Bistrot littéraire Les Cascades

Top 😇

A great neighborhood haunt. Caroline maintains it as a tolerant and friendly bazaar of conviviality. Fresh roses, good cheap meals and blizzards of conversation await the habituees, whether they have lived thirty years in the nabe or just flew in from Oslo or Dakar.

I stumbled upon Bistrot Littéraire Les Cascades after a summer of backpacking around Europe. My flight home was in a few hours so I had a final day to walk around Paris. I am so glad that I got to spend my last day at this place. My drink was great, the service helpful and warm, and the ambience complete with excellent music (Mazzy Star). The most beautiful part though was seeing how enjoyed it was by the community. I loved being able to watch so many different types of people enjoy such a beautiful space. We need more places like it.

We just had a beer but really enjoyed this place. Relaxed and friendly bartender. Nice live blues. Good beers.

Nice little corner between Pyrénées and Ménilmontant, very friendly staff and patrons, serve food and drinks (cheap), live music. Very local.
