About the Vibe
Tucked away on Rue des Boulets in the Nation neighborhood, The Green Goose is your go-to for an authentic Irish pub experience without leaving Paris. This former Italian restaurant has been transformed into a cozy gastropub that serves up solid craft beers and hearty homemade fare. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in with a pint of something local, dig into a proper shepherd’s pie, and feel like you’ve stepped into a Dublin backstreet—even if you’re still in the 11th.

Authentic Irish Pub Vibes in the 11th
The Green Goose hits that sweet spot between a tourist trap and a true neighborhood spot. It’s not fancy, but it’s got soul. The interior feels lived-in and welcoming, with wooden tables, dim lighting, and that classic pub vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The beer list leans heavily on Irish imports, which is exactly what you’d want if you’re craving a proper pint.
Food-wise, they keep it simple but satisfying. The pork belly with sweet potato mash is a standout—rich, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The shepherd’s pie is another solid choice, though it’s not going to win any Michelin stars. Service is friendly, if a bit slow during peak hours, which is par for the course at a busy local pub. It’s the kind of place you’ll find yourself returning to when you just want good food, cold beer, and zero pretense.
