    Great service! Even if you don't know about wine, the owner/ master will guide you through what you're looking for. We had a bottle/person and the price was still surprisingly reasonable. The numbers on the bottles are the prices.

    Wow. Such a well priced selection of wines, especially given the knowledge and passion of the owner Laurent. Excellent cheese and charcuterie selection. Amazing French wines. But the daily Quiche, wow never had it so good. Trust the sommelier and enjoy the experience like no other wine bar I have been to in Paris.

    Cannot recommend this wine bar enough. I had the best wine from the owners recommendation, locals cheeses from around France, amazing cured meats and an amazing experience for both locals and travelers alike. The service was extraordinary which is sometimes hard to come by in Paris and the owner speaks French, English, and Spanish which makes ordering a breeze. Loved the pairing of cheeses, you can really taste the thought and love that went into the selection of what to include on the charcuterie board which tells the story and easily is the best I’ve ever had. merci beaucoup!

    A fantastic stop for any tourists looking for a fun wine tasting! The wine connoisseur was incredibly friendly and helpful. We only have a mild understanding of French and he was happy to help us with it or to talk English. The location is great if you're in the area for the train stations and it's open late.

    Excellent wine and a delightful experience tasting wines. We purchase wine by the glass and each time we described what we would like and our host provided three options to taste blindly. We picked what we liked best and that’s what we got. It was a great way to taste regional wines and drink based on preference vs price or name. I will be back!

    Wine Therapy is like my home away from home. It is a ritual to visit Wine Therapy every time I'm in Paris. After not being back for a few years (due to COVID), the spirit of Wine Therapy is unchanged - Laurent maintains his usual warm, friendly, and hospitable glow. Despite handling the entire restaurant alone on a crowded night, Laurent still manages to keep up the Wine Therapy experience, which I have not found anywhere else. For newcomers, Laurent does a blind 3-wine taste test, allowing you to select which wine you like best. Afterwards, he tells you about each wine, which is a great learning process. I highly recommend Wine Therapy as a place not to be missed on your next Paris visit. Until next time, my friend!

    This was the best wine tasting experience I've had. The owner was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us a lot about French wines. The local cheeses were delicious and I'm glad we saved room for dessert. This was a perfect end to a perfect day in Paris.

    What I love about places like this is that it is not the typical tourist spot. While dining - there were friends laughing over a bottle of wine and a family with their kids. It really felt like home. The owner was magnificent and was very well versed in his wine collection. The meat and cheese board was fantastic and paired so well with each other. Would I come here again? Probably not- only because Paris is too big to eat at the same place twice when we come! If I lived here- I could imagine being here on a Saturday night with my husband sharing a bottle of wine talking about life.

    A wonderful wine bar that’s very welcoming, friendly and unpretentious. A great place for a glass of wine along with some cheese and meats or a slice of the owner’s homemade quiche (which was delicious!) If you’re unsure of what to go for, the owner is happy to take time and talk through what you enjoy before offering a blind tasting of different wines based on what you like.

    this place is a MUST visit in Paris. Laurent is an excellent owner. He personally serves every customer and shares his depth of knowledge in such an exciting way. He made our visit so unique. He gave us three wines to blind taste test based on our favorite wines and showed us on the map what area they are from. We ordered the charcuterie board that was amazing as well. After we ate/drink, we ended up staying and talking to Laurent for another hour because his company was so great. Truly a charming and quaint wine bar.

    Laurent gave us one of our best nights in Paris! He is incredibly knowledgeable about wine and cheese and tells you everything about where the food and wine is from in France. The whole experience was amazing and we’re so glad we stopped in! Laurent is so kind and caring, truly a star!

    Had an amazing time at Wine Therapy, after a long hot day, we were greeted with friendly and attentive service and genuine interest on what was the best wine for us and what would we enjoy to try. As expected the wine was really nice and the charcuterie platter was delicious too alongside the bread. We were really keen to go back again but it was closed on Sunday otherwise would have definitely been back whilst still in Paris. If you enjoy a nice glass of wine then I definitely think you will like this place.

  • 5/5 Julian 9 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    There is not much to add to the glowing reviews of this place. A hidden gem in an already very entertaining city. Always a good sign when the owner works behind the bar himself, wine is great and the platters are nicely arranged. I'd definitely recommend this place above the bigger and busier bars in the area.

  • 5/5 LouAnn C. 4 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    A special neighborhood spot. The owner ensured everyone was taken care of. You can tell it’s a place frequented by locals. The wines were delicious as well as the cheese plate. Next time in Paris we’ll be back.

  • 5/5 Jenessa Ho X. 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    I really love the atmosphere - just a cozy relaxing environment to drink wine and have the perfect quiche and the mixed cheese/meat platter during winter. Owner is very attentive and helpful to explain each wine and dish. He speaks perfect English so definitely friendly for tourists. Will come back again!

  • 5/5 Kristine C. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Definitely one of my favorite wine bars in Paris! The owner is very friendly and personable. I came here with friends. We shared a really lovely and memorable red wine. See photo. The selection is small and well curated. I’m a fan of natural wines. This wine was right up my alley. …and if you order by the glass, you get to try a taste of three wines before you settle on your favorite, which I thought was a unique and thoughtful touch. Highly recommend if you are in town! Also get the quiche! I wasn’t a quiche fan at all. Now I dream about a slice of quiche and a glass of red from this place! Literally!

  • 5/5 H. F. 1 month ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Worth a visit if you like to extend your horizon. Laurent has a nice selection of wines, you get 3 wines to choose from. Nice little dishes pair with the wine. Great time, good entertainment.

  • 5/5 Johana E. 1 month ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Wonderful ambiance, people, and of course wine! I took a bottle of my favorite home. There's genuine passion for wine that makes it special. Yummy cheese and snacks too! I hope to come back :)

    We were staying at a hotel a couple blocks away from Wine Therapy and visited on a whim. It was our favorite spot for a leisurely and fun pre-dinner glass (or two!) of wine. Laurent is the owner and man behind the bar - he is so kind and knowledgeable about wine. He made our experience so fun, we visited twice during our stay in Paris! He asks what type of wines/flavors/profiles/etc. you enjoy in wines, and he will sample a few for you to try, then you pick the one you like best to have a glass of. It was so fun to learn about wine this way and get exposed to wines I wouldn't have otherwise tried or selected. Whether you are a wine-lover or just curious, this is a fun and approachable way to enjoy a glass and learn about wine. We loved Wine Therapy and our Wine Therapist!

  • 5/5 Arsen's T. 1 year ago on Google
    AMAZING!! Small and cozy atmosphere, owners are both very hands on! They told us all about the wines, cheeses and meats they offered. Food was delicious. They recommended places for us to visit in France (which we will be visiting tomorrow!) Thank you guys for the great night! If you're in Paris you have to check it out. It is a hidden gem!!

  • 1/5 A M. 9 months ago on Google
    Extremely rude customer service. Let me start off by saying I do not usually write bad reviews about small businesses but I was so shocked at this mans manners that I just had to. I would not recommend that any foreigners visit this bar because the staff are very impolite and lack customer service skills. As we were walking past, we asked the young staff member if I could use the toilet to which he agreed and showed me where it was. It was very obvious that we were not planning on sitting in and ordering anything yet he still agreed. Whilst my friends were waiting, they were contemplating ordering a drink. However, the man pictured, approached them very rudely and and made some very patronising comments due to the fact we had used the toilets without buying anything. If the young staff member had refused us when I asked, we would have walked off with no complaints. I understand that small businesses have policies that only allow paying customers to use the toilet, but if he had approached us politely then we would have brought something out of courtesy. He asked us ‘where do you come from?’ with a very aggressive tone of voice which was so racist due to the fact we are people of colour. Places like this do not deserve business and the boss laurant has some very bad karma coming for him.

    Went here tonight before dinner. The owner served us and was super lovely. Educated us on wine and was happy to give us tasters. He knew exactly what to give us. Very good value also. Would defo recommend

    A hidden gem in Paris! The owner is very friendly and helpful. The wines he presents are always exquisite and the accompaniments even more so. Perfect ambience, great if you like wine and want to have an informal and relaxed dinner.

  • 5/5 Melissa 1 year ago on Google
    my friend and I had so much fun here speaking with owner while drinking delicious wine! thanks for the great conversation and wine recommendation, we look forward to coming back!

  • 5/5 Amy W. 2 years ago on Google
    We found this wine bar on our last night in Paris. It was so interesting to learn about the different French wines- and to taste them. The owner, who is extremely knowledgeable, has created a cosy wine bar, not to be missed.

  • 5/5 Shubham S. 2 years ago on Google
    Best wine tasting experience in Paris!! Cheers!! What a host, memorable experience

  • 5/5 Matt B. 2 years ago on Google
    We arrived late in the night but still wanted a good glass of wine. The owner was very kind/accommodating and even allowed us to sample a few wines before making a choice. The cheese and meat pairings were also excellent, highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Rémy-Christophe S. 5 years ago on Google
    Unexpected random discovery. Yet another wine bar? No! The owner is very welcoming and really tries to find the wine you like, not the wine you think you like. I would gladly come back there!

  • 5/5 Koene R. 4 years ago on Google
    The best therapy-experience one can have 🍷🧀

  • 5/5 Kingsley M. 4 years ago on Google
    We were absolutely delighted with the attention to detail and the explintation of the French wines. We were able to sample 3 wines that closely matched our preference and to then choose that which we preferred. Matching this with the wonderful pate and cheese made this an absolute delight. When we are next in Paris this will definately be our to do list.

  • 5/5 Ben C. 4 years ago on Google
    Convenient location offer good choices of wines, French mainly. The owner friendly gives some options to taste until satisfied for your own choice. Reasonable price, and provide some cold cut as such simple meal to wash down with the drinks.

  • 5/5 Flavie L. 5 years ago on Google
    What a hidden gem! The owner was beyond pleasant and made us discover delicious wines from all over France. So glad we found this place. The cheese and cold cuts platter was well balanced and tasty.
