Horace

Bordeaux


Whatever the time of day, Horace can do no wrong. Outstanding speciality coffee roasts (including Oven Heaven beans roasted locally), sophisticated fruit- and veg-packed breakfasts, homemade brioches and breads, and lunch/dinner menus bursting with creativity are the quality hallmarks of this coffee shop, owned by the same talented barista as Bordeaux' Black List. Sunday brunch (€21) is a sell-out every week.

Horace's chai latte is particularly superb. For non-coffee lovers, the aromatic rose or orange-flower flavoured warm milks and carefully curated grands crus of artisan hot chocolates are equally heavenly.
