Les Bacchantes - Paris Nightlife

This place prides itself on offering more wines by the glass -- at least 90 -- than any other wine bar in Paris; prices range from 2€ to 6€ ($2.60-$7.80). It also does a hefty restaurant trade in well-prepared cuisine bourgeoise. Its cozy, rustic setting -- with paneling, and chalkboards announcing vintages and platters -- attracts theatergoers before and after performances at the Théâtre Olympia, as well as anyone interested in carefully chosen vintages from esoteric or small-scale winemakers. Wines are mainly from France, but you'll also find examples from neighboring countries.
