Perhaps the bar used to share the kitchen with the restaurant upstairs, but this did not appear to be the case during our visit in September 2016. My husband, sister and I visited Verjus with the hopes of enjoying a bottle or two of wine as well as some heavy tapas. When I mentioned seeing the tapas menu the bartender got confused and said they only offer a small selection of cheese and charcuterie at the bar, but nothing cooked. We attempted to make a reservation at the restaurant upstairs, but unfortunately they were booked solid. We each ordered a glass of wine and split several plates of prosciutto and cheese at the bar. Everything was nice, but we were looking for dinner and the bar was a bit warmer than I would have preferred so after we finished our wine and cheese we ventured off elsewhere. This tiny wine bar is very charming spot to grab a glass of wine, but don't expect to find any tapas here.

Call in advance to make dinner reservations because we did not and the only opening was at 9:45pm. So we opted for the wine bar downstairs, which serves tapas. At first I was a little bummed about not being able to dine at the restaurant upstairs, but the wine bar was FANTASTIC! Here's what we ordered, with the best being at the top of the list. 1. The GNOCCHI was to die for...the pieces were small and ever-so-slightly crispy on the outside. 2. The SPICY FRIED CHICKEN (yes, we order manfood staples when my bf is with me) was so juicy on the inside yet crispy on the outside. The chicken was bursting with flavor. 3. The FLANK STEAK with CHIMICHURRI sauce was surprisingly tender and flavorful. 4. We also had the CELERY ROOT GYOZA. This was hands down the best food that we had in Paris. I can only imagine what the upstairs restaurant serves! The bartender was super cool and was helpful in recommending wine pairings with our food. She poured samples to make sure that we were happy with our wine selections. She also speaks perfectly good English if you're wondering! Thank you yelp for helping us pick out a fantastic restaurant to end our week in Paris. Merci beaucoup!

We loved it! A real find that we were only directed to by our Air BNB host…read more It's a tiny delicatessen and wine shop, which is obviously popular with the locals. By no means cheap, but worth EVERY penny. No menu, just take a table (if you're lucky) and you'll be asked if you want meat or cheese or mixed. You'll get a decent sized platter with bread and fig chutney for £8-10 per person, and you can order wine to go with it. They speak great English and also sell a small range of deli items, from chutneys to chocolates, bread and more. And all the cheese/meat you taste!

The bar is full of Corsican wines, excellent sausage (some of the best), cheese. Pick your bottle from the shelf and pay a small corkage fee. Corsican whites are generally quite mineral, fresh and slightly salty (due to the island influence). They are a perfect match with sausage because the acid cuts through the fat nicely. They also have a range of wines by the glass but getting a bottle is far more social. The reds are juicy and spiced so again perfect with sausage. It's a non-debatable topic: you must get the mixed cheese and charcuterie plate. Its generous and so, so good. As I said above, it was some of the best sausage I had the whole time I was in France. And the whole shop smells of it too so it's impossible not to be hungry. Unless you are vegetarian- then maybe stick with the cheese.

What was really weird is that people were smoking in the bar. I mentioned it to the owner who, with a shrug of his shoulders, said that they were his friends so he let them do what they want.

I'd definitely give this one a miss.

A great selection of wines and small bites, cheeses and chocolates. During the week it closes early at 7:30 but weekends at 10 due to the type of license, cave. They allowed us to try a few before selecting a glass. Knowledgeable servers and as you expect a bit of snob, which I appreciate with good wine ;-)

We walked in (myself, my daughter and a small dog) and asked the waitress if we could pick any table in the covered terrace to which she said yes. We sat down and waited patiently for 20 minutes as we saw her waiting on other customers and chit chatting with the other employees that were working behind the bar. I finally was able to get her attention and told her we were ready to order, she said one moment and left. Some time later a large party of around 12 French people with a dog walked in and she proceeded to arrange the tables to sit them down, brought each one a menu (we never got a menu) and even brought water for their dog (which obviously she didn't bring for our dog). At this point, it was very obvious that we were going to sit there and watch the neighboring party eat and drink before she would even take our order so we got up to leave and she finally came around and very aggressively told me she was the only waitress and she was busy. I told her the other party had arrived 20 minutes after us, she got them menus and even water for the dog and she had refused to take our order. As we were walking out she yelled really loudly on my ear "goodbye". This restaurant was one of the few ones in the area that on a Saturday night, close to Christmas wasn't packed with people and I can see why! I'm very glad we took our business elsewhere but I don't know how a waitress is allowed to let money go out the door.

There were too many meet and cheese options, so we ended up getting a premade board with meats and cheeses, and added a topper of an artichoke spread and caramelized onions - the onions were so tasty! The bread that came was good too and we got extreas - I really liked the brie especially. There were both cured hams and salamis on the board, all very tasty. We sat right by the window and had a great view of the street outside to people watch - the ambiance of the restaurant was very nice (the downstairs space was very nice too). Also, the service was super helpful and kind.

This place is so cool! I met up with some friends in Paris…read moreand one of them organised for a bigger group of us to meet here for food, wine and good times - and that's exactly what we had! The booking was originally for 15 people so they had a few high tables in the middle of the place reserved for us, I was immediately struck by the cool ambience of the place - it's very classy and also feels totally Parisian! Of course we had to get some wine and the guy behind the bar let us taste them before we decided if we wanted them or not! I was easily pleased (my wine was pink, that's all I need) but my friends got to try a few different reds before picking a bottle. The staff were really friendly and helpful, as well as being extremely knowledgable about the wines, of course! We also ordered a planche mixte which comprises of charcuterie and cheese, and all of it was totally excellent! There was some smoked ham, salami, three different types of cheese, cherry tomatoes and cornichons, as well as honey to have with the softer one of the cheeses and we scoffed the lot. There was also copious amounts of bread - when we asked for more we were quickly brought some which was brilliant, I like it when places appreciate how important bread is! There ended up being probably at least 20 of us because a few people showed up by surprise, and the staff were again very accommodating about this - bringing extra chairs and still managing to be very attentive despite how many of us there were! It was a great night and L'Ivress is definitely somewhere I'd like to come back to when I'm back in Paris - at €4 for my glass of wine and €25 for the planche it was pretty reasonable too, especially for Paris!
