Les Compagnons de la Grappe

Forget stuffy wine bars. Here, you push the door for the brick décor, but you stay for the hidden terrace that seems suspended outside time. It's the perfect place to let the aperitif linger: you order a sharing board, you browse the (very) generous wine list, and you enjoy the warm bustle. Between bursts of laughter, the intimate courtyard setting does all the work... Ideal for a first drink that doesn't dare say its name or for catching a complicit glance over a glass of red.

My reliable bet for unwinding.

We ended up hesitating between two reds with my neighbour at the table while the bar was packed. The waiter made us try the same one saying: 'Apparently, you both have the same doubts.' We ended up ordering the bottle between us and talking about our worst holiday memories. That's the kind of unplanned connection I love here.
