An unpretentious Clichy pub-bar for drinks and simple fare
Au Rendoir is the sort of place you stumble into after work when you don't feel like cooking or dressing up. It's a pub-bar at heart, with a food offering that's more about satisfying hunger than impressing foodies. Think classic bar fare — the kind of simple, honest plates that go down well with a beer or a glass of wine after a long day. The atmosphere is relaxed and the crowd is mostly locals from the neighborhood, which gives it an authentic, lived-in feel that's increasingly rare in the Paris suburbs.
That said, don't come expecting a gastronomic experience. The TripAdvisor ranking (#133 of 184 in Clichy) tells you this isn't a destination restaurant — it's a convenience spot.
