La Cave des Climats

St-Germain & Les Invalides


A wine-taster's fantasy, this upmarket and convivial cave à manger (wine shop where you can drink and dine) features a great variety of references, with an emphasis on Burgundy wines (by the bottle or full glass to suit all budgets). It also serves up inventive platters (from €12) in a warm atmosphere. Check the website for tasting sessions (€50).
