It’s no secret that the 11th arrondissement is not lacking in new, fresh spots to eat or drink. But with so many locations cropping up with international bends, it’s nice to find a place that is hell bent on keeping the one culture that we all love and flock to Paris for: French. Tucked away in a nondescript side street off of the southern end of boulevard Voltaire, À La Française is a very French neighborhood favorite with a twist: incredible craft cocktails at exceptionally reasonable prices. Since the age of 17, owner Stephen Martin has worked in numerous high-profile bars throughout Europe. He saw a lack of the true presence of French culture in bartending, so he has dedicated ALF to the art of classic French cocktails. Going back to the French Racines, perhaps.
