Where to eat in the 18th arrondissement? These restaurants give northern Paris a buzz
From boulevard de Clichy to Jules Joffrin, these tables in the 18th arrondissement are the talk of real enthusiasts.
Wepler: historic brewery in Pigalle
Some places have a soul, others a memory. Le Wepler has both. Leaning against the Place Clichy since 1881, this century-old brasserie has become much more than a simple gourmet address. At the crossroads between Montmartre and Pigalle, it embodies an entire section of Parisian cultural life. From its very beginnings, the Wepler was more than just a drinking establishment: it was an artistic and festive complex. Grill, American bar, dance hall… And above all, an extraordinary clientele. Apollinaire, Picasso, Modigliani and Toulouse-Lautrec all stopped off here. Even Henry Miller set the action of his famous Jours tranquilles à Clichy here.

L’Almanach: neo-bistro in the Jules Joffrin district
Just a stone’s throw from the 18th arrondissement town hall, l’Almanach revisits the bistro spirit with flair. The decor is sober, with light wood and soft lighting. Here, products are sourced from small producers in the Paris region. The menu changes with the seasons. Right now, the grilled octopus and miso purée are a hit. At lunchtime, the menu remains affordable. In the evening, the place becomes more intimate. The clientele? Local regulars, often in their thirties. It’s the ideal address for a dinner without false notes.

Abraba: vibrant Israeli cuisine at Château Rouge
In the lively Chateau Rouge district, Abraba turns codes on their head. The chef offers generous, modern Israeli cuisine. Homemade pita bread, creamy labneh, lemony hummus: each dish explodes with flavor. The spices are warming, the colors delight the eye. The place attracts foodies from all over Paris. The tastefully decorated dining room is always bustling with activity. The weekend brunch is already a cult favorite. You come for the energy, you come back for the food. A place to discover before it becomes a must.
