Just steps from Rue de la Roquette, in the heart of Paris’s 11th arrondissement, Giclette embraces the spirit of a natural wine bar that’s as unpretentious as it is generous. No white tablecloths, no fuss — just great glasses of wine, plates full of character, and an atmosphere that instantly feels good.

A Place Full of Life

Giclette is, above all, alive. The owner greets passersby, invites you to settle in at the counter or on the scattered wooden stools, as the room hums with conversations and the sight of perfectly lined-up bottles. The vibe is relaxed, warm, and just a touch noisy — but always welcoming and easygoing.

Straightforward, Honest, Living Wines

The focus here is on natural wines, with a selection that changes constantly based on arrivals and whims. Thanks to a self-service tap system, several wines are offered by the glass, alongside a thoughtfully curated bottle list. Expect a broad spectrum of profiles:

• Sharp, mineral-driven whites
• Supple, fruit-forward reds
• Bright, expressive orange wines
• Lightly filtered sparkling wines

Each glass celebrates a living, vibrant approach to wine — without missing a beat.

Small Plates, Big Ideas

The snack menu evolves according to the chef’s mood and market finds. You might discover:

• Inari and futomaki
• Fresh oysters
• Melt-in-the-mouth cecina
• Perfectly aged cheeses
• Top-quality charcuterie

This is food that enhances the wine, not just something to nibble on — a light, refined dining experience where every bite has purpose.

For Whom, and Why

Whether you stop by for a quick glass after work, a bottle with friends, or a casual dinner, Giclette stays true to its ethos: making natural wine accessible, stripped of any pretension. Prices are fair, the welcome is genuine, and the vibe is effortlessly right.

The only drawback? No reservations. But once you’ve snagged a spot, you won’t want to leave.
