Highly recommended by friends been coming here for years…read more The l'emblématique poulet fermier rôti, accompagné de ses frites maison is a must. Fresh ingredients, simple homemade dish from the original secret recipes. The Lavazza coffee is also one of the best I've had in a while. Spectacular wines as well. They open at noon. I came on a Saturday around 12:20pm and there was already a line though they do take reservations. The owners are extremely friendly and make sure you feel like home.

Loved this wine bar that we found while walking around in Paris one evening.

We only stayed for a glass of wine, as we had dinner reservations. But would love to come back on my next trip to Paris and spend an evening here with friends.

This place is so cool! I met up with some friends in Paris…read moreand one of them organised for a bigger group of us to meet here for food, wine and good times - and that's exactly what we had! The booking was originally for 15 people so they had a few high tables in the middle of the place reserved for us, I was immediately struck by the cool ambience of the place - it's very classy and also feels totally Parisian! Of course we had to get some wine and the guy behind the bar let us taste them before we decided if we wanted them or not! I was easily pleased (my wine was pink, that's all I need) but my friends got to try a few different reds before picking a bottle. The staff were really friendly and helpful, as well as being extremely knowledgable about the wines, of course! We also ordered a planche mixte which comprises of charcuterie and cheese, and all of it was totally excellent! There was some smoked ham, salami, three different types of cheese, cherry tomatoes and cornichons, as well as honey to have with the softer one of the cheeses and we scoffed the lot. There was also copious amounts of bread - when we asked for more we were quickly brought some which was brilliant, I like it when places appreciate how important bread is! There ended up being probably at least 20 of us because a few people showed up by surprise, and the staff were again very accommodating about this - bringing extra chairs and still managing to be very attentive despite how many of us there were! It was a great night and L'Ivress is definitely somewhere I'd like to come back to when I'm back in Paris - at €4 for my glass of wine and €25 for the planche it was pretty reasonable too, especially for Paris!

Came here with my friends and got to experience both the roof and the room downstairs (after it started raining). The inside has an eclectic mix of lamps hanging from the ceiling and a super cool vibe. It seemed like a lot of locals hang out here based on the language everyone was speaking. The bartender was super nice too and of course responded in English when I tried to order in French. Great charcuterie, too. This place is a MUST when you come to Paris!

Ordered mojito for 20 euros, water for 12 euros, and bourbon cocktail for 32 euros. The drinks were terrible. Do not recommend. Also, you can smell all the cigarettes even if you sit inside. Did not feel very upscale here.

This is a review of Point Ephemere just as a bar/cafe…read more Point Ephemere is also an important rock club - a major player on the French music scene. Judging how good the bands are and how good this is as a place to listen to live music is a job for other reviewers and not me. Music clubs however don't make their money off of admission tickets to live shows. They make their money selling drinks and food. So the club stays open all day and the nights where no acts are scheduled to keep that all important drink money coming in. All signs are that from an economic standpoint, Point Ephemere is in good shape. The place is packed with young people and they are drinking up a storm. * * * Point Ephemere is located in the old Usine Ephemere. It is basically in an abandoned factory. Batman villains build headquarters in abandoned warehouses. Rock clubs locate in abandoned factories. It is on the Canal Saint Martin. The Canal Saint Martin used to be poor, industrial and down-at-heel. It is now yuppifying and cute with urban redevelopment occurring on all sides. Significantly, the canal attracts vast hordes of young people who hang out all day on the side of the canal, picnicking and having fun. The picnickers drop off somewhat by the time you get to Point Ephemere - But Point Ephemere caters to this college age clientele. The bar inside has lots of drinking space - some semi-outdoor facing the canal, and some just inside. It intentionally cultivates a look of Seattle style grunge. The rooms facing the canal have thick plastic sheets for windows and that is an intentional artistic choice. Bathrooms are ... well ... The drink menu runs towards college age rotgut. The main beer that everyone was having (including me) was Grolsch. Grolsch is get-you-drunk swill. Prices are DEFINITELY on the low side which is one of positives that pulls people through the door. * * * As a hangout and a drinking place, I was very much less than impressed. But you know .. All of that can become irrelevant if the band of your dreams is playing in the next room. In Austin, where I live, the Hotel Vegas is a dryrot infested slum. But they have enough room for four bands at a time. At least one of them is going to be really solid. So never judge a rock club by the quality of the real estate. Judging a drinking place by the quality of the real estate? Go for it.

This place was a bit hard to find. Don't go by the Yelp map (it's waaay off). The address is…read morecorrect though, so just look it up on Google Maps. It took us an additional 15 mins to walk to from where Yelp map pinned the location. But it was so worth it. You're RIGHT by the canal. Pretty much all locals. Young hip crowd, but not overly hip. Friendly waiters/waitresses who can speak English. Food was alright, huge portions, and the cheeseburger was pretty good. You're not really here for the food anyways, it's the whole laid-back atmosphere, the outdoor dining, the awesome location, the graffiti all around, and music drifting from a dancefloor DJed by a mustached hipster, that makes this place an unforgettable experience.

This was a chill bar in Pigalle with nice Happy Hour specials...always a plus! They actually had…read moregood beers on tap for their happy hour specials. The place was relatively small but very imaginative. It was themed in perfect character of the neighborhood (full of hookers, sex shops, and strip clubs, etc.) complete with a pole, for your friends that get a little lose after a few drinks and as many scarlet color accents to get you in a maudlin mood for the night. We stuck to beers as we really had no intention on stopping to drink at all but we wanted to rest our feet for a few moments and the happy hour sign pulled us in. I should have tried a few cocktails as the bartenders looked like seasoned veterans across the bar concocting drinks like mad scientist. They made many of the ingredients themselves and I just wish I could have tasted some of everything. Needless to say, I'll pop back into this place the next time I'm in the neighborhood, as I do rather enjoy the place.

Would def come back here again. After this place we went to Lulu White across the street and was disappointed with that place and wish we stayed here.
