Le Baratin

Le Baratin is a small restaurant on Rue Jouye-Rouve where Argentine chef Raquel Carena prepares French dishes using refined cooking techniques. The space seats around 36 guests and features a daily changing blackboard menu based on available ingredients.

The restaurant was established in the 1990s with a focus on quality cooking and artisanal wine production. Its location in the 20th arrondissement has maintained this approach to straightforward French food for decades.

The restaurant draws locals and professional chefs who value its commitment to French cooking and natural wines. It has become a gathering place for people who appreciate straightforward, well-made food.

Reservations are necessary given the small size of the restaurant and its popularity. The venue typically opens Tuesday evening and Wednesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner service.

Co-owner Philippe Pinoteau specializes in sourcing wines from small, independent producers that operate outside mainstream distribution. His selection reflects a personal quest for lesser-known labels and direct relationships with winemakers.
