Paris and Their Many Cafés


Paris, the city of love...and coffee (and cheese, and wine, and baguettes...)

Coming to this city without enjoying a gourmandise adventure is the same as going to Rome and not seeing the Pope.

 Paris is known for their cheese, wine, baguette but also cafés! And trust me, after 4 months living here I can say as a fact, there is one in every corner and I will list the ones that I had the chance to try. 

1. Café de Flore (image above)

Where? 172 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 6th.
What to order? A classic hot chocolate: an intensely-flavoured jug of thick, warming cocoa.

2. Les Deux Magots

Where? 6 Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 6th.
What to order? Stick to a filter coffee and order milk on the side.

3. Café Marlette

Where? 63 Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, 9th.
What to order? An almond financier and a filter coffee.

4. Café Kitsuné

Where? Louvre Museum.
What to order?  Desserts range from seasonal fruit to Dorayaki pancakes, while a coffee or espresso, with beans hailing from Costa Rica and France, can make for a classic pairing.

 Those are all the cafés that I had the chance to visit so far, but I will keep you guys posted as the list grows!

 XOXO

One of Paul Bocuse's "cardinal" brasseries."  - MICHELIN guide inspectors In fact, this was the first restaurant that I've visited the day I've arrived in Lyon. Expectations were high and I have got to say, I thought it was the best experience ever, until the next day where I had a better one. I went with a friend, so we ordered different dishes in order to try as many as we could...
