#20 of 20 Cafés & Coffee in Paris

$$$
Known forhistoric cafégrand caféOpéraarchitecture

A grand Second Empire café designed by Charles Garnier, the same architect as the Opéra next door — the gilded interior is genuinely spectacular. Coffee and pastries are well-executed if pricey, and the terrace on the boulevard is prime for watching Haussmann Paris unfold. Go for the architecture as much as the coffee.
