Paris - Cafes
Start your day in one of Paris’ many cafés with a delicious croissant and an espresso, relax with an afternoon tea, or have an aperitif with friends. Many cafés are part of bistros and brassieres, functioning like bars and feature great music with a wide range of drinks.
Lipp
Have some cultural history with your espresso. Lipp, and neighbouring Deux Magots and Flore, were the post-war gathering spots of choice for intellectual celebrities such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. All of these large 6th Arrondissement cafés are usually packed to the rafters.
Le Réservoir
Checking out other people is an important part of Parisian café culture. Trendy Le Réservoir is a prime spot for that kind of activity.
Café Charbon
Located in the 11th Arrondissement, Oberkampf is one of the trendiest streets and attracts an urban crowd. It is spacious and was originally built as a dance hall around 1900. It also fits the ”Bars” section!
Café de Flore
Café de Flore is famous around the world and very well known for its unique, intellectual clientele. Getting a table among all the tourists might not be easy but it will be worth it!
Le Pain Quotidien
This cozy and rustic café has become such an international success, it can now be found in the US, the UK and many other places. In a country-like atmosphere you can choose among a number of eco-friendly dishes and home baked breads. A Sunday brunch at Le Pain Quotidien is a favourite among Parisians.
