My Take: Le Kléber is one of those classic Parisian brasseries which is simply very authentic, local, and good! I love the laid back vibe and friendly atmosphere. The decor has a somewhat art nouveau feel, which is unique and very alluring. I love going to Le Kléber to catch up with friends over some wine and a snack, because the venue feels very Parisian and modestly cool. The Scene: A lot of young Parisians frequent Le Kléber for drinks and conversation with friends, while a somewhat older crowd goes for dinner. The vibe is very warm and comfortable; friends and couples are all engaged in conversation. Inside, the checkered dining room floor combined with wooden walls and hanging lights makes for a very interesting decor, while maintaining the French feel. Cocktails & Cuisine: Le Kléber has a relatively big cocktail menu; also, needless to say about a French brasserie, plenty of wine! The traditional French cuisine here is also very popular with the locals, which says a lot about the quality and taste! Prices: The prices are pretty inexpensive for the area; a large glass of wine (25 cl) goes for 7 euros, cocktails for 8 euros, and dinner at around 25 per person. What to Wear: Even though it’s a very casual feel, the clientele dresses with a hint of chic; an added scarf, statement necklace, just something to spice up their outfits. Even though it’s not required to dress nicely, sweatshirts aren’t common here either, so try to find a combination of comfortable yet stylish! Insider Info/When to go: On Thursdays, a live jazz band plays, which is sure to be a fun night!
