Bordeaux
'Delicate music, drinks and food' is the driver of this chic retro-styled cafe, named after New Yorker DJ David Mancuso who made The Loft private parties so famous in NYC during the 1970s. Dedicated audiophiles can play and listen to vinyls – all sounds – over coffee or craft beer, a simple ceviche or salad lunch (€7–14), or shared evening plates (€3–16).
The basement squirrels away a lounge with ping-pong table and space for occasional screenings.
