Grand Café de la Poste

Top choice in Gueliz & Ville Nouvelle


Restored to its flapper-era glory, this landmark bistro oozes colonial decadence. Prices run high for food, but you can't beat the atmosphere if you want to be transported back to the art deco era when French diplomats built Gueliz. Lap up the old-world ambience of dark wood, fans and potted palms with a coffee, Darjeeling tea or wine in hand.
