Our favorite addresses in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Strolling along the Seine riverbanks, stopping in front of a new boutique window that makes your heart race, stepping into a confidential boutique, sitting down in a newly opened trattoria, or grabbing a coffee in a legendary Parisian institution… In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Parisian chic never stops reinventing itself. Between iconic addresses and must-visit new spots, the neighborhood remains a constant invitation to wander. Our selection of the best places in Paris 6th arrondissement is right here!

The place: On Rue Bonaparte, the Antoinette Poisson boutique takes you back in time from the very first step inside. Founded by heritage restorers Vincent Farelly and Jean-Baptiste Martin, the brand brings domino paper—the ancestor of wallpaper—back to life, hand-printed and hand-painted just like in the 18th century. You’ll also find delicate fabrics, decorative objects, and stationery that feel straight out of a period salon. Floral patterns, powdery tones, and charming details create this refined setting. The moment you step inside, you’re left in awe… with an irresistible urge to take everything home!

Why go? To add a touch of timeless elegance to your interior. It’s hard to choose, but we love the Marcel wallpaper (€176.40), perfect for elevating a bathroom with a romantic touch. Another favorite: the hand-stitched “Fleurs & Entrelacs” notebook (€35), covered in domino paper, where you’ll want to write your most beautiful love notes. In the living room, the Canton cushion (€151) adds just the right amount of refinement. And for those about to say “I do,” the Coccinelle trunk box (€320) works as a chic and precious keepsake.

Antoinette Poisson, 2 rue Bonaparte, Paris 6e. Open Monday to Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM.

The place: After a year of renovation, the Hôtel Prince de Conti Saint-Germain-des-Prés has been completely redesigned by architect and decorator Éric Allart, breathing new life into this stunning 17th-century building. Expect floral wallpapers, colorful tapestries by Pierre Frey, period and contemporary furniture, baroque details, and an art collection. The mix of styles gives this confidential boutique hotel in Paris a playful and distinctive atmosphere that we love.

Why go? Each of the 23 rooms tells its own story, some located on the ground floor and opening onto a charming French-style garden courtyard with a “bosquet” spirit. There’s no restaurant, but you can enjoy breakfast via room service or in the garden. A cool highlight: the Honesty Bar, where guests can prepare their own cocktails or pour a glass of wine at their leisure. Chic!

Hôtel Prince de Conti Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 8 rue Guénégaud, Paris 6e. +33 1 86 70 84 18. Rooms from €369.

The place: Rubirosa’s cultivates the art of the confidential fashion address that turns heads. Imagined by jewelry designer Lauren Rubinski, the boutique feels like a secret salon, reminiscent of those historic Roman addresses shared only among insiders. With deep red carpet, dark wood furniture, heavy curtains, and a sofa that invites you to linger, the atmosphere is intimate and almost mysterious. Everything feels perfectly curated—even the clients seem to already know this new place by heart.

Why go? For the George V-neck cashmere sweater (€490), a signature piece to wear all year round, available in pop colors that instantly elevate your wardrobe and quickly become an obsession. For the unisex pajamas (€435), perfect for stylish Sunday mornings. For the Jean Paul shirt (€310), a nod to Pope John Paul II—the designer’s grandfather once supplied cotton to the Vatican—perfectly tailored and undeniably chic. On your feet, the Spanish-made leather slippers (€390–€480) complete the look. And for the finishing touch, don’t miss the heart-shaped bag charms (€90), numbered and paired with a lucky message.

Rubirosa’s, 37 rue de Grenelle, Paris 7e. Open Monday to Saturday from 10:30 AM to 7 PM.

Cassaro’s: A new Milanese hotspot in Saint-Germain-des-Prés by Beaumarly, Cassaro’s (25 Rue de Buci, Paris 6th) immerses you in a 1960s dolce vita atmosphere. Lacquered wood, olive green velvet, candles, Murano glass chandeliers, and patterned carpets set the tone. The space, designed by Hugo Cassaro, embraces a retro vibe, soon to be extended by a private club for late-night moments. On the menu: mortadella, stracciatella and pistachio pizzetta (€22), fried calamari with spicy mayonnaise (€17), lobster paccheri (€55), ossobuco (€26), and Italian-style ice cream (€13), best enjoyed with a signature Martini.

Cherry: In an ultra-glamorous version of an Italian-New York trattoria, Cherry (15 Rue du Sabot, Paris 6th) features a décor by Sarita Posada, with lacquered dark wood, chrome touches, velvet, rounded banquettes, and perfectly dressed tables. Stylish Parisians and well-informed travelers gather here for an aperitivo with Sinatra playing in the background, sharing meatballs with tomato sauce and freshly grated parmesan (€25), vitello tonnato (€28), parmigiana (€24), spicy vodka pasta (€35), and lemon veal scaloppine (€34). For dessert: the tiramisu (€15)—simply delicious.

Sant Ambroeus: Just behind Les Deux Magots, Sant Ambroeus (11 Rue Saint-Benoît, Paris 6th) brings its iconic Milanese institution (founded in 1936) to Paris. Designed by Fabrizio Casiraghi, the space features lacquered wood interiors inspired by boat cabins, olive green velvet banquettes, intimate corners, and an impressive bar for a quick pasta. Open all day, it also includes a coffee shop with sandwiches and pastries, including irresistible maritozzi. Among our favorites: linguine with red shrimp, bisque, lemon and cardamom (€36) and ossobuco with crispy saffron risotto (€52). A must to finish: the iconic orange sorbet dusted with raspberry powder.

The place: Moss is one of those multi-brand boutiques in Paris that Saint-Germain regulars keep as a secret. The space is elegant and bright, showcasing a sharp and colorful selection, blending ultra-chic Italian labels with Parisian wardrobe essentials. You can wander between the racks before heading to the shoe area, a true magnet for fashion lovers, where desirable heels and perfect boots are displayed.

Why go? To explore flowing dresses by Etro and Alberta Ferretti, luxury knitwear by Lisa Yang, and perfect denim from Agolde and Citizens of Humanity. On your feet, it’s hard to resist Aquazzura sandals, Gianvito Rossi heels, Francesco Russo designs, or Alberto Fasciani boots. For a more casual touch, Golden Goose sneakers always make an impact.

Moss, 22 Rue de Grenelle, Paris 7th. Open Monday to Saturday from 11 AM to 6:30 PM.

The place: A new Parisian brasserie stirring up Saint Germain, BRASS is the perfect spot for demanding Parisians and travelers looking for a (real) taste of French cuisine. Vintage architecture by Dorothée Meilichzon, and a brilliant menu by Amine Boudali, the setting proves to be as warm as the service. In summer, we love its chic terrace overlooking the Mabillon intersection, and in winter its comforting interior.

Why do we go there? To enjoy the classics like this gratinated onion soup (€9), this bone marrow toast with fleur de sel (€14), and this top-notch duck foie gras (€22). Then come the traditional dishes like the knife-cut sausage and mashed potatoes (€19) or the pepper beef fillet (€33). This summer, seabass tartare, cucumber and granny smith (€22). For dessert, brioche like French toast (€14), soft like a cloud at its center.
To drink? Wine among the 80 references, carefully recommended by the managers.

BRASS, 131 boulevard Saint-Germain, Paris 6e. Open Thursday to Saturday from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday to Wednesday from 12 p.m. to midnight.

The place: Rue Racine. A discreet green door, a black and white checkerboard tile floor, a library full of Gallimard... The Hôtel du Savoir, with decor by Laune Architecture, is a real hideaway for solitary literary types and romantic couples. The soft and quiet atmosphere cuts you off from the Parisian hubbub of the nearby street. Note however: breakfast is taken at the hotel across the street, the Belloy St Germain, where you can also enjoy the lounge and bar.

Why do we go there? A view à la Rear Window that we enjoy day and night, and a desk with crystal decanter and 50s phone that makes you want to write a detective screenplay. The most beautiful room, the “Double Balcony”, lets you admire the city from the rooftops. Victim of its own success, you need a bit of patience to book it! Novels are scattered all over the hotel: no need, then, to carry your own tome.

Hôtel du Savoir, 1 rue Racine, Paris 6e. Double room from €280.

The place: Dress lovers and refined Parisiennes already knew the ultra-feminine wardrobe of Martin Martin. The label founded in 2019 by Capucine Martin has just unveiled its first showcase in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés: a charming boutique with parquet flooring, gilding, and thick curtains to stage equally sophisticated collections.

Why do we go there? To try in real life the wonders of the current collection, like ivory trousers (€300), a sun yellow skirt (€185), a lace set (pants €250), a dress both chic and devilishly sexy with a dizzying neckline, or a shell barrette (€40).

Martin Martin, 95 rue de Seine, Paris 6e. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The place: A stone’s throw from Bon Marché, head to Wani, the baby spot of Japanese chef Sugio Yamaguchi (Botanique) who clearly has a passion for plants.

Option 1: the small bench outside to enjoy the moment under the Paris sky Option 2: take it all to go!

Why do we go there? To drink a matcha organic latte with “homemade almond milk” option (€7) or the hot chocolate from Nicolas Berger (€6.50). We enjoy the insane toast with cow’s tomme and slices of black truffle (€18), or the so chic plant-based madeleine with Caviar (€25)
