Lonely Planet review for Café Presse
This dreamy new cafe, opened by the owners of the cute French bistro Le Pichet, specializes in unfussy dishes the likes of which you’d find once upon a time in a terrace cafe around Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The croque monsieur and madame are huge slabs of creamy goodness, steak frites are perfectly cooked and filling, and the vegetables are fresh and crispy. There’s a handful of outdoor tables outside the beautiful cafe-bar; a long list of aperitifs and digestifs adds to the classy Euro feel. The cafe’s adorable servers seem to have been hired based on their resemblance to Jean Seberg in Breathless.
