Banana Café

Bordeaux


What with its fabulous gluten-free cooking, chic interior design and Soundcloud page featuring the fantastic playlists spun here during Sunday brunch, Banana Café is one cool chick. Well-travelled British-French duo Kelly and Thibault are the creative talent behind the coffee shop, across the street from the Musée d'Aquitaine. On weekend evenings, baby-pink candles add a romantic glow to the chapel-like back room.

Arrive 11.30am on the dot to snag a table for weekend brunch (€23).
