Les Artistes, French restaurant in Paris, France
Les Artistes is a French restaurant in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, close to rue d'Alésia. The dining room has simple wooden furniture, soft lamp light, and framed pictures on warm-toned walls, with a small outdoor terrace for meals when the weather allows.
The building stands on a street corner that saw a wave of small brasseries appear in the mid-20th century to serve local residents and workers. Over time, the space kept its modest bistro structure while adapting its kitchen to modern French comfort food.
The name points to the artistic spirit of the surrounding streets, where painters and writers once gathered. Today the walls show vintage posters and drawings, giving diners a sense of sitting in a neighborhood living room rather than a formal dining hall.
The seating area is divided between an indoor room and a terrace, with most tables reached by a short step from the entrance. Visitors with reduced mobility may find the terrace easier to use, and the staff are ready to help with arrangements if needed.
The kitchen stays open until two in the morning, which is uncommon for a neighborhood bistro of this size. Guests can order a full plate of duck or polenta long after most nearby kitchens have closed their stoves.
