Les Bavards, a talkative bistro with parisian charm
A newcomer near Père-Lachaise, Les Bavards brings the neighborhood brasserie back into the present with a simple idea: traditional French cooking, controlled prices and an atmosphere that works from morning coffee to the last drink. In this lively corner of eastern Paris, the address draws neighborhood regulars as easily as groups of friends extending the apéritif or young professionals looking for an animated bistro where they can settle in without ceremony.
Behind a discreet façade, the décor fully embraces its retro neo-bistro register. Red banquettes, warm wood paneling, vintage posters, gingham tablecloths and a large central counter create a familiar setting, somewhere between the Parisian brasserie of yesterday and the bistro of today. The atmosphere is relaxed, just lively enough, carried by a constant flow that gives the place its rhythm.
In fine weather, the large 60-seat terrace becomes one of the neighborhood’s anchors, especially toward the end of the day, when apéritif hour begins to take over. On the plate, the house offers clear, unfussy, spirited cooking. Well-simmered Burgundian- style eggs meurette set the tone. Fish and chips with tartar sauce follow efficiently, before a classic profiterole with hot chocolate makes a confident return to more nostalgic pleasure.
Another engine of the place: a generous happy hour, which broadens the crowd and keeps the service going late. Les Bavards gets the formula right: a neighborhood bistro very much of the moment, where people come as much to eat as to talk.
