Berliner Pigalle

Montmartre & Northern Paris


For a change from the craft-cocktail norm on bar-lined rue Frochot, duck into this Berliner bar for a beer and currywurst (sausage with curry sauce), Berliner dog or salt-spiked bretzel (large pretzel). Like its big sister Berliner Wunderbar in Bastille, it sports dozens of different German beers, on tap and bottled, plus cocktails and Hamburg's original Fritz-Kola in various flavours.
