Café du Livre

Gueliz & Ville Nouvelle

This upstairs cafe-bar is a chilled-out spot with draft beer, coffee, bar snacks, cushy seating and walls of books to browse and buy. Come for happy hour (6pm to 8pm Tuesday to Saturday) for some of the cheapest beer (from Dh25) and wine (bottles from Dh120) in town. When the after-work crowd descends, it takes on a lively neighbourhood pub atmosphere.

There's loads going on: Monday quiz nights, live-music sessions, and international football and rugby on TV during high-profile competitions.

Café du Livre's entrance is set back from the street, to the left of the door to Hotel Toulousain.
