Bistro-restaurant in Paris preparing an amazing cuisine, a red mullet, a foie gras and spinach very pleasant.
Located just next to the Cirque d'Hiver, this bistro, classified as a Historic Monument, was in the 18th century the haven of circus artists. The decor is really worth a look: full of colour, it lovingly recalls the best memories of our childhood. Mosaics, frescos, orange and yellow tiles, sad clown or grotesque clown displaying their faces on the painted ceiling fixed under glass, the place is unique in Paris. Sven Chartier and Ewen Lemoigne from Saturn Restaurant have taken up this neighbourhood legend. You can taste excellent wines before tasting an astonishingly varied cuisine: breaded bulbs, yes, they do exist and they are good. Red mullet, foie gras and spinach are just as curious but very pleasant in fine.

Members' reviews on LE CLOWN BAR
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
We came here to dine on the last night of our Paris holiday. It came highly recommended, not only online, but from our friends/family who have had stellar meals here as well.
All in all we had a wonderful meal. We were told the head chef is Korean, and we could see the Asian influences in each dish.
With the above being said however, I don’t think we’d come back if we were to vacation in Paris again.
This is because we had better meals at the same or more competitively priced. Plus, there are just so many other restaurants we would like to try or revisit.
Ultimately, we’d recommend for anyone to try Le Clown bar. Objectively, it is a well put together menu and the flavors were novel and exciting!
