The Cambridge Public House Paris

The Cambridge Public House sits on Rue de Poitou, a ten-minute walk from the Musée Picasso. It holds the no. 18 spot on The World’s 50 Best Bars.

The venue takes a traditional French approach that feels different from the boisterous wine bars found throughout Le Marais. While the area holds quick-stop bistros and casual storefronts, this room requires a slower pace. The room runs smart and elegant, making it the choice when you want the precision of fine dining service without the stiff formality common to nearby venues. It succeeds because it treats the bar as a primary location rather than a transition point, offering a level of focus missing from the hurried cafes a few blocks away.
