About the Vibe
Tucked on the leafy Place Richard Baret in Batignolles, Augustin has quietly become the neighborhood's go-to brasserie. It strikes that rare balance of feeling like your local café while serving genuinely solid food—think generous portions, fresh salads, and burgers that don't skimp on quality. The space works on two levels: grab a table on the sunny terrace for people-watching, or cozy up inside where the modern decor keeps things crisp without feeling cold. What sets it apart is the consistency. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee, meeting friends for an apéro, or settling in for a proper dinner, Augustin delivers without pretension. The menu leans French but isn't stuck in the past—there's room for vegetarian options and the cocktails hold their own. It's the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to because it just works.

Solid neighborhood brasserie with a sunny terrace
Augustin has carved out a solid reputation in Batignolles as the neighborhood brasserie that doesn't try too hard. Walk in and you'll find a space that's modern without being sterile, with a terrace that's perfect for sunny afternoons on Place Richard Baret. The menu hits the sweet spot—generous portions of classic French bistro fare mixed with crowd-pleasers like burgers and fresh salads. Nothing here is groundbreaking, but everything is done well and consistently.
Service is friendly and efficient, which matters when you're trying to squeeze in a quick lunch or linger over drinks with friends. The cocktails are surprisingly good for a neighborhood spot, and they've got vegetarian options that don't feel like an afterthought. It's not fancy, but it's exactly what a local brasserie should be: reliable, welcoming, and the kind of place where you'll start recognizing the regulars.
