Montmartre & Northern Paris
With its polished concrete floors, raw stone walls and ginger-hued banquette seating, this contemporary neighbourhood cafe-restaurant is a brilliant space to hang out in, from breakfast through to lunch, dinner and drinks. Creative cuisine might include tuna sashimi salad with beetroot jelly, egg-yolk ravioli with ham and mushrooms or lamb-shoulder pie with cinnamon-fig jus. No reservations.
Coffee is from Parisian roastery Coutume.
