Le Mansart

With its large terrace and the small army of young, mustachioed men wearing lumberjack shirts that fill it, Mansart wears its hipster credentials proudly – not surprising given its location in the heart of trendy SoPi –South Pigalle. Inside it’s packed, with people elbowing each other to get to the bar, and music so loud it’s hard to make yourself heard when you do get there. Inevitably, it's not particualrly cheap, but it does have table football, rare in Parisian bars – though this gets oversubscribed as well. Unless you've money to burn and sharp elbows, come early to enjoy the beautiful décor over a quiet glass of wine before it gets busy.
