La Buvette

"A natural wine bar with no actual kitchen, La Buvette still ended up being one of the most memorable, romantic meals during my nine-day trip to France. Tucked in the 11th Arrondissement and helmed by chef-owner Camille Fourmont, this teeny-tiny spot offers effortlessly chic dishes like gigantic beans with citrus zest, pink pickled eggs with furikake, and olive oil-drowned burrata with crusty bread. My husband and I split a bottle of red wine that was so good we had no choice other than to buy two more bottles and pray that they didn’t shatter in our suitcase on the way home. They made it." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors

"It wouldn’t be accurate to call Camille Fourmont the godmother of natural wine in Paris—she’s only in her 30s! But her tiny DIY-distressed wine bar has converted many a drinker to the noncommercial side. Her spot-on palate extends beyond interesting wines: Even without a kitchen she assembles unforgettable plates from the country’s best raw, cured, fermented, and jarred ingredients." - ByChristine Muhlke

One of my favorite wine bars - always my first and last stop in town.
