Au Passage
Half-punk, half-precise — the natural-wine small-plates bistro that rewrote the 11e in 2011.

| Last reviewed: May 2026 The bistro that opened in 2011 in a former passage and quietly set the template for the next decade of natural-wine small-plates rooms across Paris. Au Passage is still itself: chalkboard, a long bar, mismatched tables, a kitchen that runs whatever the morning's market gave it, and a wine list dominated by minimum-intervention bottles at fair prices. Chef Minwoo Lee currently runs the kitchen. It hits buzzy on a Friday and almost convivial mid-week. There's now a sister address — Au Petit Passage, 8 rue de la Main d'Or — running the same playbook at a smaller scale.
Editor's Tip
Order three plates and a bottle, then another. Don't try to plan it.
