La Perle is a gem, no matter what lifestyle you practice. Open from early morning to late night, this bar/ café is perfect for working people who need a cup of coffee, a place to take a lunch break, or for anyone looking to come for a late-night drink. A DJ also comes in during the later hours to add music to the cocktail mix.
Man wird hier von echten Kellnern aus Pariser Cafés bedient, die mit einer schwarzen Weste und weißem Hemd bekleidet sind. Hier macht man keine Scherze mit der Tradition. Die Terrasse ist ein Hafen des Friedens, der sich hinter der Kreuzung des Odéon und der Seine versteckt. Die Bewohner dieses eleganten Stadtviertels sind sehr "rive gauche" (also äußerst vornehm) und kommen gerne hierher, um ein Glas Loire-Wein zu trinken und eine "guillotine" (Brot mit Schinken/Käse) zu essen, einer Hausmacherplatte, die denselben Namen des Instrumentes trägt, das zur Enthauptung der in Frankreich zu Tode verurteilten diente. Die Bedienung kann ganz genauso schneidig sein, d.h. sie ist schnell, aber ein bisschen gestresst.
If you want to be around some famous models or actors and have a yummy meal at the same time, then Delaville Café is the place for you. This hot spot is known for its in-crowd and it's ultra cool ambiance. The cheese platters and Minty Majitos served here are simply divine.
Tucked nearby the Bon Marché, Au Sauvignon wine bar is a perfect rest stop for shoppers and flâneurs alike! With its original zinc bar, lively painted murals and scenic terrace, this gem offers a wide variety of casse-croûtes and tartines: cheese, pate or smoke sausage sandwiches made with artisan bread (called Pain Poilâne in French) to satisfy your mid-day cravings! And of course, the bar also provides a lengthy list of wines to accompany these small and satisfying bites. Â Â
In a neighborhood known for its immigrant community stands a lively bar with weathered red mosaic tiles and crammed full of ragged tables and chairs. Because of its location, Aux Folies attracts mostly locals. The historic cafe was made famous by internationally known singer and performer Edith Piaf. During the summer, the outside terrace never empties from the end of the workday to the end of the night. To pace between the relatively cheap drinks, there's always the option of checking out what's new in the graffiti-dazzled alley around the corner. Or, there's a pinball machine inside. One of the most iconic cafes of the city, relive Edith Piaf's melodious legacy at Aux Folies.
