Corkage is the east-Paris customary 7€, however the glass-pour alternatives are sometimes uncommon and value exploring. Ricard additionally enlivens his bar’s choices with semi-frequent guest-chef evenings: previous collaborators have included Yam Tcha’s Adeline Grattard, and Maori Murota of Le Verre Volé Sur Mer.

Not Ingesting Poison in Paris (2015) “La Cave du Daron [is] the block’s solely possibility for fantastic wine consumption with out the attendant obligation of pricy delicacies. Modest and welcoming, [owner Jean-Julien] Ricard is well-suited to the position he’s discovered, because the Goncourt native’s favourite low-key foil to the brouhaha throughout the road.”
Le Bon Bon (2012) Minuscule petite cave cachée, elle recèle pourtant des surprises alléchantes, bien loin de la easy promesse de bouteille/planche de charcut’ fromages. Entre apéros de nanas et découvertes culinaires, cette cave n’a vraiment rien à voir avec toutes ses copines.
