La Ligne Rouge is a small, consistently reliable wine bar in the Saint-Pierre neighbourhood, a few minutes from Place du Parlement. The atmosphere is old-school French rather than polished — a zinc bar, bentwood chairs, good lighting — and the wine list covers Bordeaux with particular depth in Médoc and Graves appellations.
The food is simple and appropriate: charcuterie, terrine, cheese. This is the kind of place that feels like you have discovered it rather than been directed to it, which is part of its appeal. Open from mid-afternoon through late evening.
