Only those in the know come here, as it’s tucked out of sight in a small impasse off the Avenue de Clichy.

Brasserie Barbès
Directly across from, and at eye-level with, the metro Barbès-Rochechouart, this elegant eatery sticks out like a sore thumb in this otherwise gritty neighborhood. Light, bright, and calm inside, the restaurant offers a menu with reinvented French favorites and vegan options. The bar upstairs plays a wide variety of music and serves up tasty but potent cocktails. Out on the rooftop, you can dance all night or just take in the views of the Parisian skyline. A great after-work hangout or good for a nice family dinner too.
