| Last reviewed: May 2026 Paris Bar is the French-brasserie format Michel Würthle opened on Kantstraße in 1979 and which has functioned as the West-Berlin art-world canteen ever since — the walls covered in works by Martin Kippenberger, Daniel Richter, Jonathan Meese and Albert Oehlen, most of which were paid for in dinner credit. The menu is steak frites, oysters, escargot, the dishes the audience expects from a 1980s Parisian brasserie. The kitchen is competent rather than fine, and that is the point — the room is the meal, the clientele is the meal, the art on the walls is the meal. İstanbullu seconders reads it as a piece of Berlin cultural memory that still functions.
Editor's Tip
Sitting at the bar rather than at a table is the move. The art on the walls is the room — most of the major late-twentieth-century Berlin painters are represented and most are in personal-dedication mode.
