Some time ago, I mentioned the lovely Café de Tournon, and thought I may post about other Parisian cafés that are less of tourist/show-off nests than Les Deux Magots, the Flore and others.Would you like that?
Chez Prosper (Metro Nation) is really an old-style classic Parisian café, with retro posters from decades ago (can you see me, reflected in the glass protecting the poster to the left?), as well as a wealth of amusing details - such as the old soda water bottles and the mural dial phone... The Bouillon Kub reminded me of a post on Octavine's lovely blog. The food is really fresh and while vegetarians may have a hard time finding something to eat, everyone will be happy with the Berthillon ice-cream for dessert...
Meet me there!

i love little cafes like that. i always go by myself with a good book and consume way too much coffee and yummy pastries- looks like a great place to go on your week-end;)

I wish I was there ...
It would be cool seeing Parisian cafes. I lived in Paris as a child and I remember all the hustle and bustle in the cafes and the wonderful smell of coffee.
Love the look of this cafe you have featured. Yes please! I'd very much like to see more cool Parisian cafes! What a wonderful idea :)
I love Paris cafes too. I had breakfast at Les Deux Magots once. It was really nice especially for people-watching!
I love Chez Prosper, its Art Nouveau decor, and the kindness of the aiters, the best bistrot at Nation.
i will have to try this when i'm there in october for sure! thank you!
I love that wall phone. We used to have'em in rural areas.

love cafes! it started back when i was a teenager and i would read about american artists going to europe, hanging out in cafes, reading, writing, painting, sharing time with friends in the midst of passionate conversations...

I've been also pondering about cafes and thought of making a post on the subject :-) it is fascinating how different the cafe culture can be from country to country. and yes, if I get to Paris I will try to go to this cafe :-)
