Abricot is the kind of place that sneaks up on you — a fully vegan cocktail bar on Rue Saint-Maur that punches well above its weight, run by women who clearly know their way around a shaker. The cocktails are seasonal, creative, and genuinely original (try the Bruja Bonita), and the weekend boozy brunch has become a neighborhood ritual. Nominated for Best Cocktail Bar 2024 and featured in Condé Nast and Time Out, this is Belleville's coolest pour.
A fully vegan, women-owned cocktail bar on Rue Saint-Maur serving original seasonal drinks and a weekend boozy brunch that's become a Belleville ritual.
Reservations are only for groups of 6+, so walk in early on weekends — the boozy brunch from 11h fills up fast and the space is intimate.
Vegan cocktails done right in the 10th
Abricot is one of those bars that makes you rethink what a cocktail bar can be. Tucked into the 10th on Rue Saint-Maur, this fully vegan spot is run by women, for everyone — and the energy is exactly what you want from a neighborhood bar: warm, a little cheeky, and unpretentious. The cocktail program is the real draw. They rotate seasonal creations alongside signatures, and the Bruja Bonita is a standout — original, balanced, and the kind of drink you'll want to order twice. HappyCow reviewers called the cocktails "particularly original," and they're not wrong.
What sets Abricot apart beyond the drinks is the food. Everything is plant-based, and on weekends they've expanded into savory dishes that go well beyond bar snacks. The boozy brunch (from 11h on Saturdays and Sundays) has become a thing — pancakes, cocktails, and a crowd that knows to show up early. It's not cheap (The Infatuation lists it as €€€€), but you're paying for quality ingredients and serious mixology, not just vibes.
The space is intimate — "feutré," as one reviewer put it — which means you'll want to arrive early on weekends or come on a weeknight when it's calmer. Reservations are only accepted for groups of six or more, so smaller parties should just walk in. Open Monday through Thursday from 6pm, with late hours on weekends. If you're looking for a cocktail bar in Paris that's doing something genuinely different, this is it.
