![Augustin Marchand d’Vins, a wine bar in 6th arr, Paris, France.]()
Phone: +33 981 217 621
Address: 26 Rue des Grands Augustins, Paris
A stone’s throw from Place Saint-Michel, a cave à manger with speakeasy allure, run by the irrepressible “Augustin,” distinguished writer and self-proclaimed Italophile, who tends his cellar and counter the way one once held court: with passion, gluttony, and a keen sense of conversation. Beyond the French and transalpine marvels lined up on the shelves is a cellar without a set list, teeming with razor-sharp references, often in limited editions (justifying a similarly limited number of seats), accompanying small and larger plates that never skimp on the nobility of the product – among the...

![Juveniles, a wine bar in 1st arr, Paris, France.]()
Phone: +33 142 974 649
Address: 47 Rue de Richelieu, Paris
An institution on Rue de Richelieu, and arguably the finest unapologetically British address in the capital, Juveniles was founded by Tim Johnston, a towering figure in the Paris wine world. His daughter now carries the spirit of the place, alongside chef Romain Roudeau, with the same enthusiasm and the same instinct, offering a kitchen with delightful British accents – haddock croquettes and lamb with mint sit alongside a delicious house-made foie gras – and a wine list bristling with references ranging from Alsace to Bordeaux by way of Champagne, Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, even pushing t...

In the 11th arrondissement, À la Renaissance is the neighbourhood wine bar of one’s dreams: lively, unpretentious, with a list steered by Samuel Jacq, a sommelier who is practically part of the furniture, blending fine labels (including a prized allocation from a sought-after domaine in Tavel) with thirst-quenching cuvées with unerring flair. While the food long lagged behind the cellar, the recent takeover by the duo of Carina Soto Velásquez and Joshua Fontaine, already at the helm of Le Mary Céleste and Candelaria, has lifted the food offering – with its starter buffet, bistro mains and Sun...
