CRAVAN Paris 16e

The 24 Best Bars in Paris

"There's no wine or beer here, so prepare to be spoiled for choice in the cocktail department—whether you opt for a “signature” or a “classique.” The drink names themselves may sound simple—the Yellow or the Jungle—but they’re complex and clearly crafted with care. The latter, for example, is a take on a martini with the addition of sherry, while each of the three Royal drinks—Angélique, Basilic, and Shiso—are versions of the traditional Kir, but using house-made infusions to help enhance the flavor of the champagne. This is a real destination spot for people who appreciate the art of cocktail crafting, and for those who yearn for a taste of today while reveling in the atmosphere of yesterday. Since they open on the early side, with a strong focus on apéro cocktails, it’s a great place to come with friends or a date before heading out elsewhere—or if you’ve had a long day and want to relax with a tipple and a small bite before calling it an (early) night." - Sara Lieberman

"This matchbox-sized café in the 16th arrondissement preserves the historic façade, porcelain tiles, windows, and signage of its predecessor while shifting the focus to specialty coffee, all-day bar snacks (sautéed girolle mushrooms, croque madame), cocktails by night—earning a Best Bar d’Auteur prize from Le Fooding in 2019—and a Sunday roast that draws locals across town." - Lindsey Tramuta
