In addition to commonly sought-after regions and grape varieties, they also feature unique French local wines that can be paired appropriately with menu items in various portion sizes.
The editor had a fresh French white wine that paired beautifully with pre-meal olives. Its pleasant minerality and acidity made it an excellent aperitif that enhanced the overall dining experience.

Le Fumoir provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in French culinary culture within a classic and refined atmosphere. Despite its proximity to major tourist attractions like the Louvre Museum, it retains an authentic local charm that has earned it a strong reputation among Parisians themselves.
Special Points
At French restaurants, the quality of bread often reflects the establishment’s standards, and Le Fumoir’s bread does not disappoint. its crispy crust and moist interior are exceptional. Among the editor's selected dishes was the kimchi tartare, which was delicately and elegantly prepared. However, menu offerings may vary depending on the season. Desserts here are also highly recommended for their delightful sweetness, offering a perfect conclusion to any meal.
As both a restaurant and bar, Le Fumoir offers a balanced space where people of all ages can enjoy various beverages alongside high-quality food.
