My selection of brasseries in Paris

Today on the blog, I’m sharing a small, non-exhaustive selection of brasseries in Paris that I’ve had the chance to test since 2019. From traditional and iconic brasseries of the capital to more modern ones, including a brasserie with Provencal accents, I think I’m offering you quite a broad overview of the Parisian brasserie scene.

To write this column, I did a bit of research on the definition of a “brasserie.” Indeed, it’s a word we use very frequently in Paris without really knowing what it entails (well, that was the case for me). So, after some research, I think I can tell you that what distinguishes a brasserie from a bistro or a restaurant, among other things, is its ability to provide continuous service from morning until night. While a bistro, for instance, is typically only open during meal hours. Furthermore, historically, brasseries were places intended for brewing beer on-site, as it became a very popular drink in Paris in the 19th century. Today, this is no longer really the case, although brasseries obviously still often serve beer, as this beverage is still just as appreciated by Parisians.

Brasseries in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris

Les Capucines

This iconic brasserie on Boulevard des Capucines, created in the 80s and located right across from the Olympia, just reopened its doors at the beginning of 2026 after 5 months of renovation. It belongs to the Richard family (of the famous Café Richard). I loved the cozy velvet decor upstairs, where I suggest you sit. There are, particularly near the windows, small tables/banquettes perfect for a romantic dinner, I find.

In the kitchen, we find the “Maître Restaurateur” chef Karl Lacelle. On the plates, we find French brasserie classics: eggs mayo (€8); reinvented leeks with a warm orange vinaigrette (€9); whole Colbert sea bream (€25); homemade, very regressive cordon bleu with Comté ham and coquillettes (€26); and also for desserts, beautiful profiteroles (€14), a baked Alaska flambéed à la minute with Grand Marnier (€14), or even the Paris-Brest choux (€13).

Brasseries in the 5th arrondissement of Paris

Brasserie Balzar

The Brasserie Balzar is one of the oldest in the capital; it was born in 1894 between the Sorbonne, Collège de France, and the faculties of medicine and law. It offers typical French cuisine dishes in a setting that brings the Paris of yesteryear back to life. For starters, we had the lentil salad with ventrèche (€7) and the Comté cheese soufflé (€11.50). Then, for the main course, we tried the Balzar seafood choucroute (€29.50), which was super generous (we could have eaten off it for two, I think), and also the grilled contre-filet with pepper sauce and homemade fries (€27). Finally, this dinner was an opportunity for me to reconcile with profiteroles (€12), which I found delicious but rarely order at restaurants because I often find them lacking, but that was not the case here.

Brasseries in the 6th arrondissement of Paris

Bouillon Chartier Montparnasse

The Bouillon Chartier is one of the historic establishments of brasseries in Paris, notably with its address on Rue du Faubourg Montmartre opened in 1896, which I have already mentioned previously on the blog. It is an iconic address of the capital with its 19th-century decor, waiters in black & white costumes, and bills written on white tablecloths, which make the whole experience quite folkloric.

The Bouillon Chartier Montparnasse, opened in 1903, is back with its original sign, the same superb Art Nouveau setting as at its inception, but also and above all with the same philosophy as at its inauguration: to offer a decent meal at a low price. Indeed, this address, which was renamed several times, today regains its former name, its ceramic walls by Louis Trézel, and its mirrors bordered by fretwork woodwork. This brasserie is in any case immense and long, with no less than 180 seats and numerous hidden rooms and alcoves…

Brasseries in the 7th arrondissement of Paris

Vendémiaire, Parisian brasserie

Vendémiaire is a Parisian brasserie opened in July 2024 and located in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, a stone’s throw from Les Invalides. This chic French brasserie offers a refined setting that is both contemporary and retro, with decor that highlights beautiful materials. This living space offers continuous service, from breakfast to dinner. In the kitchen, it is chef Jeffrey Quetin (who succeeded Santiago Guerrero) who offers gourmet French cuisine that highlights local products and seasonality.

2026 Menu – dinner

Try the very beautiful eggs mayonnaise with lovage and smoked sturgeon (€10) as a starter, Charlotte’s oysters (€10 for 3), the pork pâté en croûte (€24), or even the very regressive gourmet croque to share (it’s not on the menu but you have to ask the chef). For the main course, we tested the pear and Auvergne blue cheese gnocchi (€32) as well as the scallops with spinach and Cointreau siphon (€45), a dish that I personally found a bit too strong in alcohol in terms of taste. To accompany all this, there is a very lovely wine list concocted by Thierry Guemas, master wine merchant. For desserts, we opted for the crème brûlée, an timeless classic.

2024 Menu – lunch

As a starter, we tasted the very beautiful eggs mayonnaise or even the sea bream tartare with shellfish mayo. For the main course, we were daring with the roasted veal liver and its cider sauce. It was very good, but I admit that I now know it’s not really my thing. At least I tried. I made up for it with the seared scallops which were famous. Plus, it’s the season, so you have to take advantage of it. To accompany all this, there is a very lovely wine list concocted by Thierry Guemas, master wine merchant. As for desserts, they are made by pastry chef Asia Goncalves. We opted for the crème brûlée, an timeless classic. And we also tasted her magnificent Tulakalum 75% chocolate tartlet with hazelnut praline and cocoa nibs, a little killer.

Brasserie Mollard

The Brasserie Mollard, located in the Gare Saint-Lazare district, has existed since the 19th century. The decor of the main room was created during the Belle Époque by architect Niermans in the Art Nouveau style and is now classified as a historical monument. The address also just renovated its back lounges in the same style in collaboration with art craftsmen to restore its original prestige to the whole restaurant.

On the plate, the brasserie’s specialty is seafood with its oyster bar at the entrance, lobsters, and fish. We therefore chose to share a tasting platter with the favorite photographer because we love it! I struggled a bit with the lobster claws, which gave me quite a hard time, but we really enjoyed ourselves. I am also a fan of crabs. For dessert, to digest, we shared the house’s baked Alaska, which was a very good choice!

Brasserie Bellanger

The Brasserie Bellanger is the first restaurant by Victor & Charly, two catering enthusiasts who have been working for over a year to revive the typical Parisian brasserie sector. The establishment is located between Pigalle, Barbès, and Poissonnière in Paris. The starting point of the menu is the cookbook of Charly’s great-great-aunt, Marie-Louise Bellanger! Result: we find a simple menu with traditional and very regressive French recipes!

And then, the cherry on top, the great classics of the Belle Époque of brasseries in Paris at the turn of the century are highlighted and offered at really accessible prices, because it is possible to eat well at this address without spending more than €15! And that’s not common in Paris! Regarding decor, the design of the place was entrusted to the prestigious Franco-London cabinet, B3 Designers, and I must say that the result is quite convincing! We find the codes of the traditional Parisian brasserie with, in addition, some small details that make you feel at home when you arrive.

On the culinary side, we enjoy good products expertly selected from a network of over 50 producers and cooked on-site.

To taste from the Sunday menu:

For starters, we took ladled rillettes (€7), Grandma Bellanger style with Burgundy poultry, green onions, and Sarawak green pepper. The whole thing accompanied by a mini seasonal salad (€5), melon for the occasion, as we went there last summer.
The Eggs Benedict, composed of a homemade muffin and a double dose of grilled Bourbonnais bacon (€12).
The genuine Laguiole sausage sliced with a knife, with its meat juices simmered for 8 hours and its salted churn butter mash (€13).
For dessert, we fell for the Sunday cookie (€7), super crispy and soft at the same time, accompanied by a chocolate-hazelnut ice cream and salted butter caramel, a real treat! We also tasted the dessert of the day, a sort of revisited lemon tart.
As for drinks, we took a fresh squeezed orange juice (€5) and a glass of white wine (wines by the glass between €5 and €7).

The little plus: the small terrace along the establishment for sunny days (that’s where we ate during our Sunday lunch)

Bistrot de la Gare

This restaurant, located right across from the Gare de Lyon in Paris, has been recently refurbished. It bears the name of a bistro, yet it meets the criteria of a Parisian brasserie with a large menu and continuous service from morning to night. Inside, we find retro decoration in tribute to the glory years of the SNCF with a beautiful collection of vintage posters and pretty retro black-and-white railway snapshots. In the center of the ground floor room, a wide staircase topped by a large golden brass light where large white light globes are suspended leads to a beautiful room upstairs (where we ate), whose rotunda offers a wide view of the Gare de Lyon.

La Brasserie des Grandes Marches

The Brasserie des Grandes Marches (in reference to the grand staircase that leads to the forecourt of the Opéra Bastille) was born in 1987. The place, however, has a much older history that goes back to the middle of the 15th century, when the “Tour d’Argent Wine Commerce” was opened, a name linked to the fact that the old tavern was located right across from the Bastille Treasury Tower. The brasserie, ideally overlooking the Place de la Bastille, is among the essential addresses of eastern Paris with its posh decor and large refrigerated seafood bar.

To taste from the club-menu (the dishes also change according to the seasons): 6 oysters; as a main course, the sea bream fillet with eggplant caviar, white butter; or the duck confit, veal jus, homemade mashed potatoes

Brasserie Cézanne

This Parisian brasserie that opened last summer is located on Avenue Kléber. Regarding decor, it’s a one-way ticket to the south of France with its Provencal touches. I really appreciated the decoration and the made-in-Provence atmosphere of this warm address, but I admit that I was a little more disappointed on the kitchen side… I found that the dishes lacked a bit of seasoning and zest. The carpaccio, for example, lacked sauce for my taste. And I also found the prices a bit too high in relation to the level of the dishes.

As we tested this address at the time of its opening last summer, maybe things have improved in the kitchen, and I would have to go for a new test to give a second chance to this address which, aside from that, really doesn’t lack charm!

Brasserie Le Galliera

This Parisian brasserie is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, right across from the Museum of Fashion (Palais Galliera). This address has been the stronghold of the Boyer family (originally from Aveyron) since 2011. The place is divided into two spaces, a bar and cafe part, where regulars come from the early morning to enjoy pure Mocca coffee from Maison Lavazza, (voted in 2019, Best coffee in Paris). And another restaurant part with a brasserie menu to lunch or dine simply but generously. No menus, everything is à la carte, where we find in particular some dishes from the book “Recipe of the 6th floor kitchen” produced by Nathalie George, a neighbor of the Galliera.

To taste: for starters, the duo earth and sea Benedict with lime, an organic egg with slightly lemoned hollandaise sauce and Cyril Lignac’s buckwheat bread with smoked trout (€10.50); goat cheese ravioli with honey (€9.50); for the main course, the “Mansarde à Venise”, pasta with three meats (€19.50); the French Farmhouse Chicken in velvet breeches (€19); for dessert, the tiramisu or the floating islands (a bit too sweet for my taste).

The little pluses: In the basement, 5 intimate rooms with varied themes are arranged in the former vaulted cellar. The train and its dining car, for a romantic tête-à-tête, the cellar where beautiful bottles are stored with a ceiling suspension with motifs reproducing grape clusters and its large host table that can accommodate 8 guests, the Vault, the Barrel, or even the chalet for a mountain getaway. Finally, Le Galliera also benefits from a large terrace for sunny days.

Brasseries in the 20th arrondissement of Paris

Brasserie Coquin

The Brasserie Coquin settled in Ménilmontant in the 20th Parisian arrondissement this autumn. The restaurant offers contemporary cuisine with Latin accents, but also offers a wide variety of French meats cooked on the spits of the rotisserie, the centerpiece of the house. This is, moreover, really the strength of this establishment because the pieces of meat prepared in this way are really a beautiful surprise and particularly successful.

On the atmospheric side, we find a neat and trendy decor, all in a comfortable and cozy ambiance. The establishment consists of several spaces: the main room around the rotisserie, a small corner with hanging armchairs, and the back room, a little more confidential and graphic. Like all brasseries in Paris, Coquin therefore offers an à la carte menu with continuous service, accompanied by a selection of wines.
