Café du Louvre (Under the Pyramid)
Don’t do it. One of the worst I had in Europe. It was espresso (cafe crème) but pretty burnt I think. I don’t think I could make it that bad if I was trying. If you’re really desperate, there’s a Starbucks there too.. at least you might know what you’re up for.

One of the better cafés I breakfasted at while in Paris, Café du Centre is nice and old worldly, and is staffed by a lovely waitress who both speaks english and doesn’t tease you for your pathetically attempts at french. My le petit dejeuner came with t…

Il Buco
18 Rue Léopold Bellan, 75002 Paris, France
A lovely place for dinner, the owner sat down with us to talk through the menu and recommend some wine. Unfortunately a terrible place for espresso. No crema and not much flavour. Best described as meh.
