La Crèmerie

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Beneath an original glass-covered ceiling, this marble-walled caviste (wine cellar) is a delicious flashback to 1880s Paris. With a stock of 400-odd wines and an exquisite array of France's finest gourmet goods, it is a delightful spot for an early-evening apéro (predinner drink) accompanied by tapas-style dishes or a fully fledged meal.
