About the Vibe
De Vie is the brainchild of Alex Francis and Barney O'Kane, the British duo who put Little Red Door on the map. This dual-concept cocktail bar and restaurant on Rue Saint-Sauveur (just off Montorgueil) pairs highly seasonal, ingredient-driven cocktails with a proper kitchen — and it's already landed at #34 on the World's 50 Best Bars list with a Sustainable Bar Award. You come for the drinks, stay for the food, and leave wondering why every bar can't be this good.

Little Red Door's alumni raise the bar — literally
When the team behind Little Red Door — one of Paris's most celebrated cocktail bars — opens a new spot, you pay attention. De Vie, on Rue Saint-Sauveur in the Montorgueil area, is Alex Francis and Barney O'Kane's latest venture, and it's a stunner: a dual-concept space that functions as both a serious cocktail bar and a proper restaurant. The centerpiece is a large ceramic bar where the duo shake up some of the most inventive, seasonal drinks in the city. Think ingredient-driven cocktails that change with the market — not a static menu you'll see on a chalkboard for months.
What sets De Vie apart is the ambition. This isn't just a bar that serves bar snacks; the kitchen holds its own, making it one of the rare Paris spots where the food is as much a draw as the drinks. The space itself is warm and inviting — light wood, ceramic details, an atmosphere that's sophisticated without being stuffy. It's the kind of place where you can start with a cocktail at the bar, move to a table for dinner, and end up back at the bar for a nightcap. Service is knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they pour.
The recognition speaks for itself: #34 on the World's 50 Best Bars list and a Sustainable Bar Award. But what matters is the experience — and it delivers. Come early in the evening if you want a seat at the bar, as it fills up fast, especially on weekends.
