    • L'IMPRÉVU is located on Place de la Fourche with its old cobblestones in the heart of the Saint Nicolas district where the "Paulownia" tree is located, behind the Old Port. It has a beautiful sunny and shaded outdoor terrace.

      L'Imprévu is a former stone mansion with a beautiful private courtyard sheltered by an Art Deco glass roof; a vintage and industrial decor, then dressed with enamel plaque. An upstairs room (which can be privatized) with frescoes bearing the image of the famous painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec accompanied by designer furniture providing a cozy atmosphere.

      We have selected a wide range of wine, champagne and craft beers. We have specially designed our cocktail menu with its beautiful glassware.

      For the catering menu:

      • House Specialty "Mussels in Papillotes" cooked on the griddle
      • Oysters from the Isle of Ré
      • Gravlax Salmon
      • Sea Board
      • Charcuterie/Cheese Board


      A young and dynamic team and a musical atmosphere will warmly welcome you for the summer season.

      We are partners and host free concerts during the FrancOff (Francofolies Off festival) as well as Jams during occasional evenings.

    Ordered an XL platter for 4 people. We ordered a bottle of rosé on the server's recommendation rather than by the glass. Surprised when it came time to pay: the bottle cost us €43. A price that wasn't displayed anywhere. Very disappointed 😞 For a small snack, that's expensive...

    We had a drink in this bar the night before and they weren’t serving food that night so thought we would go back the next night as we had happily eaten at two other restaurants in the square. We...

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by Simon W (Watford, United Kingdom) on 31/10/2019

    Attractive little bar in a pretty location. Probably best to stick to cold food though. The mussels are cooked at the bar in foil on a hot plate. We ordered Mariniere, but the liquor tasted too...
