Gueliz & Ville Nouvelle
Blonde-wood decor and shaded patio seating on a broad Gueliz square give this cafe a continental feel that's matched by its menu of pan-European classics, like salad nicoise and croque madame. But the star of the show is the ice cream, especially the corne de gazelle flavour, which riffs on a traditional Moroccan patisserie stuffed with almond paste and laced with orange-blossom water.
The cafe serves beer, and there's a small kids menu too.
