Le Café des Initiés

Friendly staff and a central location have turned this designer hangout into a top spot for a trendy tipple, especially after work - cocktails are just €5 between 5pm and 8pm. The main room is lined with aerodynamic red banquettes, a long zinc bar provides character, and sleek, black, articulated lamps peer down from the ceiling. When hunger strikes, homely favourites such as shoulder of lamb baked in honey or tartare of salmon never fail to please.
