Tucked away on a charming side street in the heart of Saint-Germain, La Compagnie Saint Germain is a cozy yet sophisticated wine bar that perfectly embodies the spirit of discovery and craftsmanship. Part of the celebrated Experimental Group—renowned for redefining hospitality through their speakeasies, wine bars, and restaurants across Paris and beyond—this hidden gem offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with dim lighting, wooden accents, and an impressive wall of wine bottles.
The wine selection is both diverse and thoughtfully curated, featuring everything from hidden treasures crafted by passionate, lesser-known winemakers to prestigious grands crus, ensuring there’s something for every palate. For those hesitant to commit to a full bottle, the generous by-the-glass options are ideal. Adding a playful twist, the “mystery wine” challenge invites guests to guess the wine correctly for a chance to win a bottle.
To complement the wines, the menu offers a selection of delectable small plates perfect for sharing. Highlights include premium charcuterie and cheeses—such as pata negra and comté—as well as indulgent bites like lobster tarama and artichoke hearts with smoked burratina.
The knowledgeable and friendly staff are always happy to guide you toward the perfect pairing, making this a welcoming destination even for wine novices. With regular events spotlighting new wines and vineyards, La Compagnie Saint Germain is more than just a wine bar—it’s a hub of conviviality, exploration, and the shared joy of exceptional flavors.
