Aux Deux Amis, Café in the 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
Aux Deux Amis is a café on Rue Oberkampf in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. It has a long bar with a shiny surface, colorful seats, and walls lined with large mirrors.
The place started as a simple spot where locals would stop for a drink or a chat. Over time it became a fixture in the neighborhood, gaining a reputation for natural wines and honest cooking.
Aux Deux Amis is known for its selection of natural wines, listed in chalk on the large mirror behind the bar. The list changes regularly to reflect what small producers are currently offering.
The café is a short walk from the Oberkampf metro station and easy to reach on foot. It fills up quickly in the evenings, so arriving earlier tends to give you more room to settle in.
Since August 2018, the café has opened only in the evenings and dropped its lunch service entirely. The cooking has been shaped by a chef who trained in London, bringing influences that you would not necessarily expect in a place that looks this unassuming.
