Tiger
Included In
Tiger is a gin lover’s paradise, and that’s not just because there are over 100 different bottles on the menu and 1,000 combinations of the classic gin and tonic. This Saint-Germain-des-Prés bar feels like an actual paradise, thanks to the palm frond wallpaper, teal tiles everywhere, and festive vibes that give off summer even on the darkest Paris days. Order an Oh My Dog (the “Tiger” emblazoned into the ice cube is a nice touch), and a cheese and charcuterie plate from the short menu of bar snacks. Reservations aren’t necessary but are highly recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when everyone near the Sorbonne looks for a classier alternative to all the dive bars in the area.
