1. 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.

For an apéro with friends or an improvised dinner around a few bottles of wine in a very laid-back, welcoming atmosphere, the 3PC is parfait. With a simple yet eclectic decoration, this place is appealing, friendly and affordable. This is your typical go-to when looking for something accessible and not too fancy. 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.

3. Les Paresseux

Bar, Restaurant, Wine Bar, Mediterranean

This quaint, tiny cave à vins is a true hidden gem. Somewhere between restaurant, wine bar and tapas bar, Les Paresseux is one of the best addresses in the neighborhood for a laid-back dinner à deux or with friends. With an exquisite selection of homemade Mediterranean delicacies, every dish on the menu screams delicieaux; while guaranteeing the best quality ingredients from small local farms.

5. 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. For this reason, we do recommend you go early because around apéro time(happy hour), it can be difficult to find a seat. Their wine and planches mixtes are most notable. Both are plentiful and delicious.
