Aux Deux Amis
Tucked away on rue Oberkampf in the 11th arrondissement, Aux Deux Amis is the kind of spot you stumble into and instantly feel like you're in the know. A favorite among locals, creatives, and natural wine lovers, this casual neo-bistro delivers bold, unfussy small plates that change daily—rooted in French tradition but not afraid to riff. Think beef tartare spiked with gochujang, or seared steak paired with leeks and cracked pepper.
The vibe is effortlessly cool—cracked tiles, hand-scrawled menus, and a standing-room-only bar buzzing with conversation. The natural wine list leans funky and French, perfect for slow sipping between bites.
Why Go: For a true slice of contemporary Paris—laid-back, seasonal, and playfully subversive with its flavors.
