There are many good cellar/restaurants in Paris but few great ones. Le Chat Ivre is one of those…read moregems. Hidden in an angle street of rue de la roquette, this place has a dozen wooden tables and benches. It is fully decorated by its wine bottles so you know what you step into. The owners are extremely friendly and passionate about the wines they serve, which they know perfectly. They go mostly for organic wines and have a preference for Languedoc reds which they find have a better quality/price ratio. There are a few wines from the other regions as well. In total, you'll find probably 50-80 wines on the menu, all deliberately chosen by the owner who will be happy to talk about them. This place is a mix between a wine shop and a restaurant: you can buy the bottles to go or drink it in the restaurant for an additional premium (6 or 8 euros, can't remember). The food is simple but good: charcuterie or cheese plates to share, some grilled meat or fish. Try the calamari and the burrata as appetizers, they're pretty good. All in all, you spend a great time in this place: you discover new wines and you eat some good food. This is a great place to bring a group of friends!

In Paris and looking for a local french kitchen, and not a typical tourist trap? I think it's…read moreeverybody's dream to find the perfect french restaurant. Then this is the place you should visit. It's situated in the hills in the northern part of Paris, Montmartre. This is not the most fancy place, but it's the little and cosy place, with tiny tight tables, all run by (what seemed to be) a french family. Nobody here speak english, the waiters only english word throughout the visit was: "water". My terrible french didn't make things better. Luckily one of the costumers knew some words, and could explain us the dishes on the meny. The meny here doesn't consist of 127 different dishes, just 4 startes, 4 main courses and 4 dessert. All which changes every day. The food was french ans simple, so was the prices. The dishes was stripped from all the decorations, just plain food tasting delicious. Around us sat local frenchmen drinking wine and talking eagerly. This was by far the best restaurant experience we had i Paris, because it was so french. It's definitely worth a visit!

(None of the staff speaks English either, FYI, though the waiter was friendly and patient with my lame French.) The menu is limited and changes daily. We had excellent pâté and terrine to start, both very rich and best to split among several diners. Entrees were good, not great. A veal dish was good but plain. Same with my wife's fish. But that is the style here: simple, traditional, authentic, affordable, un-fancy French cooking, on sidewalk tables crowded with local Parisians.

My 500th review, dedicated to Bubar... This bar is magical…read more There's just something about this spot where you know so much has happened within these 4 walls over years and years. I fell in love with it a couple of weeks ago during my first trip to Paris, where I ended up visiting it not once but twice. It's a dive wine bar, but with so much character, in every nook and cranny. I had read reviews on both TripAdvisor and Yelp, albeit dated. There is no name listed on doorway so could be hard to miss, but something about the red lighting and energy just drew me in. (That and some trusty reviews online...) The first night was a little intimidating at first. A group of older gentlemen, all friends and all seemed to know the owner, were deep into conversation at the bar. However, as soon as I walked in, solo, that very owner, Jean-Loup (he made sure I captured the correct spelling, vs. some renditions in other reviews ;)) warmly greeted and welcomed me. From there on, it was bliss. For me personally it was a pivotal moment because just a few days prior to that, I was still a bit fearful about exploring the city solo with very little grasp of French, but that night, I felt brave and wandered by Bubar. So glad I did. Jean-Loup not only nailed a few wines for me that were all sheer perfection (there's a daunting list but disregard that and just tell him what you're in the mood for because he'll find something spot-on), but offered a small plate of nibbles, after asking if I preferred 'fruits or vegetables'...a sweet, personal touch. I enjoyed a wonderful night just respectfully observing his interactions with his buddies (clearly he is very adored here, and a local staple,) while he checked in on me regularly to ensure I was doing fine. Such an amazing evening. The following night I had to stop by again just to say goodbye. I simply won't be forgetting Jean-Loup and Bubar anytime soon. For anyone reading this who will be venturing into the bar, he mentioned he is not the most tech-savvy but was happy to hear he has so many positive reviews, and that I wanted to write a review (as the last one was from a year ago)...please let him know "Jennifer from Los Angeles" said hello, and mention this review. :) He's the absolute best.

We came here for lunch and my friend ordered for us. He got a bloody steak and he ordered sheep intestines for me which was kind of disgusting to be honest. I don't know if I'd come back here or recommend it to others. I feel like there's better French restaurants you can try.

Our favorite spot in Paris so far!…read more This intimate restaurant is packed with charm, good food, wine, and yes, people. Not another foreigner to be found, definitely worth getting away from the tourist traps on the Champs Elysées. A lively and lovely atmosphere all around, and we adored every minute of it. Incredible price for the quality, perfect quantity for our group, and by far the friendliest and most personable service we've found in this country so far. Our server's English was good, and he did a wonderful job addressing our varying French levels. We ordered housemade foie gras (5/5, the best our table has ever had), terrine (4/5), cappuccino (5/5, actually a rich chestnut soup with white truffle foam), ravioles (5/5, best pasta dish I've had in ages), linguine with shrimp (4/5, good but a little plain), cheesecake with salted caramel (4.5/5), croustillant (4.5/5), and Mont Blanc (4.5/5). Overall we felt that the savory courses were stronger than the sweets, but they are still worth checking out. The wine list was solid, we ended up splitting a bottle of Pouilly-Fuissé that complemented each stage of the meal surprisingly well. Our wonderful server even gave us free chartreuse as a digestif! So glad I booked this on La Fourchette (French version of Yelp, highly recommended), because some of the ratings here would have deterred me. Can't wait to come back! I mean, I really can't wait. I might have to make time for this tomorrow, it would be a great last meal in Paris!
