L'Athena sur Paris

09/07/2025: La Terrasse des Métiers stands out as a discreet haven in the heart of Paris, a bistro and bar where simplicity blends with a certain unpretentious elegance. Natural light gently floods the space, revealing a warm and soothing decor. It's easy to linger, lulled by the murmur of conversation and the clinking of glasses, in an atmosphere that invites you to take a break and enjoy simple pleasures. The drinks are carefully selected: the beers are well-drawn, the wines are unpretentious, and served with precision. The bar, modest but welcoming, exudes the convivial atmosphere typical of fine Parisian establishments where one comes to relax after a long day. Yet, despite this pleasant setting, the service tempers the experience. The bald, bespectacled waiter, omnipresent, is distinguished by a reserved, almost distant attitude. Never a smile, never a word too many, he navigates between the tables with a cold efficiency that can leave an impression of indifference. It's not rudeness, but a certain rigor that, here, seems to draw a boundary with customers rather than a bridge. La Terrasse des Métiers thus offers a refuge for lovers of fine drinks in a pleasant setting, but this overly austere service somewhat dampens the warmth one would expect from such a place. An experience both gentle and contrasting, which leaves one wanting to return, while hoping for a warmer welcome.

17/06/2025: It's always a pleasure to come to La Terrasse des Métiers! The atmosphere is friendly, but what keeps us coming back every time is the exceptional service. Special mention to the waitress, who is just the best: welcoming, smiling, fast, and always in a good mood. We love her energy! It's clearly thanks to her that we come back again and again. Congratulations to the whole team, and especially thank you to this rare gem in the dining room!
