Café de Flore

"I have purposely put this iconic cafe on the TO DO part of this guide, simply because it is not a super-fancy restaurant, nor a must try patisserie. It is a place of history, art and literature, and it is truly a gem for the romantics to experience. You can order a tea with some pastries and simply take in what is happening around you. And while many of us tend to sit outside for people-watching experience, the interior of this cafe is not to be missed."

"A traditional French brasserie, always associated with Saint-Germain-des-Prés intellectual life. Just one block away from les Deux Magots, they have built their fame as "literary places" during the 1930s and 1940s. It is still one of the most pretty restaurant of the neighborhood, even though it can be crowded with tourists. Try to be here at the opening during a week day you'll enjoy the peaceful vibe a lot more 😇"

"One of the most iconic cafés in Paris, Café de Flore has been a hub for intellectuals, writers, and artists for decades. For lunch, enjoy classic French dishes like quiche Lorraine, croque monsieur, or a light salad niçoise, all while people-watching from the outdoor terrace. The café's historical significance and quintessential Parisian ambiance make it a must-visit spot for a leisurely midday meal."
