Which Parisian brasseries belong to La Nouvelle Garde?

Brasserie Bellanger, in the 10th, and Brasserie des Prés, in Odéon, are part of the Nouvelle Garde group, alongside Martin and Dubillot. They share the same spirit of modern brasserie at contained prices.

Where can I find a brasserie open all day or late at night?

Brasserie Bellanger serves continuously from 9am to midnight, seven days a week, handy for an early dinner with children or a late one after a show. Justine, in Oberkampf, is also a good late-evening spot before a concert at the Nouveau Casino.

Which brasserie for a rooftop or summer terrace?

Auteuil Brasserie, in the 16th, hides a rooftop terrace like a flowered garden. Brasserie Bellanger and Brasserie Barbès offer fine street-level terraces much in demand in fine weather.

Are there affordable brasseries in the selection?

Yes. Brasserie Bellanger and Café du Commerce rely on well-sourced classics at reasonable prices. Magdalena, on place de la Madeleine, plays a chicer, more gastronomic card.

Do these brasseries cover several neighbourhoods?

Yes, from the Left Bank with Brasserie des Prés in Odéon to Barbès, via the passage des Panoramas with Astair, the 15th with Café du Commerce, Oberkampf with Justine and the 16th with Auteuil.
