Magnum La Cave — Restaurant in Paris

What a great place!

I was in Paris looking for a wine bar to conclude the few days i had spent there. I found MAGNUM by accident, and thougt it looked cozy. Once me and my friends got there, I knew we had made the right choice!

First of all, the selection of wine is out of this world! There's literally something for everyone at MAGNUM! A recommendation would be to try one of their orange wines. They're so good!

Second of all, the overall aesthetic of the place is very nice and down to earth. Some of the wines that they serve are displayed on shelves throughout the interior of the bar, and sometimes they pick them off the shelves, and serve them directly to you! We thought that was kind of cool.

Third, the customer service is fantastic. I didn't quite catch their names, but the 2 gentleman that served us were very professional and helpful. They guided us excellently through the menu, and helped us pick out our wines for the evening. On top of that, they were more than willing to answer any questions about the wines, which made the overall experience much for immersive and fun!

MAGNUM gets an easy 5 starts from me! I even told them that I would return to their establishment, should I ever find myself in...

As someone who has traveled extensively and visited Paris multiple times, I appreciate the nuances of local culture and service styles. Yet, the interaction here felt less like a cultural difference and more like a disregard for basic hospitality. The lack of warmth and attentiveness was surprising and, frankly, disheartening.​

It's unfortunate when the service overshadows the quality offerings of a place. While the initial impressions were favorable, the subsequent experience left much to be desired.​

In summary, while the establishment has potential, the service experience may prompt patrons to consider alternative venues where customer care...

My daughter and I visited Magnum La Cave a few days ago and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. The wine selection is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable and welcoming, happy to offer great recommendations. We arrived without a reservation and found the bar full. We decided to book a table for the next day, but just as we were about to leave, a spot opened up — the staff immediately offered us the table, and we stayed. It was such a kind gesture that made us feel truly welcome. We especially enjoyed the delicious dips and small bites served alongside the wines. A charming spot in the Marais, perfect for a cozy and authentic Parisian experience. Highly...
