Natural wine bar featuring rotating global guest chefs and small plates
"Co-owned by Camille Machet, known for changing the Paris wine scene with exceptional service." - Caitlin Gunther
"Early June’s rotating kitchen hosts guest chefs from all over the world who showcase flavors from the Amalfi Coast, Seoul, and Chicago, to name a few. The exceptional selection of natural wines is the constant. This spot off the Canal Saint-Martin is a minimalist’s dream with white walls and long wooden tables, and it’s small, so you’ll definitely overhear your neighbor’s conversations while you linger over trout ceviche, stuffed gnocchi, or a seared duck breast. Arrive right at 6pm if your party is less than four, or be prepared to wait for a table (they take online reservations for large groups)." - sara lieberman, tanisha townsend

"A wine bar that treats its food with equal seriousness, hosting rotating guest chefs who bring globally inspired small plates—on one visit, squid noodles with kimchi butter and crisp rice cakes dressed in brown‑butter gochujang and comté. The constant is a tight list of natural wines, rustic farmhouse tables, hanging shelves of bottles and plants, and a walk‑in policy (except for large groups) that makes lingering over a juicy glass part of the appeal." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors
"A sought-after establishment that makes it explicit diners have about two hours at the table before needing to leave for the next seating, so reserve with the timing and pace of your meal in mind." - Catherine Down
