The best bars and cafés Ile-De-France

Jambon-piperade specialities: Basque specialities are cooked up here, and if the Aviron Bayonnais are to meet the Stade Français, we promise you that the atmosphere will be warm! The stadium's fans have long been accustomed to eating and snacking while watching the matches, or as they attack the third half. The terrace here is spacious and rare in this part of the capital, ideal for fine weather. Finally, on Thursdays, come and enjoy the aperitif from 7pm to 2am. It's the kind of friendly address we love!

The borough has some great initiatives, more and more numerous. And this Golden Age, let's face it, bears its name well: it is a wonderfully vintage associative place, where you can settle down for a drink or a meal, and many other things. For here, debates are organized, most often around "culture and pleasure", workshops are open to all, literary cafés are set up, in short, a whole life is organized around this place, now well known in the south-east of the capital. The goal posted here : "stimulate the senses, knowledge and encounters". The bet is taken, and largely kept - we love it.

In a kitsch setting, you can enjoy fruit cocktails - but also ice cream, salads and dishes - with amazing flavors and lavishly presented with huge straw and fresh fruit. Le Paradis du Fruit is one of the forerunners of return to natural life. Season fruits are the star of the card with some small differences, especially the Bonbons candy. This is not to not children! What pleases the big ones is freshness, quality of products, and the possibility of composing its own cocktail. What pleases the branchés is to be happy in an original way, those who watch their line will appreciate the pleasures of fruit without taking superfluous kilos and the greedy ones will love everything!

This bar, well known to all the capital's geeks, is very often packed: make sure you get there early if you want to try the house cocktails (Poison Ivy or Fulguro Poing) or even grab a bite to eat. Vegetarians and vegans are welcome here. The decor is particularly worth a visit, between the life-size E.T. figurine, the Star Wars atmosphere and the board games on the shelves. Events are organized regularly (blind test, role-playing game).

Looking for a place to celebrate, especially to celebrate the birthday of a friend (e)? Café Charcoal is present and requires all the qualities required for a successful evening. On site you can eat and drink at a small price and enjoy the festive and convivial atmosphere of the places. Everything is successful: from the garden with red tones and its slate to exhibitions of painters, by the concerts given some evenings. Weekends, Charcoal is black, but you can book a table via the website. A counsellor!

A reference, of course! Treat yourself to the luxury of tasting the best traditional hot chocolate in Paris. Named the African, it owes its name to the origins of the three cocoas that make it up: Ghana, Niger and Côte d'Ivoire. With its powerful and strong aromas, it is the pride of the house that keeps the secret of its recipe, just like Mont-Blanc, this gourmet pastry that combines the crunch of meringue with the lightness of whipped cream and the sweetness of vermicelli and chestnut cream. It is to the Austrian confectioner Antoine Rumpelmayer that we owe these original creations, which have conquered the most refined palates. The setting, too, is splendid. Good to know: Sunday brunch offers a good value for money.

In the golden triangle, one of the most luxurious areas in Paris, the Manko offers a bar with Peruvian inspirations. Cocktails, based on Pisco or tequila, are tested in all their facets. The Pisco punch is particularly like the Touches punch and jasmine. The framework is atypical and sublime and the evening only starts if you come on the weekend: Take a seat in the cabaret, and enjoy amazing jokes.

A great concept that renews the exercise. Le Duchesse may be a games bar, but it's not just any games bar. At the helm are Grégoire, an unrivalled connoisseur of games, and Loïc, from whom nothing is hidden when it comes to drinks: in 2022, the alliance of these two accomplices gave birth to an original, welcoming place where you can play while quenching your thirst or satisfying your hunger (simple, effective and tasty proposals are on offer). Whether you're looking for a fast-paced game or the chance to discover new and sometimes undiscovered gaming nuggets, there's no shortage of things to do here.

Formerly one of Paris'most popular record stores, the Record didn't completely transfer their cuti. Because if this bar is one of the most important of Bastille since it was redesigned, its decoration pays tribute to the great hours of African-American music and its musical selection is one of the most evocative of Paris. The heart of the Parisian nightlife, this place is an area of meeting and exchange around music. The programming is built mainly around jazz, soul and funk, with playlists passing the tubes of the biggest American labels: Blue Note, Stax, Impulse, Verve, Motown, Prestige. Concert hall above all, the crowd is busy to enjoy the talent of young artists of the hip-hop stage, soul, salsa… On the weekend, the Djs take the baton to make us dance until the end of the night. At the bar, mojito, ti'punch, caïpirinha or margarita at reasonable prices. The clientele is young and cosmopolitan, made up of artists, visitors, tourists and students. Please note that the Record offer a rehearsal studio and a smoking area.

Before or after a cinema session, many people are on the street. After many changes of owners and ambiances, the manager managed to retain his clientele and to make this place a bar-lounge very appreciated and very living in Rueil, something rather rare: Every Friday, karaoke evenings are organised and every Saturday, DJ evenings. The staff were friendly and helpful. In the summer you can enjoy the terrace. It is also possible to dine and even to privatise the rooms on the floor for events.

Andy for Warhol and Wahloo for "nothing" in Arabic: the tone is set. Here, we're immersed in a Warholian mix of oriental touches, with tables made of Moroccan road signs, seats made of cans and benches from the Thousand and One Nights. A one-way ticket to somewhere else. The place is spacious but quickly crowded, as success dictates. The undulating bar with its integrated orange lights blends perfectly with the thousands of small Arab supermarket items huddled in boxes along the glass. The atmosphere is both cosy and festive, and the cocktails are good.

Want to discover the Parisian nightlife? Admire Notre-Dame Cathedral? Float on the Seine? Enjoy a seasonal dish and a glass of good wine? You can do all this with just one address: La Nouvelle Seine. This barge, located at the foot of the majestic cathedral, is sure to satisfy all your cravings, especially for great food. And in its belly hides a show stage typical of Parisian cabarets with a diverse program: one-man-shows, shows for young audiences, burlesque stripping...

Just a stone's throw from Jardin Des Plantes, the Grand Mosque of Paris, North African-style houses several spaces, including a magnificent tea room. Its interior is cosy and exotic, the walls are covered with tiles, these famous Moroccan patterns and the tables are copper plates. Once you are comfortably installed, the waiters come around to serve hot and deliciously sweetened mint tea. You can choose to accompany it with oriental pastries (gazelle horns, loukoum…). You can enjoy the large green terrace filled with birds on sunny days. Refinement and rest are the key words of this place.

The Motel blurs the lines: it's not a hotel, not quite a bar, not really a concert hall, but it plays a bit of both sides in its edgy decor and rock spirit. DJs, live music and, above all, the neighbourhood's underground fauna keep this motel lively long after midnight. But don't worry, everyone's welcome here, and frankly, the atmosphere is very good-natured. The trendy clientele can be a bit of a caricature, but we'll ignore the clichés. Music is so popular here that the Motel even has its own music compilation.

If you haven't yet discovered Gravity Bar, it's never too late to catch up! From the first glance, the Scandinavian-inspired decor is a real eye-catcher: from floor to ceiling, large wave-shaped slats of white wood set the scene. The cocktails on offer are made in front of you, of course, and the expertise on display is worth the show. On the menu, the vast majority of cocktails are unknown to the general public: a good point. We also recommend the excellent sharing plates.

It's obviously a great restaurant, which we've tried several times, and which develops well-realised, well-thought-out gastronomic standards with the best value for money. But the Taverne des Rois is also a pub where you can sit all day long and watch the boats and barges go by - the port is only a few meters away. And in the evening, the place comes alive with music and sports broadcasts. It's hard not to have fun... the place is also suitable for your private parties.

This Petit Olympia is the place to be before or after a concert in the mythical frescoed hall of Rome. The impressive wooded decor has been sublimated to allow everyone to be in a furiously cosy place. You can of course eat there, but you can also have a drink in peace. The beautiful place is even connected by a small secret passage that will lead you directly to the Olympia. It had been demolished in 1997, and was dug again: a unique experience. You can sometimes meet celebrities there, mainly before or after shows. A nice place to go in this area which is not lacking in celebrities.

After the discreet facade, you will see a large silver counter with a few tables. What's more customary, you'll say, so far. But let's go a little bit, let's go to curiosity and you will finally discover, at the bottom of the room, a pleasant garden floor, with fountain and water jets. A blessing to enjoy a drink or nibble in the neighborhood. Yet the surprise of this place does not stop there. It is in the attractive and large basement room, open on a large and wide glass bay behind which a waterfall runs, that you will most probably was. Here you sing, dance, you dredge, because Le Biz offers many evenings. If on Monday evening you will see the famous karaoke, Wednesday is reserved for the singles, and this time you'll be told, this time, you speed-date at all-go (compulsory registration at www.softdating.com). The rest of the time, let's make DJ's, they will always be there to make you dance.

Formerly known as the Scène Bastille, the Badaboum is one of Paris's hottest nightspots. Aurélien Antonini (former programmer of the Bains-Douches and promoter of the Queen's parties) and Aurélien Delaeter (former manager of the Concorde Atlantique and River's King boats) have given life to a trendy space combining concert hall and electro club, offering performances as sonorous as they are visual. Le Badaboum also features a Cocktail Bar, a Cantine where you can rediscover the dishes of your childhood, and a Secret Room...

Certainly one of the most beautiful and warmest summer terraces in Paris. Located in the 12th district just behind the AccorHotels Arena, the Papa Cabane is really a must to leave Paris for a festive evening. Wooden terrace, cosy furniture, colored cushions, animations worthy of a vacation club, salsa classes, Latin music and summer hits with a good DJ, but also petanque ground and ping-pong table... The bar offers good cocktails and one of the best mojitos in Paris.

You need to know the address, tucked away in a little-used street just a stone's throw from the Place du Marché. And yet it's THE cocktail bar of the city: nearly 200 compositions, including 100 creations with or without alcohol. The often overcrowded place brings together the young people of the area, in a world music atmosphere and unusual decor. The welcome is relaxed and the service overflowing as soon as you reach the declawed time slot. The little extra you can't miss: read all the messages scribbled on the cards and leave a little dedication.

In the heart of the famous rue des Rosiers, cap on Central and Eastern Europe thanks to this Yellow Boutique founded in 1946, symbol of a return to life after Nazi hell. You can enjoy on-site or take traditional Yiddish specialities such as vatrouchka (sweet white cheese cake) with vanilla and grapes, unless you prefer cherries, lemon or orange orange. Viennese strudel and poppy cake are also worth a visit. The boutique also offers savoury specialities such as goulasch, caviar from sweet peppers, Bulgarian böreks - sheep cheese, peppers, spinach or small vegetables - not forgetting hot sandwiches such as the Yiddish sandwich.

With its exotic atmosphere, its countless tea jars each more enchanting than the last, the fine and delicate teapots and cups, Mariage Frères hasn't finished to seduce you. The prices are the same. Because if lovers of tea are ready to sacrifice an important part of their money to enjoy the most subtle combinations, the neophyte can practice on very affordable teas with perfumes from elsewhere. The tea room and the restaurant allow you to enjoy tea in all its forms: cuisine with tea, with for example a salmon with Jade tea powder infusion, desserts with tea, such as the creme brulee with Marco Polo tea, or fruit cocktails with tea, like the Habibi, a frosty mixture with Casablanca green and black tea. And beware those who dare to ask for a coffee after their dessert!

Rather than an interstellar journey, it's a journey in the time you propose Planet Mars, in the heart of the 1960 s. The place of the place is obviously dominated by red. There are no tables or chairs, but stools and bars to drink cocktails and bottled to the sound of the branchés DJ and soul. Among the clients are nice and cheerful rockers tendance, leather jackets and gomina. And yet, if you're not part of the band, you don't feel at all alien when you get on this planet. We feel immediately welcomed around the small bar in the round of this friendly and well-filled space, under the benevolent gaze of the regulars and toy robots of our childhood shelter in their plexiglas globes. In light of the other bars in the Bastille district.

This pub with a very explicit name is a must for students in the neighbourhood and for those looking for a friendly and affordable afterwork.

Customers enjoy theHappy Hour from 4pm to 9pm on weekdays and from 4pm to midnight on Saturdays. The team also offers boards, burgers, crocs, fries and many other snacks

Located in the former dining room of the hotel, café Jacquemart-André is the most beautiful tearoom in Paris. Consoles Louis XV in sculptured and gilded wood, beautiful tapestries of the eighteenth century and to top it all with the ceiling painted by Tiepolo where characters trompe-l'oeil leaning on the balustrade gives the impression of greeting visitors. Pleasant, brunch on the terrace, overlooking the garden. This charming setting should take you to the time of great artists such as Titian and Botticelli.

Quite banal from the outside, if you don't pay more attention, you could go your way! Indeed, it is by entering the interior of this quite classic brasserie that you discover the charm of the place: brown furniture and red seats, sounds of cutlery and exclamation behind the kitchen, Napoleonic frescoes which adorn the back wall, small dishes of the south west, and many other highly tasty surprises… For a quick coffee or a long break with friends with a glass of wine, Caffe Cambronne is enjoyable for its warm atmosphere. The price is certainly a little high, but you won't be disappointed by the quality of the establishment.

A swore great fan of Elvis (his tattoos prove his faith), biscotos and cap screwed on the head, Alan runs his bar like no one else. Tens of "old" mojito are served each day here, and we rarely wait on the counter. In a mood of rockabilly and Montmartrean bistro, the atmosphere encourages you either to dance the rock or to listen to the anecdotes of this place which crossed all 20th century, leaned with an original. In addition to that, Alan, a passionate about history, knows some nice stories about former owner, named Camille. Our favourite is: when the German soldiers went up the hillock to search the neighbourhood during the Second World War, we heard the whistle of Camille to warn the inhabitants to the Sacré-Coeur. In short, we have fun in the old-fashioned way at Chez Camille and we do it well.

The Octogenarian Bar Le Bristol knows how to renew over the years, to stay at the forefront… For several months, it has a prestigious new recruit: Chief bartender Maxime Hoerth, Best Worker of France 2011. He selects products of excellence to make you appreciate your cocktail! To accompany him, the bar also offers a tapas assortment created by Bristol Étoilé Chef Eric Frechon. All in a luxurious atmosphere: Silk curtains, woodwork and marble fireplace. The place also hosts sharp Djs from Thursday to Saturday, to make the happy few on electro and vintage sounds.

Here is an address that should delight gourmets. Located at 75, rue du Bac, the bistro Les Ambassades invites you to take a gourmet break in a pleasant and friendly setting. We serve classic French dishes like rice pudding, a particularly tasty bone marrow, homemade french fries, snails from Burgundy, duck foie gras or a hearty shepherd's board. In addition, the wine list is very extensive and allows you to discover local wines. It is a perfect place for reunions around good food.

A must, located right next to La Cigale and having the same notoriety in Paris - or almost. Indeed, this trendy bar with its industrial and wooded decor, on several levels, is located right next to the famous stage. This is where the trendy youth meet before or after having shared a musical moment, but it is above all a very lively rallying point. In the evening, avoid making it a place for a romantic date, the crowd is dense, and we prefer to come here in a group. The drinks are affordable for the neighbourhood, and the terrace is unmissable in summer. In short, an institution in Pigalle, filled from morning to night.

Paris-SG supporters welcome home! Patrick, the boss of the Parrot, welcomes you in a 100% MTP atmosphere, as evidenced by the numerous posters, scarves, sweaters and photos that line the walls entirely. All the matches of the Paris team are broadcast in this bar where all eyes are placed on the screens. Big game nights, think about booking or coming soon because the bar is fast. If you don't like football, you can still drink a drink at a good child price.

A few years ago, three former Moonshiner bartenders decided to give pride of place to gin, Elizabeth II's favorite drink. While this famous beverage remains the king of the place, there are also - with some 30 international references - a number of Italian spirits, liqueurs and bitters in classic or twisted cocktails, not forgetting creations full of surprises with a wide range of flavours: fruity, strong, fresh, salty, bitter, sweet... The place also boasts a lovely terrace.

For those who have enough of the rue de Charonne and its surroundings, the Piston Pelican is a bar where the atmosphere is good child. The name comes from a theatre troupe who loved the place and was there. The decor is classic and sober with the atmosphere, it remains whatever it is relaxed and festive. On the consumption side, you'll find what you're drinking with, in particular, vodka served by a metre or a pitcher mojito… Keep a little moderation! As far as music is concerned, it is an eclectic maximum: songs, gypsy jazz, rock, electro, blind evenings, DJ sets…

Cool jazz for the aperitif or evening? Direction the hotel of Aubusson where the Café Laurent is - about sixty places. Since 2001, in a factory of beams and fireplaces - there is also a patio - the trio of pianist Christian Brenner leads the game, often accompanied by a guest soloist. Opened in 1690, the Café Laurent was a very popular address of the intellectuals of the Enlightenment. Later, at Liberation, it was its winery that made world famous its address: the famous Taboo was indeed here. He was frequented by Boris Vian, Raymond Queneau, François Mauriac, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Juliette Greco, Mouloudji… Legendary! Note that Wednesday evening is based on the concept of "a piano, a voice".

La Juxtaposition: the name says it all, or almost... You're sure to come in for a cup of Christine Dattner tea or a Brûlerie de Belleville coffee, attracted no doubt by Frédéric Cassel's signature pastries, or by the boutique corner with its greeting cards, notepads, notebooks, lighting and objects by artisans. This soft, serene space will never cease to amaze you with its regular creative workshops and exhibitions. For those with a sweet tooth, there's also a brunch one Sunday a month.

Gay and very "guys", one of the gay locomotives in the neighborhood. The ritual is fun: until 18 p. m. there is virtually no one. Then it's the happy hour and as soon as 19 p. m., the beer flows through it: The bar is flooded to the point of literally blocking the sidewalk for almost two hours, both summer and winter. Then boys go dinner and there is no longer a big world until closure. In Cox, you'll find a lot of guys, quadras or a little less, short hair, @, tattooed, tattooed, tan, jean, or leather. The interior decoration changes every three months - from the farm to the casino. Well-known DJ djs perform on the players every evening. For those that the mass effect does not rebute, it is an essential bar of the Marais. To advise the canada and claustrophobes, even on the terrace. This dredge at all goes! Two events not to be missed: the aperitif of Pride and especially the Festival of Music.

For many years, Bear's Den offers a warm atmosphere for bears and teddy bears and their friends in a true stone decor. On three levels, Bear's Den proposes outside: a terrace inside: a bar on the ground floor, a mezzanine floor and a disco-bar area where you will be able to relax on the latest dance-hits as well as the oldest hits. Crowded at the time of the aperitif, it is very often in the second basement room where the thematic evenings take place - refer to the agenda on the website, detailed and very well updated. The vaulted room of the basement (very beautiful) hosts clubbing evenings, with a pretty good sound from the seventies to the present.

Originally called La Canteen des Ginettes armed, this place of 300 m 2, originally lesbian, became mixed on two levels in the heart of Paris has only one currency: " We eat, drink, dance. " The garden, between fun kitsch and "as at home" makes this bar a unique place of its kind. It is in several versions, bourgeois for the dining room with old wallpaper wallpaper and lustre, kitchen in another room with bed and red and white tiles, half caravan as separation, for another, with a large U at the entrance, a DJ cabin. There are large dining to eat together or a submarine in the basement, not to mention the DJs'caravan. There are salads, croques, dishes of the day, breakfast plates. A lot of choices at very reasonable rates given the neighbourhood. Daily music programming, especially electro-magnetic. Lesbian mixed public - especially -homo - some - and hetero - a little too much. Very noisy place because of - or thanks to? - its success. Girls in the service are speeds and often at the limit of kindness. Regular alternative evenings, consult the site for dates.

République is the meeting point for many Parisians, since it is quite "central". The difficult thing is to find a bar large enough to receive bands of friends in a neighborhood often crowded. Le Toucan, with its great capacity, works extremely well! The happy hour is very generous for a bar in the capital and you eat quite well there (croque-monsieur, pasta and salads are offered on the menu). A good address for reunions between friends.
