Le Bel Ordinaire

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall open shelves lined with bottles and gourmet products (hams, cheeses, shellfish, preserves, straw baskets of farm eggs and fresh fruit and vegetables) fire up your appetite for tapas-style small plates, such as tuna gravlax with grated apple, smoked burrata with sesame pesto, cuttlefish-ink risotto with blue cheese, at this contemporary wine bar. Over 300 winemakers are represented.

Seating is at a long communal oak table, high counters and, in fine weather, out on the terrace.
