The Paris wine bar scene is being reinvented.
This is a little wine shop proximate to the Louvre. Have some sardines, pork terrine, or andouille sausage and ask for their wines from Domaine dela Grange des Peres.
Back in 2004, William Abitbol lost his bid to seek a seat at the European Parliament so he focused his attention on business. Just across the lovely gardens of the Palais Royal, he established Alfred. He serves wines made by his friends who are also deviating from their usual careers. For example, you can get a good bottle of Provencal rose L’apostrophe which is a sweet blend of Carignane, Grenache, and Cinsault.
Abitbol personally oversees the operations and makes sure that excellent French cuisines are served without pretentions. Imagine getting a plate of lentil salad tossed with hazelnut oil and sherry vinegar. Or maybe enjoy a warm broth of baby artichokes. The white linen upstairs bears witness to heavenly servings of beef served earthy potatoes and celery.
The name of the game at this wine bar is using the freshest of the freshest ingredients. They are also obsessed with great bottles of wine coming from hundreds of cellars in France. You will find Les Fines Gueules close to the Place des Victoires. Ask them for a good sparkling wine to start your dining experience, some cod with veggies, and a good blend to cap it off.
Franck Lesage cuts some jambon from the bone and serves Macon, Chinon, and Chiroubles in the neighborhood of Les Halles.
If you are passing by the Place du Trocadero, make sure you drop by at the Cavesteve. It is a place of great food and wine. You can choose from around three hundred labels of wine which come from France, California, New Zealand, and Chile. They have a biased of going for wines from small producers. Ask for their Spanish sausages and their pound cakes.
Sit down for a sandwich and a glass of new Lyonnais wine.
Au Sauvignon offers bottles of Sauvignon Blanc coming from the Loire Valley. Order some tartines to complete your day.
The owner of this wine bar, Pierre Jancou, is hands on when it comes to preparing food and pouring a good wine into the diner’s glass. Racines offers bottles from several wine producers in the region. You will find this exciting place amid the shopping arcade. They prepare some wonderful dishes using extraordinary local ingredients.
