Au Coin

Au Coin is as much wine bar as it is a café, and the menus reflect that balance. The food offering stays compact and deliberate—pantry plates, pizzas, and a rotating set of warm dishes—but it’s built to support drinking, not distract from it. Salads, charcuterie, anchovies, stracciatella, and focaccia are sized for the table, while dishes like lasagna al flame, pastina in brodo, and roast chicken keep things anchored once the night stretches on.

Pizza plays a central role. Julien Navarro’s sourdough base supports restrained combinations, from margherita to blue cheese and sausage, designed to pair easily with what’s in the glass.

The wine list leans heavily toward fresh, low-intervention bottles chosen for drinkability rather than rarity, with enough range to move from aperitif to late evening. Cocktails follow the same logic: classic structures, minimal ingredients, clean execution. Nothing ornamental, nothing overworked, but the beauty of this bar is undeniable.
