L'Entr'acte

A little detour off avenue de l'Opéra, down an 18th-century staircase, and you find an unexpected congregation spread across the pavement: half are here for this little bar near the Comédie Française, half for the adjoining Sicilian pizzeria. There's food to be had at L'Entr'acte too - €10 plates of cheese and charcuterie, standard pastas and so on - but most come to enjoy an early evening glass of house Bourgueil. The interior is tiny, with an equally poky basement, but there's free Wi-Fi and even laptop loans.
