YARD CAVE

WHO
Backed by English grocer-curator Culinaries, Clovis Ochin (on wine) and Svante Forstrorp (on the grill) took over this beloved 11th arrondissement wine bar.

FOOD
Swedish chef Svante turns out perfectly executed neo-bar food with a twist such as:
- Addictive cacio e pepe arancini (€2/each)
- Crunchy asparagus in broth (€9)
- Crispy fried chicken (€8)
- Tasty Pita with sautéed mushrooms and pesto (€10)
- Ripe Saint Nectaire cheese (€9)

DRINKS
As one of the ringleaders of the Parisian natural wine scene, expect nothing but the best natural wines such as Auvergne winemaker Patrick Bouju’s A La Natural red (€6 per glass) or sparkling Festejar rosé (€8 per glass) or Spanish white Partida Creus (€32 per bottle).

DECOR
Hip, hip, hip, owing to the glass-encased wine shelves and vast array of Hip Hop albums on display.

NOISE
The A to Z of R&B and Hip Hop on a loop.

SEATING
Bar stools for all.

VIBE
Boisterous and fun due to the excellent music selection and tasty easy-to-eat food.

RESTROOMS
Large and clean.

SERVICE
Fun, partying staff who alternate between serving wine and flipping records.

WOULD RECOMMEND
For rowdy foodies who love Biggie.
