Audiophile restaurants and listening bars in Paris where to eat, drink and listen to vinyl records

Originating in Japan, the trend forlistening bars(which could be translated as audiophile bars or listening bars in English) began in the 1950s, after the Second World War, at a time when the Japanese population had few entertainment options. The Japanese therefore spent time in cafés with friends, listening tomusic. 

While listening sessions originally had an almost religious aspect for music lovers, who were forbidden to speak, as they spread abroad, the atmosphere became more relaxed and the sessions gradually began to be accompanied by good food and drink.

After England and the United States, listening bars arrived in Paris a little late, in 2018, to the delight of music lovers. Because while expertly crafted drinks and good food are plentiful, these places also and above all have a superior sound system, with high-end hi-fi equipment and vinyl records (only!).
