You Cannot Visit Paris City and Miss These 4 Local Parisian Cafes

Living in Paris? Reliving Paris? Dying to visit Paris? Blame it on the rom-com movies (and no it isn’t breakfast at Tiffany’s) and all those almost unrealistic expectations set by those unbelievably beautiful movies set in Paris, every one of us once dreamt of seeing Paris. And so much of that seeing involves a lot of experiencing that people-watching bucket list, while sipping a cup of local coffee. There’s something addicting about the idea of daydreaming about the city of love, and no it is not because caffeine has that effect.... it’s maybe the cafe itself has that effect?

With sweet cobble stones, lively streets, and olden architectural structures in almost every corner of Paris, the Frenchies and people living in Paris are really fortunate. These ways of Paris, coupled with all the beautiful people walking around, coming from different walks of life, definitely make a blameless backdrop for anyone’s desire to do a proper people-watching activity. And this is especially true if you are having a cup of coffee in one of their cafes. Whether it’s expectation or reality that you are wanting to experience a Parisian coffee experience, I can say that it is true after all, perhaps this Parisian life isn’t just all about lights and romance, but it is also about goooooood coffee places! Yes, are you with me?

In my unbiased (wanting to visit again kind of) opinion, one of the most Parisian thing you can do, that’s almost free and easy, is to sit in a café while sipping on an expresso, maybe munching on a croissant and watching the dreamy world go by? Be enchanted by the magic that is Paris, and maybe it’ll pull some strings and bring good ideas, books, arts, and all that – just like the rest of the human race who has proven time and again that a Parisian cafe inspiration is a good thing to emulate. So without further delay, here’s a quick list to some of the local Parisian cafés the city has to offer that you must try you as soon as you can.

The wonderful thing about living in a vibrant and diverse city like Toronto is that it offers some of the worlds finest restaurants, happening bars and cool cafes for us to enjoy. For a fun night out, checking out a new, talked-about restaurant is a blast, but there are those times when a quality cafe or bistro is just the place to pick up a fast but tasty lunch on-the-go or meet up with friends for a casual, “no reservations needed” Sunday brunch. In the King West neighbourhood, that special little place is Brioche Dorée. Read more here.

The waiters are kind and they attend customers with patience and a smile. I spilled my coffee unintentionally and they gave me another one without even asking and, and then they didn't allow me to pay it. There's also a wide and calm place to work with your computer, relax or meet new people. I'll certainly come back. Ignore Parisian clichés: they really are friendly! :-) Read more here.

With its flashy pink neon sign, its atmosphere worthy of a Pinterest mood board and strong scents of ground coffee, this new hot spot catapulted at Répu has all the winning assets: « inspiring » for Instagram. And it hit the bull’s eye: all the graphics, creative types and other free-lances spend their day behind computer screens, hooked on excellent coffee and house cakes. At lunch, everybody makes a beeline here to come taste sunny comfort-food by Mexican chef Mario Flores (ex Café Chilango). Starting with the already cult California Bowl made with rice, quinoa, avocado, red cabbage, sweet potatoes, cheese, black beans, kale chips… (13€). Another option, poached eggs or miso tuna and chilli sauce. A must. Tops also, couture tacos (12€ for 3), ceviche of ceviche and mango (14€) huevos rancheros, super fancy eggs on a tortilla twisted with guacamole and a fab tomato sauce (12€), mmhm. For the same price you even get a green tea or filtered coffee. Read more here.
