Which are the best bars in Paris? 50 Best awards revealed
Danico
In the top 100 last year, Danico makes a stunning entry into the 50 best bars in the world this year, in 49th place to be precise. Right in the heart of Rue Vivienne, this establishment run by Nicolas de Soto is accessible in the evening via the Daroco restaurant. Behind its velvet curtain, you can enjoy creations that combine “silky texture and euphoric flavors” and are certainly among the best cocktails in town.
Bar Nouveau
The UFO of this selection! Opened in 2023, this bar has climbed straight to 39th place in the World’s 50 and is making a name for itself. If you’ve followed the pun, you won’t be surprised by its magnificent floor-to-ceiling Art Nouveau decor. But beyond the setting, you can also enjoy cocktails as delicate as they are surprising, signed by Rémi Savage, Sarah and Hadrien Mouloudaud. A must-try!
The Cambridge Public House
Following its entry in the 2023 ranking, The Cambridge Public House has confirmed its position as the 19th best bar in the world, synonymous with the title of best bar in Paris. Part English pub, part lounge, the establishment serves delicious cocktails as well as a fine selection of natural wines and craft beers. In short, the best of all worlds.
So there you have it, the establishments that put Paris and France on the map. But if you want to see what the world’s finest cocktail scene looks like, you’ll have to go to Mexico City, Hong Kong or Barcelona, where you’ll find the three bars that make it to the top of the rankings.
