The Clown Bar

Formerly an old dining room used to feed performers from the circus next door, the Clown Bar now has Oberkampf laughing. Saturne restaurateurs Ewen Lemoigne and Sven Chartier have revitalized the space's Belle Époque aesthetic, giving the original zinc bar just enough of a polish to keep everyone happy.While the seasonal menu may be small and brief in description, the French cuisine on offer at the Clown is, without exception, always on point, frequently innovative, and never disappointing.

You might find yourself dining on pigeon, a slice of venison or smoked eel, or tucking in to more traditional fare like fresh oysters and clams, and, of course, charcuterie. Former Vivant Table chef Atsumi Sota curates, cuts, and creates with a perfectionist's eye regardless of the dish, delivering an experience where plates meets pours in delicious harmony.
