Combat

Margot Lecarpentier—a former lawyer who retrained as a bartender in New York—runs this Belleville venue with a sustainability focus and a cocktail programme that now extends into her role as head mixologist for the Alain Ducasse Group. The Minto Martini, built with gin, sake, pear, dry vermouth, and peppermint, captures a style that balances botanical complexity with approachable construction. Exposed brick, bright yellow tiling, and foliage ceiling give the room an energy that Lecarpentier's expanding influence across Paris gastronomy only amplifies.
