Le Clown Bar

Once the haunt of circus performers from the nearby Cirque d’Hiver, Clown Bar’s dining room, with its iconic clown murals, glass-paneled ceiling, and polished zinc bar, has been classified as a historic monument since 1995. Today, Chef Sota Atsumi brings a modern edge to its nostalgic setting with a short, seasonal menu that ranges from pigeon and venison to smoked eel, oysters, and standout charcuterie. The exceptional natural wine cellar, among the most extensive in France, perfectly complements a meal that blends artistry, heritage, and innovation.
