Le Gainsbarre

Maison Gainsbourg's café and piano bar, the Gainsbarre is inspired by the early years of Serge Gainsbourg's musical career as a pianist in the bars and cabarets of Paris.  

Its décor reproduces the atmosphere created by Serge Gainsbourg at 5 bis rue de Verneuil. water lily printed carpeting, white door frames, English-style bow windows and black lacquered mashrabiya folding screens. 

For lunch, the Gainsbarre offers a simple, accessible menu for museum visitors and local customers.

Inspired by hotel room-service menus and British tea rooms, it will serve light, gourmet dishes created by Paris Society: Lobster rolls, truffled croque monsieur, crunchy vegetables, foie gras, tarama trio, Cadoret #3 oysters, salmon gravlax, finger sandwiches, and more. 

With its fifty or so seats, Le Gainsbarre is a showcase that can be hired for private events to share unique moments. Combined with a private visit to the museum and Serge Gainsbourg’s historic house, these private events are guaranteed to create unforgettable memories for companies, their guests and employees as well as for individuals.
