Opened in June 2023 by the Nouvelle Garde group, Brasserie des Prés quickly became a top spot in Paris’ 6th arrondissement. Tucked away in the picturesque Cour du Commerce‑Saint‑André , it spans three levels: a bright ground floor with a kitchen view, a cozy first floor with a bar and pastry workshop, and “Grouvie” on the third – a cocktail bar and mini‑club with DJ for lively evenings .
Decorated with a blend of glass roof, Art Nouveau mosaics, leather and velvet, and contemporary touches, the atmosphere is both elegant and relaxed . The menu celebrates traditional French bourgeois cuisine, crafted from fresh, local, seasonal produce. Dishes include mimosa eggs, leek vinaigrette, pâté en croûte (€14), sausage and mash (€13), foie gras, strawberry‑pistachio tart (€10), frozen tropezienne (€10), sole meunière (€50), grilled sea bass to share (€60 for two), and desserts like Paris‑Brest (€8) .
Adjacent is the Glacier des Prés, offering homemade ice creams and sorbets year‑round . True to its “farm to table” ethos, it sources local ingredients—potatoes from Baie de Somme, mesclun from Seine‑et‑Marne—and processes meats and fish in‑house
Certified Écotable, Collège Culinaire de France, and praised by Le Fooding, it upholds quality, sustainability, and heritage. The clientele is diverse—locals, tourists, food enthusiasts, and groups. It can be partially or fully privatized for up to 170 people, with packages starting at €44‑50 per person .
Service is friendly, though sometimes slow during peak times, with occasional lapses in attention . Reservations are recommended, but a number of walk‑in seats are available at lunch and dinner .
Offering a genuine Parisian experience—18th‑century architecture, warm ambiance, quality homemade cuisine, and vibrant nightlife on the third floor—it’s a gastronomic gem on the Left Bank.
