Café de la Presse

This stylish café is so-called due to the presence of several newspaper offices in this area during the last century. Now they’re gone, you’re no longer likely to see shifty-looking hacks scribbling furiously in spiral bound pads (they’d have laptops now, surely). Instead, this classy corner cafe is open to anyone after a relaxed lunch or coffee in convivial surroundings. The café is attached to the restaurant Le Reservoir and shares a similarly Italian-inspired menu, though options in the café are generally simpler and less expensive. Sports are shown on large screens and on weekends the 4am opening time makes it ideal for a sobering coffee after a long night out in nearby bars.
