dessert, the warm welcome, the nice terrace with a view on the harbor and the wine list to discover with a charcuterie board as an aperitif.
