Bar Principal - Review - 11th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"This casual, drink-focused cave à manger from the Brutos team has a similar crowd to what you’ll find at the restaurant next door: families with young kids when they open at 5pm (depending on the day), and chain-smoking twenty-somethings later in the evening, all chatting at tiny round cabaret tables on the sidewalk. The menu has things like the tapioca cheeseballs that were a hit at Brutos, and buttery but crispy gnocchi with peas and pesto. And while the wine list is predominantly French, there are a few international hits on it as well, like a €39 liter of grüner from the Czech Republic that goes down like water." - Sara Lieberman
