The Red and the Glass
Enthroned in rue Brunel, not far from the Palais des Congrès, The Red and the Glass opened its doors in 2002. But it was only 2 years ago, at the dawn of the health crisis, that Anita took over this authentic establishment. Indeed, behind its pretty red frontage, we discover that Le Rouge et le Verre is neither a bar nor a restaurant... but a beautiful wine cellar typically Parisian, which also makes guest table !
The 600 wine references proposed – including many biodynamic and natural wines – are carefully chosen by Anita, who works in directly with producers. There is also a nice selection of champagnes, rums and other spirits… A paradise for lovers of beautiful bottles and the most knowledgeable connoisseurs. Especially since here, the corkage fee is not. All these beautiful bottles can be consumed on the spot or to take away, at the same price. A real added value!
During your afterworks, you can enjoy delicious boards of southwestern charcuterie and cheeses… but not only. At lunch and dinner time, the chef offers bistronomic cuisine, using fresh produce. And the menu changes often, depending on seasonal arrivals!
The Red and the Glass, 33 rue de Brunel, 75017 Paris. 01 45 72 69 98. Please note that for dinner, Le Rouge et le Verre is only open on weekends: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The Table of the Organic Cellar
In a chic and sober decor in ocher/grey tones, The Table of the Organic Cellar offers a menu bringing together whites, rosés, reds and champagnes from different appellations. There is also a selection of spirits produced by independent producers (Rum, Whisky, cognac and Armagnac). Each bottle is carefully chosen by the owner of the premises, Dominique Bry. This lover of cuvées with interesting organoleptic qualities took the time to visit many wine estates in order to draw up this map of 250 references of wines and champagnes - exclusively organic, biodynamic and natural – sourced from the best producers. The house offers reasonable prices by the glass and by the bottle, to be discovered on the spot, as well as a cellar rate for bottles to take away… The plus? Le Caviste Bio offers a Bistronomic restoration midday and evening quality.
