Floyd’s Bar & Grill
11 Rue d’Enghien, 75010 Paris
The double theme of the Floyds will take you alternatively from Texas to the Californian desert as you wish.
However the theme of the house remains centered around the American barbecue experience.
You can therefore enjoy a “prime rib” in the tall armchairs with padded seats of the first room of the restaurant.
You can also enjoy the authentic Kansas City BBQ Ribs, smoked pork ribs in the restaurant’s most secluded room.
The little extra: Sit around the cozy wooden bar to enjoy their cocktails, their old fashioned and strong drinks.
