Paris Bar
What the experts agree on
Paris Bar trades on its storied past as Berlin's intellectual haunt, now a classic French bistro with art-laden walls and prestigious wine list that evokes old West Berlin sophistication—though the food plays it safe.
“After near-fatal brush with bankruptcy, this legendary West Berlin bistro still holds court as the choice salon for iconic artists and cinema stars.”
