The best listening bar near Réaumur-Sébastopol

Réaumur-Sébastopol is the historic axis between Les Halles and the Grands Boulevards. Offices, studios, and the desire for a quiet coffee far from the rush.

Sound and Coffee is a 9-minute walk away (about 750 m), at 48 Passage des Panoramas. It's a listening bar inspired by Japanese jazz kissa: a real hi-fi chain, chosen records, a volume that lets the music breathe.

By day, specialty coffee, slow filter brews, pastries — an ideal HQ to step out of a meeting or open-space near Réaumur-Sébastopol. By night, the lights drop, we move to cocktails, natural wines and B-sides.
