A friendly retro-chic bistro blending bistronomic dishes with a lively afterwork vibe.
Description
Opened in October 2021, Les Affranchis is a bistro-brasserie nestled in Paris’s 12th arrondissement, near Bastille and the Coulée Verte. Its retro-chic, wood-accented decor and vintage lighting create a warm atmosphere, ideal from early mornings (café from 7 a.m.) to late nights (open until midnight).
The venue aims to revive the convivial spirit of traditional Parisian cafés, offering a menu of fresh, seasonal products with simple yet refined dishes—homemade burgers, tartares, pizzas (including take-away options), and classic French cuisine with exotic touches.
Weekends feature brunch buffets (sweet and savory, with freshly squeezed juices), while weekdays welcome lunchtime guests and vibrant afterworks during happy hour from 4 to 8:30 p.m. Sports broadcasts animate the atmosphere, making it a go‑to spot for fans.
The clientele is diverse—students, families, colleagues, and friends mingling freely in a space designed for all, with accommodating multilingual staff and a capacity for up to 100 people.
Trivia: “Les Affranchis” reflects freedom and liberation, a vibe visible in its relaxed yet lively atmosphere. Practical info: open daily, 7 a.m. to midnight on weekdays, and until midnight weekends; accessible via Daumesnil metro (lines 6 & 8).
