Ze Baar, LGBTQ bar and restaurant in the Marais, Paris, France
Ze Baar, also known as Ze Restoo, is an LGBTQ bar and restaurant on Rue des Blancs Manteaux in the Marais neighborhood of Paris. The ground floor holds a bar lounge, while the restaurant side offers classic French comfort food.
The Marais was once a historic Jewish quarter before it gradually became the center of LGBTQ life in Paris from the 1980s onward. Ze Baar opened as part of this newer chapter in the neighborhood's story.
Ze Baar sits in the Marais, the neighborhood in Paris long associated with the LGBTQ community. The bar carries on that tradition by welcoming everyone in a setting where the evening feels relaxed and people can be themselves.
The nearest Metro stop is Rambuteau on line 11, just a short walk away. The place opens in the evening and stays open late into the night on weekends, so it works well for a post-dinner drink or a late night out.
The host Pascal is a known face at the door, greeting guests personally and giving the evening a friendly, almost homely feel. This personal welcome is something many visitors remember long after they have left.
