Paris is a natural wine lover’s paradise, with the most bars and restaurants serving natural wine of any other city in the world. From neighborhood bars pouring funky, biodynamic wines by the glass to cozy restaurants where bottles line the walls, the city of Paris has fully embraced the natural wine movement.
I’ve put together a list of 10 natural wine bars in Paris – perfect for lunch, romantic dinners, or long nights at bustling bars. Whether you’re a seasoned Paris traveler or visiting for the first time, there is something for everyone on this list!
Top Natural Wine Bars and Restaurants in Paris
1. La Verre Volé (Canal St. Martin)
This tiny restaurant is truly a Paris institution and one of the first natural wine pioneers in France. With only a few tables, this cozy dinner restaurant is always bustling.
They offer a small seasonal rotating menu with truly fantastic food. It’s worth a visit even if you’re not interested in drinking any wine! They often offer seasonal seafood dishes like clams in a sweet broth or a tempura-style smelt.
A small selection of wines is offered by the glass, but you also have your choice of the hundreds of options by the bottle that line the restaurant’s walls.
It’s a perfect spot on the canal to enjoy a glass of natural wine, just make sure to make a reservation as the space fills up quickly in the evenings.
Best for: Dinner with friends and a few bottles.
Tip: Book ahead; the space is small and fills quickly.
2. Liquiderie BAR (Oberkampf)
A cozy and casual bar in the Oberkampf neighborhood offering a large selection of natural wines and beers by the glass, served on tap. This is a great spot to enjoy with friends, as their beer list is actually quite impressive for those who aren’t interested in drinking wine.
They have a number of small plates that you can enjoy, but the overall vibe feels more like a bar than a restaurant. It’s a great spot to come earlier in the evening, before dinner, for an aperó.
Best for: Funky bottles, energetic atmosphere.
Tip: Don’t be afraid to ask for something “weird.” The staff will deliver.
3. Amatxi (11th Arrondissement)
A Basque-style restaurant in the heart of the 11th Arrondissement, Amatxi is at the top of my list for both incredible food and an excellent selection of natural wines. They serve both French and foreign wines, often from small producers that you may not find elsewhere.
The menu offers a number of sharing plates from a rotating seasonal menu, so it is best enjoyed as a pair or small group, so you can sample lots of dishes.
Other than fantastic, juicy Gamay wine that was served with my lunch, some of the dishes we enjoyed included mussels in a salsa verde, roasted shishito peppers, and a beet carpaccio topped with anchovies.
Best for: date night, lunch with a small group of friends
Tip: Try their Basque specialties with a chilled red.
4. Martin (11th Arrondissement)
Martin is probably the most lowkey spot on this list. Picture a young crowd, loud chatter and cigarettes in a fun indoor/outdoor space.
Despite the casual vibe of this bar, Martin has an excellent selection of natural wines. They offer a few wines by the glass and an extensive bottle list. On their bottle list, you’ll see some impressive collaborations, including one with Les Vins Pirouettes, one of my favorite winemakers.
Best for: Late-night drinks and small plates.
Tip: The bar gets crowded quickly, but there is plenty of seating both inside and outside.
5. Café du Coin (11th Arrondissement)
This is a tiny, stylish bistro that balances incredible cooking with a thoughtful natural wine list. The menu changes daily — simple, seasonal, and full of flavor. Café du Coin has become a Paris institution, so don’t expect to walk in without a wait.
Best for: Seasonal cooking paired with delicious wine.
Tip: Go for lunch to avoid the dinner rush, or make a reservation ahead of time.
6. Folderol (11th Arrondissement)
An ice cream shop and wine bar in one. Folderol is playful, fun, and very Paris 2025. The ice cream flavors are seasonal, and the vibe is effortlessly cool.
Best for: Post-dinner wine and ice cream combo.
Tip: Don’t skip the sorbets, they pair surprisingly well with a glass of pét-nat.
7. Recoin (11th Arrondissement)
A cozy natural wine bar that feels like you’ve stumbled into a local’s living room. The list is short but well-curated, and the small plates are made for sharing. Perfect if you want something quieter than the big-name spots.
Best for: A calm night with a few glasses.
Tip: Sit at the bar for a conversation with the staff.
8. Delicatessen Place (11th Arrondissement)
This is more of a lively hangout than a serious wine temple — but that’s the fun of it. Expect loud music, young crowds, and bottles flying around the room. The wine list skews natural but accessible.
- Best for: A night out with friends, energetic vibe.
- Tip: Not the place for a quiet tasting, but perfect if you want to drink with friends.
9. Stéréo (11th Arrondissement)
A newer addition, Stéréo combines natural wine with a vinyl record bar concept. The playlist is as good as the wine list. It’s a little hip, a little hidden, and a great stop if you want something beyond the usual suspects.
Best for: Wine with music.
Tip: Check their Instagram for events. They often host DJ sets.
10. Le Vin au Vert (9th Arrondissement)
One of the best bottle shops in Paris, with a cozy bar attached. Le Vin au Vert focuses on organic and biodynamic wines, many from the Loire and Jura.
It’s perfect for stocking up before a picnic or grabbing a few glasses before dinner.
I stopped in for a quick after-dinner drink a few times while I read my book, as it was just around the corner from my hotel.
Best for: Bottle shopping + quick glass before or after dinner.
Here are a few other bars that I haven’t had the chance to visit yet, but are on my list for my next visit to Paris:
- Septime La Cave (11th): A wine bar from the team behind Septime restaurant. Always packed but I hear it’s worth it!
- Buvette (9th): Wine bar meets café. A casual, fun vibe.
- Le Barav (3rd): A Paris staple with great food and wines.

Is natural wine and organic wine the same thing?
Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. All natural wines are functionally organic (though not always formally certified because it’s an expensive process), but not all organic wines are natural. An organic wine may still be heavily manipulated in the cellar, while natural wine aims for low intervention all the way from vineyard to bottle.
Where are the best neighborhoods for natural wine in Paris?
The 10th and 11th arrondissements are the heart of the natural wine scene. Here you’ll find Liquiderie, Martin, Folderol, Café du Coin, and many more, all within walking distance.
How much does natural wine cost in Paris?
Expect to pay €5–€9 per glass and €30–€60 per bottle at most bars. Some rare or small-batch bottles will cost more, but overall prices are fair given the quality.
Do I need reservations?
Most natural wine bars in Paris are small. Some, like La Verre Volé or Café du Coin, take reservations, and they’re worth making if you want a table. Others operate on a first-come basis. For busy spots, go early in the evening.
Can I buy bottles to take home?
Yes. Many bars double as bottle shops (caves à vin). Places like La Verre Volé, Le Vin au Vert, and Liquiderie let you drink in-house or buy bottles to go.
