Atmosphere sur Paris

I ended up going to l'atmosphere purely for a time killing drink while I waited for a dinner reservation at another restaurant, and geez I should have had dinner HERE! Let me count the ways: 1. We arrive without a reservation and waitress #1 (W1 from now on) says there's no tables inside but she looks and notices a table might be freeing up in 10 mins. So she sits us down outside under the rain shade (it was raining) to wait. 2 mins later W1 motions from inside and our table is ready. 2. W1 takes our order of two happy hour cote de rhone red vin, and the place is packed. The attentiveness of W1 and the newly seen Waitress #2 (W2) is really cool to watch. They do not stop checking. It's like they're prison guards with machine guns patrolling the prison fence except instead of machine guns they shoot you with a refill of wine or beer. 3. We order the bread and cheese with honey appetiser ( €10) and the genuine happy to serve energy from W1 is so lovely. 4. There's a big glass punch jar with mysterious liquid in it on the bar and we ask W1 what it is, and she happily tells us it's a rum, lime and cinnamon cocktail and asks if we want to try it. We smile but say no thanks (mistake #1). 5. W2 checks how we're doing 5 mins later and says so funly 'be careful if you taste the rum because you will need an uber afterwards!'. (this is in english as well, which is so nice for us single language speakers). 6. W1 comes back 10 mins later and drops two free shots of the rum on the table for us. And it's damn nice!! We only got an appetiser and wine, not a full meal, so I can't vouch for the main food, but the service was actually impeccable. The genuine joy felt in having us in their establishment was so lovely. Visit L' Atmoaphere!! Josh

A top old bistro atmosphere and good happy hour cocktails

Despite the cheeky cocktails that were available, this felt like a proper French café. All it needed was the whiff of Gitanes and you could be in another time... It was a cold and rainy day, but very cosy inside. Lovely place right by the Canal St Martin.

The atmosphere is great, just opposite the St Martin canal, the cappocino is a delight...super pleasant service, I love this place.

The location is ideal, on the banks of the St Martin canal. The superb setting with its beautiful patina. The reception is rather minimalist. On the other hand, a bar that doesn't offer small nibbles (crisps, olives, peanuts, etc.) to accompany an aperitif (and encourage you to eat boards at full price), is not great. Damage...

Nice place by the canal - dog friendly too 💕

Visited around 3pm on a Thursday, was not busy except for a few tables full in the outside seating area. Staff were not very attentive, a bit of an uncomfortable vibe as there was one man, I think he was a member of staff but i’m not too sure, who was sitting at a table and was watching my friend I during our entire meal. Food was good value for money and restaurant is in a good location. After paying for our meal we sat outside for a while and the man who was watching us inside came to watch us outside so we found this strange and this made us leave earlier than we wanted to. Food is good but atmosphere is not great during their quiet periods when staff are lounging around… .

Tres cosy...wok au saumon très bon, les cocktails aussi. Et service impeccable

Bistrot de quartier. Simple et efficace.

Really good food , friendly staff and a chilled atmosphere
