La Quincave

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Bar stools at this lively wine bar and shop are fashioned from wine barrels, but on summer evenings most of the action spills onto the tiny street out front. Over 200 varieties of natural wines are available by the bottle, along with tasty charcuterie and cheese platters to soak them up.
