Where Barney O'Kane actually eats in Paris

co-founder, De Vie · 5 picks

Barney O’Kane is a co-founder of De Vie, the bar and restaurant he opened in the 2nd arrondissement in 2025 with Alex Francis after five years working together at Little Red Door, built on the rule that everything — produce, spirits, glassware — comes from France. These five places are the Paris list he gave Service95.
