Donna

Tucked away near the Centre Pompidou in the heart of Le Marais, Donna stands out as a refreshing escape from the area’s typical tourist fare. This spirited wine bar brings together natural wines, inventive small plates, and an unmistakably vibrant atmosphere that draws locals and visitors alike looking for something a bit more special.

The wine selection here leans heavily into natural and biodynamic bottles, with enthusiastic young sommeliers eager to guide you through options like red blends from Languedoc-Roussillon. Pair your glass with thoughtfully prepared dishes—think tuna tartare delicately dressed with fresh herbs and berries, or a generous portion of spaghetti alle vongole brightened with an unexpected grapefruit sauce that adds a welcome tartness.

What makes Donna particularly memorable is how it transforms as the evening progresses. The chef working the open kitchen eventually trades his apron for dancing shoes as a DJ takes over, shifting the energy from intimate dinner spot to buzzing social scene. It’s the kind of place where you can comfortably linger at the bar, watch the action unfold, and let the night take you wherever it goes.

Whether you’re seeking a sophisticated date night or simply want to mingle with a stylish Parisian crowd over excellent wine, Donna delivers on all fronts. Come ready to discover new bottles, share some plates, and stay a little longer than you planned.
