Chez Georges – Historic Wine Bar, French Dining & Live Jazz in Saint-Germain

Chez Georges has been a beloved Saint-Germain institution since 1952, where classic French cuisine, carefully selected wines and live gypsy jazz come together beneath vaulted stone ceilings. With its intimate cellar, vintage character and timeless Left Bank atmosphere, it remains one of Paris' most authentic late-night addresses.

TLC Paris tip: Reserve in advance if you would like a table during one of the live jazz evenings. Arrive early for wine and conversation upstairs before heading into the candlelit cellar, where the music creates one of the most authentic old-Paris nightlife experiences in Saint-Germain.
