La Chope des Puces

Shhh. Best kept secret. Saturday lunch. Veal parmentier, cassoullet, amazing frites, and guitar driven live jazz inspired by Django Reinhardt. Inspired fret work.

Had a brilliant time here with three locals. The music was excellent, as was the ambiance. A chalk board menu with lots of french classics. I had blanquette de veau. Around 22 euros par plat. The wine was a little over priced, I thought, but the service was excellent and it was packed with people enjoying themselves.

Big Django/jazz manouche fans from US. Owners took good care of us made sure we were seated first available and that we had a hot tea. We do not drink and were still made comfortable. The musicians were all incredible. One of the highlights of our trip and a must see. Wanted to give a tip for keeping Django’s memory and the tradition alive. Merci beaucoup, see you guys next year!

This is a bar on one side and a larger bar/dinner/music venue on the other side (through the back). We only went you the bar side, on a Sunday afternoon after looking around the markets. Really loved the bar, the music, the staff (family run I think). A little gem of a place to be honest! Some things to know: Live music - it’s a bar based on jazz music so you pay slightly more for drinks but you get musicians playing. Don’t think of the prices as the same as another bar - you’re paying also for the music! The musicians rotate in and out so there’s great variety. It can be very busy, then quiet, then busy again. Wait around a bit and you find a seat. Because it can get very busy, maybe don’t try and bring a big group here during the busy times.

I wish I could give this place 100 stars. Beyond doubt, this was the highlight of our recent trip to Paris. The music was OUT OF THIS WORLD! The mysicians were superlative, absolutely brilliant. I was totally transported by the place as well. Food was very good. Atmosphere off the charts with probably some of the best music you could hear in all of Paris. I will make that a must anytime I am lucky enough to return to this amazing city. The market in the area was also interesting to see while there. One of the most memorable things we have done in Paris and since we have friends there, have been many times.

Waiting staff was very friendly and could speak English. Gypsy jazz music was excellent. The trio were very good players. Come early to be seated near the musicians.

Incredible music and good wine and service, couldn’t ask for more!!

As good and authentic as it gets for jazz manouche. Excellent musicians and great friendly environment overall. A place where you can spend you evening getting lost in the music
