Waiters dressed in matching dungarees, locals mingling with tourists, delectable fares and drinks, we love Le Bar du Marché.

Just around the corner from Cours des Halles market, sits this unique bar that opens up to the hussle and bustle of St-Germain-des-Prés. The atmosphere appears to be something out of a Parisian rom-com film - easy attitute, drinks on constant repeat, and waiters camera ready.

Ironically, depsite its picture perfect feel and the touristy area, this is not a tourist trap, the locals here outnumber the tourists a few times over. 

The cuisine at Le Bar du Marché is simple but also tasty and comforting. For starters do try the semi-cooked foie gras with toast or a plate of herrings and apples in oil. Then move over to a beef sashimi accompanied with a risotto dauphine in Cantal. And do be sure to check out the wine list as it is well-edited and pairs well with the menu, and is affordably priced. 

Over all, this little restaurant and bar is quite the find for an area so overloaded with tourist traps.
