Biotiful
Bar, Bistro, Cocktail Bar, Japanese
Located in the very heart of Batignolles, this trendy bar will not disappoint. A friendly ambiance greets you at the door with decor that is between vintage and edgy simplicity. Their main theme? This place bounces between a tapas bar, a wine bistro and a cocktail bar. Biotiful (a play on words inspired by their location on rue Biot) offers a menu that is out of the ordinary, thanks to the Japanese chef. Their food is accompanied by the large selection of wines. The cocktail specialist and mixologist, Marco Caldone, will guide you through cocktail hour.

The food is simple and varied: burgers, tartares, salads, and the classically French planche de fromage et charcuterie. You will soon make 3PC your regular haunt.

Les Caves Populaires
Bar, French
This is your heart-warming, weekly escape par excellence. All the locals know this bar, making it one of the more crowded locations in Batignolles.

Both are plentiful and delicious.
