What's your Best Cafe in Paris?

It's quite difficult to tell which one is the best cafe in Paris. There are so many cafes in Paris.

Around the world you'll find cafes called Cafe de Paris.

Cafes are important for French people to socialize.

It's a daily activity where you can read, write, talk to your friends or simply watch parades, festival, fireworks in Paris.

Drinks and food

For sure the main drink is the coffee. We drink the Expresso all day. The cafe au lait (coffee with milk) is more in the morning. Also you can have drinks like wine, beer.

For the food, common options are sandwiches: jambon beurre (ham butter) or French baguette filled with camembert or pate. Very nice salads are served too like the Salade du Chef (green salad with tomates,ham, egg, cheese) and salade nicoise (salad with boiled egg and anchovies). I like a lot the croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) or croque-madame (with a fried egg).
