L'Auberge des Crus

The story

L'Auberge des Crus – Traditional French Cuisine & Wine in Paris 16th | Wattafork

A neighbourhood auberge with a serious wine cellar

Tucked away on rue Bosio in the 16th arrondissement, L'Auberge des Crus offers a return to straightforward, ingredient-driven French cooking. The restaurant describes its own style as "cuisine au beurre" – a generous, butter-centred approach that lets seasonal produce speak. "Les meilleurs produits sont sélectionnés et assemblés généreusement en hommage au terroir français," reads the website. That means classic preparations of the highest-quality market ingredients, changing with the calendar.

The wine list is anything but an afterthought. "Vins de connaisseurs" is the motto, and guests can access the cellar directly to find the perfect bottle to match their meal. This dual focus – honest food and serious wine – earned the address a Michelin Recommended distinction in the 2026 guide.

A short, focused menu, Monday to Friday

L'Auberge des Crus is open for lunch and dinner from Monday through Friday. The menu, though not detailed online, follows the same seasonal, terroir-driven philosophy. The dining room is set up for conviviality: a place to linger over a meal and let the sommelier guide you through a bottle you might not have discovered on your own.

Whether you live in the neighbourhood or are exploring the 16th, this is a spot for a straightforward, well-executed lunch or a relaxed evening with a glass of something exceptional.
