About Cafe venues

A cafe is a relaxed spot built around coffee, tea and light food such as pastries, sandwiches and breakfast plates. Cafes are typically informal places to sit, work or meet rather than full-service restaurants.

French culinary culture is listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, a recognition of how central eating is to French identity. A French meal is a structured, unhurried event: starter, main course, cheese, dessert and coffee, each with its wine pairing. France's brasseries, bistros, crêperies and market restaurants form the backbone of everyday eating, alongside a world-leading fine dining sector. Bread, cheese and the local marché (market) remain pillars of daily French food life.
