Gamelle, the bar, mini-bowling and table soccer just a few steps from the Gare de Lyon

For lovers of games and good food... Head to Gamelle, a bar in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, to discover a fine menu of tapas to share with friends or colleagues, as well as two mini-bowling lanes and table soccer tables, for lively games between two small appetites(WARNING, this is not a bowling alley but a bar, as the house offers only two small lanes to occupy your evening). And during the summer, you can of course take advantage of the restaurant's lovely terrace, to soak up the sun while you enjoy your aperitif.

The menu features tapas, with charcuterie boards (Fuet, grilled whole chorizo) and mixed charcuterie boards with Auvergne cheeses, as well as sardine and tuna rillettes, Iberian chorizo rillettes, duck chichon, Basque or piquillo pâté, and black olive tapenade... Enough to share a good meal! You can also enjoy a full lunch or dinner, with a tempting menu featuring fine French cuisine, as well as potluck dishes to share, if you're a large group.

And, of course, there's always hot dogs to share (but not necessarily, especially if you're feeling greedy), a nice burrata or mozzarella, chicken Tenders, beef brochettes with Cantal cheese, onion rings or French fries! The perfect way to recharge your batteries between games of bowling or table soccer...

And that's where the house really comes into its own: its play activities, which are freely available to in-house customers. Players can try their hand at mini-bowling, pétanque or table soccer, at the four tables on the premises. And when it comes to drinks, you'll find classic cocktails (mojito, spritz, cuba libre, moscow mule...), beers, apéros digeos and wine.

It's also a great address for corporate events, with the possibility of reserving spaces and consuming on the premises while enjoying the activities on offer. Note also that the house can offer large cocktail bowls (planteur, spritz...), for around thirty glasses, as well as beer giraffes. Gamelle also offers the possibility of celebrating your birthday, with the use of their fridge to keep your cake cool.

Are you a sports fan? That's a good thing, because the house also offers sports broadcasts according to your wishes and requests. World Cup, Women's Euro... Want to follow a match? If the craze is there, anything's possible. In any case, note that a mini-gradin is available for you to sit back and watch a match. A total of five screens are available to broadcast sporting events.
