Recently, we visited Le Barav: an excellent wine bar in Paris, just steps from Place de la République. One thing is certain: Le Barav has everything it takes to become one of your go-to spots for drinking good wine in complete peace and quiet.
The concept of Le Barav
First, Le Barav is both a wine bar and a wine shop; but the two work together. From the bar, get up and head to the cellar. You can then choose the bottle you want to taste (with a 6 euro corkage fee). Didn’t finish the bottle? No problem, just ask the server for a cork and you can take it home.
Eating at Le Barav
On the food side, lovely boards await you: charcuterie, cheese or mixed, anything is possible! If you’re looking for something more elaborate, that won’t be a problem: the menu of this wine bar in Paris is plentiful enough to delight your taste buds and those of your friends.
The cellar at Le Barav
On the other hand, let’s focus on the strategic part: the cellar at Le Barav. Indeed, it is extremely well stocked and includes bottles of great quality. From grand cru classé to lesser-known wines: there’s something for every taste and every budget. One thing is certain: we’d be delighted to record a podcast here! What’s more, all the French wine regions are represented in the cellar at Le Barav: so you can discover them as you go along with your tastings.
Put your sommelier skills to the test
Finally, if you want to put your sommelier skills to the test, you’re in the right place. Indeed, each week, the Barav team selects a mystery wine. If you guess the region, the grape variety and the appellation, you’ll win a gift. Depending on how you do, you’ll win a glass (one right answer out of three) up to a bottle (three right answers out of three). In conclusion, one last piece of advice before we let you rush off to Le Barav: remember to book before you go, free tables can be hard to come by. Le Barav’s address: 6 Rue Charles-François Dupuis, 75003 Paris. Contact Le Barav and join the adventure of this great venue on social media:
