The Space
Le Triangle sits at 13 Rue Jacques Louvel-Tessier in the 10th arrondissement, on a quiet street between Republique and the lower edge of Belleville, a short walk from Goncourt Metro. It runs as a micro-brasserie and restaurant, a room built around beer brewed on site and a kitchen that treats those beers as the thing to cook for.
The format rewards drinkers who want craft beer taken as seriously as Paris usually takes wine. Time Out Paris describes a list of stouts, ales, and Trappist pours alongside in-house beer from a Canadian brewer, all matched with the kitchen's small plates. Anyone arriving for cocktails or a classic natural-wine bar will find neither. This is a beer room first.
A 10th-arrondissement micro-brasserie that pours its own beer and builds the small plates to match it.
The space is compact and informal, the kind of neighbourhood room where the bar and the kitchen share the same small floor. Listings and review photos show a pared-back interior that puts the taps and the food front and center rather than any decor statement.
It reads as a local spot rather than a destination, which suits the corner of the 10th it sits on, away from the heavier foot traffic of the Canal Saint-Martin a few blocks west.
The draw is the beer. The house brews anchor the list, joined by stouts, ales, and Trappist bottles plus craft imports from Belgium, Italy, England, and Germany, per Time Out's writeup. The point of difference is the pairing approach, where the kitchen builds plates to sit next to a specific pour rather than a generic bar menu.
Order a house beer first and let the staff steer you toward the plate that matches it. Skip the instinct to default to wine here. The beer program is the reason the room exists, and the food is set up to follow it.
The crowd skews local and beer-curious rather than scene-driven, the sort of room that fills with people who came specifically for what is on tap. Restaurant directories describe a relaxed, conversation-friendly evening rather than a late-night party.
The 10th around Goncourt has steadily turned into one of the better corners of Paris for independent food and drink, and Le Triangle fits that pattern as a small, owner-run room rather than a group operation.
Because reported hours and status have varied across listings, this is a place to confirm before making a special trip. When open, it reads as a quiet, unhurried beer evening rather than a high-volume night out.
The in-house pours are the signature. Start here before anything imported.
The deeper, maltier end of the list pairs best with the kitchen's plates.
Ask the staff which dish is built for your beer. That is the house method.
Belgian and German bottles round out a list worth tasting across.
Le Triangle is for beer drinkers who want their pour matched to a plate, and for anyone after a low-key evening in the 10th away from the busier Canal strip. It is a micro-brasserie, not a cocktail bar or a wine room.

Le Triangle is on Rue Jacques Louvel-Tessier in the 10th, a short walk from Goncourt on line 11. Belleville on lines 2 and 11 and Republique on lines 3, 5, 8, 9, and 11 are both within easy reach.
The Canal Saint-Martin is a few blocks west, so the bar pairs well with a walk along the water before or after.
Evenings are the natural fit for a beer-led room like this. Midweek tends to be calmer if you want to talk the list through with the staff.
