Wow. This cheese and wine bar is amazing. A beautifully quaint and perfectly Paris neighborhood…read morespot. We stopped in on an evening and Formaticus had an easy vibe with its cozy space and dimly lit interior. We ordered a cheese and charcuterie board, my favorite was a soft rind brie that we, literally, just dug and dipped our bread into. Simple, delicious -- you can't go wrong with any of the cheeses you order. Great selection of wines and I also recommend the truffle honey (which can be purchased separately).

Formaticus was fairly close to our AirBnb during our stay in Paris, so we decided to go in one day…read morefor lunch before heading out to the museums. We were a group of 4, and we split the 16 cheese option, as well as the charcuterie plate. We loved everything! Our waiter spoke enough English to tell us about everything he was serving us, though we would have been happy even without the explanation. This is a great option for a meal in Paris if you're just looking for something simple that is also delicious. Definitely a great find!

Amazing location, amazing people, amazing wine. Probably the best new place I went to on this trip…read more We did a wine tour and also ate. I wanted to buy a bunch of wine but never heard back, but I would for sure go back here just to drink. Food was great, wine was incredibly. Everyone we spoke to was knowledgeable and just enthusiastic for us to be there. Wine list is the thing of dreams.

This place is the best wine bar I've ever been to in my life! I'm not even exaggerating. Amazing…read moreselection, fair prices and friendly staff. Can't ask for more than that. Oh, and the whiskey by the glass selection is more than impressive. It ranges from premium bourbons to independently bottled single malts and even a few rare double-malts (that are really worth giving a shot). The food is also extremely fresh and you can tell that the owners take pride in that. My kind of establishment. I'll be back there tomorrow and whenever I come to Paris. Please don't make the mistake of passing by this place without giving them a good ole try. You won't be disappointed and the tab won't run too high!

I rarely write poor reviews, however, the service at this place deserves it. The place is very busy…read morewith outdoor seating, but because I don't like the smell of cigarette smoke, I chose a table inside. The time was 7:30 pm and I asked the bartender for a hibiscus tonic water. He spoke French and pointed to the waiter at the computer and basically said it would only take a minute for the waiter to take my order. So I sat down and waited about 10 minutes with no service. So I got up and told the guy at the computer that I wanted two tonic waters and pointed to the bottle on the bar. I sat down and another waiter approached me and said he didn't understand my order. He also spoke French and pointed out that it was just me. He asked if someone else was joining me. I pointed to my dog who was on the floor and said she doesn't drink much. He asked me, if there's only one of you why do you want two drinks? (Clue: I'm thirsty from walking around the neighborhood). He got upset and asked if I spoke French and I replied,"une peu" -- a little. He really tried to embarrass me but he didn't succeed. So he tells me I'm not going to take your order. I walked out after not getting any service from this j&rk!

My son and I had to climb over chairs and were bunched up by the wall. There were plentiful tables the entire duration of our meal. We had a pasta dish, chicken curry and scallops.
