What does JoeyStarr’s Paris look like? Today, the French rapper, actor, and composer—known for his outspokenness—reveals another facet of his personality: that of a self-proclaimed epicurean. The artist has even gone so far as to launch an Instagram page dedicated to his culinary news and events, JoeyStarr Food System. And the multi-talented artist has also created his own rum brand, Carnival Sun Juice, proving he’s got what it takes. Drawing on his knowledge of Paris’s best spots, JoeyStarr shows us that not everything happens just “over in Saint-Denis, baby.” So, are you ready to raise a glass, feast, and listen to some great music with Didier Morville?
Go ahead, Joey, tell them…
For this culinary journey, the rapper is banking on authenticity. Joey Starr’s first recommended stop to fill your belly: Le Verre Volé, located at 67 Rue de Lancry in Paris’s 10th arrondissement. The vibe: natural wines and comforting bistro dishes .
On the Left Bank, JoeyStarr recommends L’assiette, located at 181 Rue du Château. At the helm of this restaurant in the 14th arrondissement is chef David Rathgeber, a close friend of the artist, who offers delicious traditional cuisine with a modern twist.
And for a moment of sharing, Joey Starr also likes to pull up a chair at L’avant-comptoir du Groin in the 10th arrondissement. Here, you’ll discover a convivial cuisine crafted by Julien Camdeborde. Settle in at the counter to share some hearty pork dishes and French-style tapas, all in a laid-back atmosphere.

And beyond great restaurants and good food, music remains central to JoeyStarr’s life. It’s only natural that he talks to us about his love for the Fête de la Musique, which he enjoys taking part in every year. And speaking of which, what are JoeyStarr’s top music spots in Paris? To capture the atmosphere of authentic old-school sound systems, the rapper recommends the Twenty 21 Sound Bar. A bar located at 20 Rue de la Forge Royale in the 11th arrondissement, where you can enjoy fine rum (like his artisanal Carnival Sun Juice rum) against a backdrop of urban music.
