If that waitress Laura is the one taking care of you, you’re getting lazy recommendations sadly, she tried to push us to buy a bottle instead of just suggesting another choice of wine… Thankfully her colleague fixed it but terrible service on her end Otherwise decent place
Very interesting natural wine bar with many varieties to try from 🍷 Matthieu is super knowledgeable and passionate about the wine, and each recommendation seemed better than the last one! The decor of the bar is tasteful, and the space feels curated and stylish while maintaining a natural and unpretentious ambience. Hiighly recommend a visit! 💯
We were staying very close to this place and ended up coming here almost every day. The sommelier was absolutely amazing, and super knowledgeable. If you’re around the area this should absolutely be on your list.
My favorite place in Paris!! Perfect for a romantic date or a fun night with friends. Amazing food, unforgettable wines, affordable prices. And a special shout-out to the owner for the cozy, at-home vibe
Hands-down my favorite wine bar in Paris. The natural wines are incredible, the food is delicious, and the service is knowledgeable and friendly. (Also everyone speaks English, which I’m grateful for, since I’m still learning French!) The interior is cozy and stylish, with exquisite design elements, and on a warm day in Paris there’s nowhere I’d rather be than on the boat. Honestly La Cale is my Hinge first date spot, because it’s feels safe, warm, intimate, sexy, and reasonably priced.
