The 100 Best Wine Bars in France

Sections

Tap another section to add it. All sections

The best wine bars in France, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide, Le Fooding, and The Infatuation have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Ressources comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Paris.

OBBO and Olga hold the next two places. Le Fooding shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with The Infatuation next.

  1. The menu is eight small plates, mix and match as you like, four or five making a meal. That's the whole premise at this Michelin-starred modern restaurant on rue Fondaudège, where the chef quietly dismantles fine-dining formality without making a fuss about it. The cooking is precise and unfussy, the wine list runs past 700 labels from big names to tiny producers, and the sommeliers clearly find talking about young winemakers more interesting than upselling you.

  2. Rank 2. OBBO

    Wine Bar

    A restaurant-wine bar from the former pastry chef at Alexandre Couillon's kitchen, where the Michelin Bib Gourmand feels right at home. The room leans casual, the wine list runs to around 200 bottles, and the cooking has a way of making sauces do the interesting work. Evenings shift toward sharing plates, which suits the general mood. The kind of place where the dessert reminds you the chef has a pastry background, and you're glad someone mentioned it.

  3. Rank 3. Olga

    Wine Bar

    Olga is a cheese shop and wine bar across from Gare de Lyon, built for people who would rather eat well than eat a sad train sandwich. The sandwiches are baguette, cheese, and one spread, with no lettuce to apologize for. Think Bleu d'Auvergne with pickled cherries, or sheep's milk tomme with membrillo. A glass of natural wine and a sunny sidewalk table make the 12th feel like a vacation you didn't have to book.


  4. This is the roomier branch of the Avant-Comptoir small-plates-and-wine bars, the one with actual chairs, which feels almost decadent after its standing-room siblings near Odeon. The tapas and pours come at snack prices, and the bartender runs the place with the patience of a man holding a train schedule, so decide what you want before you open your mouth. A bowl of whipped tarama with a slab of seeded bread suits a post-stroll lull in Saint-Germain.

  8. Aux Deux Amis is a loud, crowded wine bar on Oberkampf where the yellow formica tables carry the stains of every glass poured before yours. Come at night and you'll refill so often that you'll announce on your socials you're moving to Paris. Lunch is calmer and brings a cheap prix fixe, though the ashtrays outside overflow either way. Nobody fusses over you here, and the wine does the talking.


  9. The name translates to "corner café," and Paris has about ten thousand of those, but the chalkboard menu here changes daily and the kitchen takes it seriously. This all-day café in the bobo 11th turns out dishes like pizzettes and caillette alongside the usual rounds of coffee, at prices that don't require a moment's hesitation. The crowd is neighborhood-loyal in the way that makes you slightly envious of anyone who lives nearby.


  10. Rank 11. Trouble

    Wine Bar

    Trouble is a natural wine bar in the 9th where the kitchen has bigger ambitions than the wine list, which is saying something. Expect oysters paired with calf's caul, tempura green beans on taramasalata, and a sandwich that turns vitello tonnato into a cheesesteak. They don't take reservations, so people line up when the doors open at 5pm for terrace seats, though the dining room has an open kitchen to watch.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
