For an alternative to the rowdy drinking holes on nearby Marché aux Herbes, this cosy wine bar is the perfect antidote. With a focus on France, Spain and Italy, the range of offerings is staggering. When in doubt, go with a wine flight (five 5cL pours for €14), and pair it with some delectable bruschette.
