5e Cru is a small, inconspicuous restaurant located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. Its name sounds a little mysterious. In fact, the word ‘Cru’ stands for ‘growth’ in French. This term is used in wine trade and may refer to wines, wineries, vineyards etc. So if you’d like a glass of fine wine, this modest place won’t let you down.
The restaurant is a small Parisian wine merchant. It’s a great place with large selection of wine and of course something to eat. Though the place is shabby-looking, the wine list compensates the décor. The prices are wallet-friendly so you won’t regret the visit.
There is traditional blackboard menu, which suits the general look of the place. One may think that small amount of dishes served there is a big minus and also fits the décor. But: firstly, those dishes are really good, and secondly, it’s the wine that plays the main role here. And there 5e Cru has another surprise – no corkage fee.
