A favorite among Marais locals for its low-key vibe and rustic aesthetic, this cobbler shop-turned-wine bar was opened in 2016 by a mother-son duo. You’ll find classic French bites like radis au beurre and marinated artichokes on family-style platters by the open kitchenette. Wines by the glass change daily based on the whim of the sommelier, and are all-natural and mostly French. Or grab a bottle from the cave by the same name across the street and ask to open it for a small corkage fee.

Located on the edge of Bellville, this narrow bottle shop doubles as a wine bar with great small plates. The more intimate sister of Chambre Noir just down the street, its shelves are packed with many of the same great bottles, affordably priced. Groups are often seen overflowing from the small space onto the street lined with bistro-style tables. Stop in before heading to dinner across the street at Bouche.

At one of Paris’ original natural wine bars, legendary owner Camille can still be found pouring wines for patrons and friends.

Located in the heart of Oberkampf, this somewhat culty ice cream and wine bar attracts a crowd, so expect to wait in line. But it’s worth it!

The wine menu is less descriptive, but let their team know what you like and they’ll help you find the perfect glass.

Serving artisanally crafted beverages from across Europe, they pour a great range of wines as well as of beers and ciders.

A great place to stop in before or after dinner in the neighborhood.

A rare Left Bank gem, this cozy wine bar on the far edge of the 5th arr. is a neighborhood hub for families and couples looking for a casual drink. The wines are mostly biodynamic and regional.

You can grab one to stay or to go, but if you’re sticking around, we recommend the terrine de canard made in-house.

Located on the edge of Île Saint Louis, it’s hard to miss this decades-old wine bar, with its sky-blue facade and name marked in bold block lettering. Walking into the space feels like stepping into someone’s private cellar: walls are collaged with faded prints, and shelves are lined with empty bottles collecting dust. Ask the owner for his recommendations–the wines are all natural and organic–or schedule a tasting ahead, which you can reserve for 50€ a person via email.
