La Causerie des Mondes

Dijon


Tucked behind a half-timbered façade in Dijon's pedestrian zone, this eclectically decorated cafe is beloved for its multipage list of teas and its enticing line-up of hot chocolates. Kick back on pillows decorated with cats in Elizabethan ruffs and sip a doudou royal (double espresso with Nutella and whipped cream). Juices and veggie-friendly lunch menus (€16) also draw devoted crowds.
