Most of the cafés in Paris serve everything from the expected coffee and croissants, to French classics like an omelette or croque monsieur/madame and even dinner by nightfall. During the day and night, the cafés are filled with Parisians (and visitors like me) relaxing with friends and grabbing a cappuccino or a bite to eat. There is so much this beautiful city has to offer, but I felt the need to dedicate an entire post to a few of my favorite cafés (plus some of my favorite restaurants + a bonus speakeasy at the end) that I feel cannot be missed when visiting the City of Lights. Use this map of my café recommendations to help plan your trip! Map provided by Wanderlog, a travel planner app 1. La Maison Rose The beautiful hilltop village of Montmartre is my favorite Parisian neighborhood in Paris, and the iconic La Maison Rose is a must when visiting this magical area (and possibly my favorite café due to its location and charming façade)! This insta-famous rose house has been serving coffee for over 100 years, and was a spot that Van Gogh and Picasso would visit while living here. A little Montmartre History: Before Montmartre became a part of Paris, it was a little village covered in farms, vineyards and windmills (some of which you can still find today.) During the late 1800’s-early 1900’s, it was a haven for artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec due to its more affordable costs of living and cheap wine. This is how the artistic community and cabaret culture (Moulin Rouge) in Montmartre began to form. Unfortunately, I’ve never been inside since it is closed and under construction quite a lot, but I’m determined to get a cappuccino from there one day! The history behind this must-visit café is captivating, as well. Psst! Don’t forget to pin this post for later! 2. Le Consulat This historic cafe in Montmartre is nestled on its own little island, and was also visiting by many acclaimed artists and writers that flocked in to the area in the 19th century (Picasso, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Sisley and Monet.) The inside showcases the quintessential, charming vintage Parisian café, plus an extensive wine and beverage menu. I haven’t had the chance to eat here yet, but the French cuisine is said to be divine, so its definitely on my list next time! Isn’t this the perfect spot to sit and people watch in the lovely, Montmartre? Win a Trip to Soak in the Beauty of Amsterdam 3. Au Vieux Paris d’Arcole I mean, can a storefront get any more beautiful than this? Wisteria adorn almost every corner of this magical café, and vibrant colors of aqua, purple and gold bring this charming café to life. The inside is something out of a fairy tale, embellished with so much history at every turn. You can even go upstairs and take a picture out of the balcony (like I shamelessly did, ha!) if you want to feel like a fairytale princess. 4. Shakespeare And Company Café Shakespeare and Company has a new café attached to the legendary bookstore, that will give you all the feels! I love Shakespeare and Company so much, so I was super excited to see check out this new spot! As soon as you step into this historic bookstore, you will feel as though you have gone back in time to Paris in the 1920’s! Shakespeare and Company, arguably one of the most famous independent bookstores in the world (and my personal favorite), was a gathering place in the 20’s for several then-aspiring writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, James Joyce and Ford Maddox Ford.✎ Every room and corner of this bookstore (and café) will captivate you with its enchanting nature. I didn’t want to ever leave! 5. Odette This charming cafe is right around the corner from Shakespeare and Company and has the cutest exterior! 6. Café Bohème Paris If you know me, you know by these pictures that this boho chic café speaks to my bohemian soul! The ambiance and eclectic decor in this café is captivating! As with all the cafés we visited, it was hard to leave! The cappuccino and croissants were amazing, as well. 7. Café de Flore The iconic Café de Flore is a spot that is definitely not to be missed while visiting Paris! It is one of the oldest coffeehouses in Paris, celebrated for its famous clientele (both past and present). High profile writers and philosophers were known to dally in this corner café. The menu is a little more pricey here, but SO worth it. I had one of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had here, and could have sat in that bistro table all day and watched the world pass me by. 8. Les Deux Magots Iconic Brasserie opened in 1885 serving traditional French fare. I mean, just look how stunning it is! 9. La Galette Des Moulins Another favorite charming Montmartre café! Situated right around the corner from the famous Place du Tertre, which is a square in the center of the neighborhood where you can find several artists displaying and selling their work. 10. Pierre Hermé Pierre Hermé is a French pastry chef and chocolatier, known as the “Picasso of Pastry.” Come here for the best macarons, as well as tarts, cakes, chocolates and ice cream. 11. Laduree What Parisian café list would be complete without the famous Laduree? The first picture below is the Laduree Champs Elysées location, which isn’t too far from the Arc de Triomphe. The second photo is the shop located in Saint-Germain des Prés. 12. Le Malabar I absolutely loved this little café/restaurant located not too far from the Eiffel Tower. It’s the perfect spot for amazing drinks (great organic wines and mojitos) and small bites, and we had one of the most amazing cheese boards I’ve ever had here (see drool worthy photo below)! Their truffle gouda cheese plate is amazing! 13. Le Café Plume I stumbled upon this restaurant on my way to Palais-Royal, and had to stop in and check it out! It’s right down the street from the Louvre and Palais-Royal, so if you’re planning to visit these attractions its a perfect spot to grab a bite to eat! The gorgeous antique decor on the inside speaks to my old soul! 14. Sip Café Babylone Another cute Café near the Louvre and Palais-Royal. 15. Boot Café Adorable little boutique café in the Marais district that was formerly an old cobbler shop. 16. Le Vrais Paris Stumbled upon this gem strolling through Montmartre (near Moulin Rouge), and I was captivated by its adorning façade covered in pink flowers and greenery! 17. Café des 2 Moulins French for “Two Windmills.” Another café in Montmartre right down the street from Moulin Rouge, that gets its name from the two historic windmills nearby (Moulin Rouge & Moulin de la Galette). This café has gained fame since it appeared in the 2001 film Amélie as the place where the main character works! 18. Le Boudoir Saint-Germain Cozy restaurant in Saint-Germain des Prés. I loved the storefront and the food on their Instagram looks amazing! 19. Brasserie Cézanne Cute traditional sidewalk café/Brasserie. Great spot for lunch. 20. Au Petit Fer à Cheval This spot stands out among the several fashionable boutiques in Le Marais, one of my favorite Parisian neighborhoods. Au Petit Fer à Cheval means “horseshoe,” named after its horseshoe-shaped marble bar inside. Sit with the local regulars and travel back in time in this more than 100-year old “Retro Parisian” venue. 21. Société de Boulangerie de Rennes Le Marais bakery with a picturesque Parisian boulangerie storefront. Amazing croissants and baguettes! Restaurants to wind down, sip some wine, and watch the day turn to night… Chez Julien Chez Julien is a chic, yet relaxed restaurant (but aren’t they all?) in Le Marais that is the perfect spot to sit back, sip some wine, and enjoy the night with a fantastic meal after exploring this historic area! Restaurant Le Basilic This restaurant is in Montmartre, and I just loved its charming facade drenched in ivy and how its situated smack dab in the middle of the street. Frenchie “At Frenchie, down the narrow rue du Nil, not far from Les Halles, chef Gregory Marchand serves inventive dishes inspired by organic ingredients.” —“The French Culinary Scene Today” Pink Mamma And last but not least, allow me to introduce to you (if you haven’t already heard of it before) my new favorite restaurant in the millions of eateries in this great wide world! Not only is the food some of the best Italian I’ve had, but the eclectic and bohemian decor speaks to my soul! If only I could eat here all the time! I would plan ahead to make reservations, if you can, as it is a pretty popular restaurant (rightfully so) and does book up pretty easily. However, we actually missed our initial reservation on our first day in Paris due to some flight mishaps, but we walked in the restaurant while strolling through Montmartre right when they were closing at lunch time and ended up speaking to the manager to explained what happened with our reservation (because I was SO upset about potentially not getting to eat here). Well, the sweet manager ended up booking us a table for dinner THAT NIGHT (after it was showing they were completely booked for weeks) in the top floor restaurant room shown below (which is the coolest spot to eat–I mean just look at it)! We had such an amazing experience, and it was by far the best dinner experience we had during the trip! Our waiter, Dylan, was the BEST, too! Next time I go back to Paris, I will (without a doubt) be eating here again! (Tip: If you want to get some pictures like this, go to the restaurant right after 2:00PM when they are closing after lunch so the restaurant will be almost empty!) P.S…Did you know there is a hidden speakeasy at the bottom floor under Pink Mamma Restaurant? The name of the speakeasy is “No Entry” and its right down the hall from the bathrooms. It looks as though the hallway dead-ends after the restrooms due to a large metal door with the caution sign “No Entry” on the front, but don’t be fooled! You are about to enter this super cool funky hideaway (not the freezer!) I hope this blog helps you when planning your next trip to the City of Lights! Au revoir, for now! Don’t forget to pin this post for later!

Recipe SummaryIngredientsStep-by-Step ProcessTips and Tricks In the charming town of Delacourt, there stood a quaint little café known as The Bistro Haven. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries wafted through the air, enticing passersby to step inside. At the heart of the café was the culinary maestro, Chef Antoine, who had a flair for transforming ordinary ingredients into extraordinary delights. Among his creations, one stood out—the Monte Cristo Sandwich, a culinary masterpiece that blended flavors and cultures into a symphony of taste. Chef Antoine's love for cooking began when he was a young boy, standing on a stool in his grandmother's kitchen, mesmerized by the art of blending ingredients into dishes that warmed the soul. As he grew older, his passion for culinary adventures took him on a journey around the world, where he savored the flavors of different cultures. It was during one of his culinary sojourns that he stumbled upon the Monte Cristo Sandwich—a delightful fusion of the French croque-monsieur and the American grilled cheese sandwich. Inspired by the harmony of flavors, Chef Antoine set out to create his own version—a tribute to the culinary tapestry that had shaped him. With a sparkle in his eyes, Chef Antoine prepared the ingredients for his Monte Cristo Sandwich. He started with slices of freshly baked brioche, a touch of luxury that added a hint of sweetness to the savory sandwich. Next came layers of thinly sliced ham and tender roasted turkey, bringing the essence of French and American cuisines together. With a flourish, he added slices of Swiss and Gruyère cheese, their creamy texture and nutty flavors mingling in harmony. The cheeses were like the threads that stitched the flavors of the sandwich together, creating a perfect symphony of taste. But the pièce de résistance was yet to come—a daring twist that made Chef Antoine's Monte Cristo Sandwich truly exceptional. He dipped the assembled sandwich into a rich egg batter, adding a touch of cinnamon and a hint of orange zest to infuse it with a tantalizing aroma. With a gentle sizzle, the sandwich met the heat of the griddle, transforming into a golden delight. The brioche toasted to perfection, and the cheeses melted into a luscious embrace around the tender ham and turkey. As he plated the Monte Cristo Sandwich, Chef Antoine's heart swelled with pride, knowing that he had created something truly special—a fusion of flavors that celebrated the culinary diversity he cherished. Word of Chef Antoine's Monte Cristo Sandwich spread like wildfire, and The Bistro Haven became a destination for food enthusiasts seeking an adventure of taste. Visitors from far and wide gathered at the café, eager to experience the magic of Chef Antoine's culinary tapestry. Amidst the clinking of cutlery and the sound of satisfied sighs, The Bistro Haven became a haven of joy—a place where strangers became friends and where stories were shared over a plate of the unforgettable Monte Cristo Sandwich. As the sun set over Delacourt, casting a warm glow over The Bistro Haven, the Monte Cristo Sandwich continued to enchant visitors with its symphony of flavors—a testament to the culinary journey that had shaped Chef Antoine's artistry. Recipe Summary Recipe Name: Monte Cristo Sandwich Total Cook Time: 20 minutes Rating: ★★★★★ Ingredients 8 slices of brioche bread 4 slices of thinly sliced ham 4 slices of roasted turkey 4 slices of Swiss cheese 4 slices of Gruyère cheese 2 large eggs 1/2 cup whole milk 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Zest of 1 orange 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional) Raspberry or currant jam, for serving Step-by-Step Process Assemble the Sandwiches: On four slices of brioche, layer the ham, roasted turkey, Swiss cheese, and Gruyère cheese. Top with the remaining four slices of brioche to form four sandwiches. Prepare the Egg Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, ground cinnamon, and orange zest until well combined. Dip the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, ensuring that both sides are coated. Griddle the Sandwiches: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the egg-dipped sandwiches and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and the cheese is melted. Plate and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness. Serve with a side of raspberry or currant jam for a delightful accompaniment. Tips and Tricks Use good-quality brioche bread for a richer and more indulgent taste.

Serve the Monte Cristo Sandwich immediately while it's warm and gooey for the best taste experience.

Adequately boozy Tiramisu, amazingly smooth coffee, in a wondrously eclectic, artistic space. A weekend-only exclusive so don't let anyone cut your queue. It is just that tad bit awkward to start writing again after taking a blogging hiatus for the last few months. That, and perhaps my senses are struggling also, to grapple with the wonderful sensation of sitting down in an aesthetic setting, reading a physical book *cries*, sipping coffee against background chatter and a playlist of cafe music
