Le Barav

Apéro French Style

WHY

Because sometimes you just need a cheat day.

WHERE

In the heart of the Marais @ 6 Rue Charles-François Dupuis

WHAT

Have a bunch of small plates to share. Definitely have some of the charcuterie especially if you are only visiting France...the quality of the meat (well any type of food) is amazing. A cheese board is always a good idea and of course my fave French apéro staple, rillettes. If you are craving a fancier flavor, try the ham cooked with truffle or brie truffle tartine. I obviously have a truffle problem.

And of course, do not forget the wine. They have a cellar of 250+ amazing wines which you can enjoy there or purchase to bring home.

WHEN

Get there on the early side especially if you want terasse seating as they don't take evening reservations and it gets packed very quickly.

WHO

Good for a group of friends, but also good if you are traveling or dining solo. There is indoor, outdoor and bar seating. Great mix of mostly locals and some expats.
