Le Pantruche
Franck Baranger's bistronomy benchmark — Bib Gourmand on a Pigalle backstreet.
Natural-wine and small-plate hotbed — Pantruche, Buvette, Bouillon Pigalle, SoPi revival.
The 9e — Pigalle proper and South Pigalle ('SoPi') — is where the natural-wine generation set up shop in the 2010s. Le Pantruche (Franck Baranger, 2011), Buvette (Jody Williams's New York-Paris bistro), Bouillon Pigalle (the queue-out-the-door classic-bouillon revival), Hardware Société (Australian brunch), Hôtel Amour and Pigalle's small cocktail bars. North up to Place des Abbesses, west to the Folies Bergère stretch. The chapter takes the small-plate dinner in a 30-seat room, the standing-only natural-wine bar at 23:00, and the Sunday brunch that the founders here actually built.
