Café La Perle

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


A treasure of a neighbourhood cafe by day, filled with regulars from early morning on, this wonderfully retro space with bright orange bar stools is where bobos (bohemian bourgeois) come for un rouge (a glass of red wine) until the DJ arrives to liven things up.

Food is a cut above: pâté, charcuterie platters, clubs and fabulous homemade desserts such as tarte tatin (upside-down apple tart).
