The best bars and cafés Ile-De-France

Looking for a quiet and soothing place where you can recharge your batteries? This is the Valmy, a pleasant address to settle after a walk on the quays of the Canal Saint-Martin. Probably less noisy and less have seen me as neighboring bars and breweries, but perhaps also a less qualitative chouïa. However, regular animations are taking place, including storytellers who tell their stories, while exhibitions make it possible to make young artists known.

If you like the Cassel house, in addition to the chocolate factory, you'll find a dedicated place to sample the brand's creations. The advice and welcome are attentive: it's a real pleasure to be able to enjoy them, as the production workshop is right next door, with Frédéric Cassel himself at the helm. Add to this a wide selection of Dammann Frères teas, and you're sure to fall under the spell. There's also a boutique in Carré-Sénart.

A pleasant place where it is good to stop the time of a tasting. Jérôme warmly welcomes you and provides you with helpful advice on the choice of teas among the 80 on the map. From all over the world, the range is wide - black, green, white, oolong, smoked, dark, biological… - Some suggestions: the scented organic organic Thé-Orange thé tea, served and its mango-lemon sherbet sherbet enjoy on the terrace; The scented Clafoutis Clafoutis with the cherry accompanied by a muffin to the bilberries made bilberries or even hot chocolate with cinnamon which is a pure wonder. A "set" formula offers you to taste 3 teas of the same theme and thus discover the specificities of each. The teas served in the room are available for sale for the delight of your taste buds or those of your loved ones.

A very stylishly decorated decoration, signed by Elisabeth de Portzamparc, wife of Christian, the author architect of the Cité de la Musique.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

A great classic of the St. Martin Canal.

A very cosy underground lounge that also wants gay friendly. The tone is given by the red lights, the lacquered bar and the grey cloth stretched on the walls, it is class with a small clandé side of the s. We don't come here to celebrate, but rather to drink a glass in mind on a musical background trend jazzy. The location is very friendly, even if the tranquillity is set, is also perfect for meetings. We appreciate the professional and dynamic team of the place.

La Promenade Lounge is a cocktail bar located in the Halles district of Paris. It offers a cosy, subdued atmosphere, ideal for enjoying delicious cocktails. The armchairs are comfortable and the atmosphere pleasant. Prices are right for the neighborhood. Customers particularly recommend the cocktails, which are apparently very good and affordable. Certain dishes are also popular, such as the Salade Nordique and the Grilled Salmon. The Promenade Lounge also offers a buffet brunch with plenty of choice.

Born from a Franco-American concept, this bar, with its stylish lounge and décor, offers everything that a cocktail-restaurant bar can offer.

Young gay and lesbian young, but open to all, the place is very noisy, Spanish, perched inside, living on the terrace - difficult that it is otherwise given the central location - which is larger than the interior (and heated in winter). Cocktails are especially good, the happy hour is appreciated, the service is nice and some boards allow you to fill your belly. An institution since 1995, which is expected to know some renovations soon.

Small terrace from the arrival of the sun. Ludo and its entire team have transformed Lax into a gay, lesbian and hetero friendly bar.

Rear room with cabins, backroom, video screen. One of the first gay bars opened in Paris - in 1979 - in the north of Paris, far beyond the Marais. Mustache coffee resists willingly. Customers are mostly seasoned, fans of teddy bears, olds, or even much more.

Gay friendly. On 3 levels, in the middle of this colourful street filled with sex shop, a place totally in limbo, very cosy. It's first a bar on the ground floor, where you can spend some time with live or electro music (with DJ some evenings), an original cocktail card, champagne pools, hot or cold tapas. In the basement, at the programming, another bar dedicated to evenings or tea dance. The first one is a very sober Franco-Thai restaurant with seats.

For those who are in this cosmopolitan neighbourhood, a red café, outside the usual circuit. Music programming from a. m. to p. m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, artist exposure on the first floor.

The first bar lesbian created by Josy in 1979, in rue Sainte-Anne, the address is both a bar of girls and district, where everyone is welcomed and respected - boys and heterosexuals. The place is outside the fashion, a tad old-fashioned thus, and it is therefore very well. It is an authentic bar, which has a soul, where you can speak, a reception which is lost more and more. Josy is the only one to know, because it recuerda everyone. We always come back, "Josy Mom" is still there and helps to banderas the sores. A figure... Exhibitions of paintings and photos every month, clairvoyance-tarot- astrology Tuesday, artists and singers Thursday and every Saturday evening from 22:00. The clientele is of middle age.

90% of girls - used as foreigners as foreigners - only boys are not necessarily welcome, unless they are sensible and sensitive. A moderately warm atmosphere therefore, but on the occasion of a game of billiards, the atmosphere can warm and meet.

Traditional kitchen, daily dishes, salted pies and salads. The ideal snack or snack break after a barbecue shopping at Leroy-Merlin or a canvas at MK 2 Beaubourg. At lunchtime, the Snax is frequented mainly for its catering by office guests, the afternoon for a drink or coffee among friends on the terrace. Large black and white photos from New York or Berlin enhance the décor.

In the heart of the Marais, opposite the Point-semicolon, the highly bird is an ideal spot for seeing the beautiful boys of the Marais. Even if the area does not have a terrace, the bay opens to the aperitif in the beautiful days, giving a beautiful opening on the outside. Everything was renovated in 2009 to make it a cozy place, in blue and black, the vaulted basement was built to make it a place where sometimes play DJs on weekends. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the staff were friendly and helpful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We also come here for the COMING. Not at all what you think, these are cocktails served in huge glasses, for the greedy or to share. Happy hour from 17 am to 20 pm.

Opened in the autumn of 2010, this cosy bar and lounge set in a quiet street, but very close to the hustle and bustle of the district, is ideal for an intimate head at the beginning of the evening, in an elegant neo-baroque setting. Which is symbolized by its comfortable red velvet armchairs. On a Friday on two DJ and Vj's evenings: mix pictures on his electro house.

It is not at all a gay bar, but its location, at the end of Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie street, makes this bar the ideal spot to mater the little loulous that casually are in the corner, but also to be seen!

Old butchery - the window has remained - we feel the coldness of refrigerators, formerly in the basement. The terrace is very spacious, pleasant in summer (heated winter), at the corner of the lively Lombards street in the evening. The atmosphere is mixed hetero-homo, rather young. Happy hour daily from 17 am to 21 pm from 18 pm on Friday and Saturday. Large selection of cocktails at 8 € and 9 €.

The Akhénaton is no longer, the Pure Bar Titi's bar! Several months of work to move from one of the oldest gay bars in the neighbourhood to a cosy place, the refined garden (or pure). Stéphane and Titi (ex-Boy, Palace and Queen) at the bar, so you won't be able to get ill from the top of his 22 years of age. Little more to drink: the Corsican pork plate (6 €). As for the toilets, they are really to visit the Star Trek.

Renewal for Girls: the old and famous Bliss Cafe is reborn from its ashes, at least by the atmosphere that has made its fame. The guest is young, the atmosphere is buzzing, especially the weekend nights where a DJ puts fire. Thursday and Friday: themed evenings every 2 weeks on Thursday: live with atypical sounds (lounge, jazz, blues, African, etc.). Artists comics regularly on Wednesdays. Restoration. No bigotry at Marie Rachel Cécile Mag and Isa, just a nice attitude required.

This wine-tasting bar (but not only) is an amazing lesbian spot for drinks or a start to a Paris by night.

Ze Baar, which goes with Ze Restoo - this is the same direction - proposes two atmospheres: on the ground floor, behind a glass bay that completely the summer, a rather hollywood atmosphere, with movie posters on the ceiling, very user-friendly despite the narrowness, with a jukeboxes video box of last generation (more than 4 000 titles). Very often full by drink, with a lot of regulars and always new heads. On the first floor, protected from the noise on the ground floor with a glass cage, a small cosy bar with modern decoration, which opens a little later, and which allows you to enjoy a drink in the closed, and even a dinner of the dishes of Ze Restoo, located next door. In addition, the glasses are cheaper than in the bars around and the reception is impeccable.

Gay friendly bar located at the bottom of a courtyard, on 4 levels. Watch the program on the website or on Facebook. Excellent location. Many evenings are organised regularly with very sharp themes.

The bar of DJ DJ, the famous DJ of Follivores and Crazyvores. The decoration, based on white and Plexiglas, is necessarily enhanced with vinyl discs. Side of the house, a beautiful eclecticism, with gays, lesbians, hetero, many of the regulars of the place. We quickly come to discuss with strangers, without ulterior thought (rare in the Parisian LGBT milieu). Evenings are organised, regular or not, to the image of the Wednesday's blind test (20 h to 22 h), which became an institution. Pre-sales from Friday to Follivores and Crazyvores evenings on Saturday (practice not to toe the Messing, see «Regular Evenings»). The place is frequented by a drink and between 23 h and closure.

It's impossible to get an appointment closer to the stadium. To prepare the match, celebrate victory or explain defeat, it is here that starts with the fans of Stade Français.

If you feel like having a karaoke session like no other, go to the Singing Studio. Inspired by a concept coming from the trendy Upper East Side neighborhoods in New York, Singing Studio first settled in Lille before moving to Paris. Unlike the classic karaoke bars, you will be able to give voice to your favourite songs in real private studios equipped with the latest sound and video equipment. And they are all perfectly soundproofed and air-conditioned! Once your singing session is over, you can recover from your emotions with a good cocktail in the superb design-style lounge. The right plan for an outing with friends!

A new destiny for this vast 1,000 m² venue just off the Grands Boulevards: Brique Machine! The dynamic team, which already has establishments in the provinces, has taken over this colourful venue, which can accommodate 300 people. Following the taproom principle to the letter, you'll find beers brewed on-site (many with unique flavours) and a menu of small dishes to nibble on or share with friends (the preferred option here). In the evening, the atmosphere is festive as hell.

This brewery is made by or for beer lovers. Behind the counter, no less than 15 draught beers, including one made on site. Of course, here we rely on advice, and the team will not lack enthusiasm or good ideas to share these delicious beverages with you. The place is wooded, warm and the greenery on the ceiling does not take anything away from this atmosphere, around a bar in an arc of a circle. The LBF - its nickname - also offers beer breweries to come and take over the bar for a specific period of time, a bit like when a DJcomes for a set. And then you can accompany your moment here with some nice things to snack on. Very good point.

Café Grévin is a French restaurant located in the Musée Grévin, at 8 Boulevard Montmartre in Paris. Decorated in a Venetian style with masks and red velvet, it offers traditional French cuisine. Chef Guillaume Duciel presents a wide range of seasonal specialties. The café also has a terrace where you can enjoy a coffee, a drink or a snack and take in the lively atmosphere of the Grands Boulevards. For private events, the Café Grévin has a private room for birthdays or corporate functions. The Café Grévin is open every day, with different opening times depending on the day of the week.

Going back 4 decades, to the 80s, that's the whole concept of "Ces années-là". Here's a brand-new party venue opening right next to the Pantheon. Here, the walls are lined with vinyl sleeves from the era: sing along (karaoke is very popular), and party with friends, notably in this pretty space available to the public in the basement, which can be entirely privatized. And don't forget to grab a bite to eat before the festivities, with a choice of planks, sweet and savoury crêpes and more. The kind of address we love!

Here's a café and traveller's room that's bound to make you nostalgic for bygone days: an old-fashioned address run by Thierry, an Aveyronnais from Espalion. No superfluous comforts in this travellers' hotel, which has retained its original character and period tapestries, while offering unbeatable prices. A warm welcome, reminiscent of the galleys of yesteryear: this really is an authentic address, an old-fashioned bar with a whiff of the North, a sip of beer, an omelette, a portion of French fries, salads or sandwiches...

Le Supercoin is a bistro that sells traditional beer, served by draught or bottle, to drink on site in a rock atmosphere. Beers can be found from all over France, with a clear preference for the Ile-de-France region. Some whiskies are also part of the party...

A nice stopover, born of the imagination of two friends, Marie Genet and Clémentine Touton, and which works so well that it has a second establishment in the 17th. The principle: a place thought like a little cocoon, in which you feel good immediately. Light colours and wood are the main materials used, and it is indeed very successful. You come here to eat good, healthy food, but also to have a fresh fruit juice (because here you say - and you are - healthy). You can also enjoy a Spritz cocktail that you can take in summer on the bench on the pavement. It's not wide, but it's a great idea.

This bar is one of the best-known in the area, widely renowned for its ambience, so it attracts a hybrid clientele who sometimes come from far and wide. Whether you need a connection or a pint, the Sputnik will give you a warm welcome. Gamers will also appreciate the foosball table and the beer pong table (on request). And if you want to immortalize your evening, you can even take a self-portrait in the venue's photo booth. In short, you're sure to have a great time here.

Tiger Paris offers no less than 100 gins in 13 signature cocktails, and 1,040 combinations of gins and tonics! No one in the capital seems able to do better! In this magnificent setting, come - preferably with friends - to spend some time in a great atmosphere, with a team who know their beverages inside out, and who will be able to advise you in the best possible way. If your appetite is whetted, some tapas are also available.
