CITRON ET CERISE
Read moreDiscover an adorable tea room in bright colors. In a cocooning atmosphere where sweetness is king, the menu of sweet delights takes us on a journey through tastes and cultures. Charming Iraqi Lana takes us on a discovery of her grandmother's recipes, including cakes, cheesecakes, cookies and oriental cakes. In pretty teapots, local teas from the Compagnie Coloniale are brewed, unless you prefer Turkish coffee with cardamom or a delicious hot chocolate. All served with a smile!
REPUBLIC CORNER
Read moreHoused in a large hangar on the Zone de la République, the Poitevin food court is on a roll, bringing together all ages and all publics: families, friends, colleagues. Under a garlanded sky, with its vintage decor, you can order a snack from one of the seven street food stands (burgers, tapas, wraps, crêpes... there's plenty to choose from!), pour yourself a beer from the giant 10-spout tapping machine, have fun, play games and dance. Every evening, a new event is proposed: sports, salsa classes, karaoke, dj sets... Republic Corner is the place to be!
LA TERRASSE
Read moreIt's tea time in Montmorillon, and we're off to La Terrasse. In this cocooning place, Kim Stupple will satisfy your cravings for tea and English delicacies (carrot cake, scone...). We assure you, everything here is homemade! On this side of the bridge, there's a distinctly British accent in the air. The decor of the dining room is in keeping with the theme, very... green and flowery - lovely -, but what really appealed to us was the famous terrace overlooking the bridge over the Gartempe and the medieval town. And with that, how about a cup of tea ?
LE BAFFALOU
A bar, burgers, but especially board games (but not only!) to share a ...Read more
WALLABY'S PUB
Read moreClose to the Place Leclerc, it is a place not to be missed in the student life of Poitiers. Spread over different levels, this big Australian pub of 600 m² welcomes a young and festive clientele. It has a great atmosphere! While the friendly bartenders are busy preparing good cocktails, the dancers invade the big dance floor. Here, there is something for everyone: beer-pong tournaments, karaoke night on Tuesdays with 29,000 songs to choose from, soccer or rugby game broadcasts, billiards, or DJs to shine on the dancefloor!
LE BIBLIO CAFÉ
Read moreThe Biblio Café run by Louise, Aude and Hugues, former booksellers, is one of those endearing places where friendship and openness towards others have a special meaning. Our hosts wanted to combine relaxation and reading, and this is a successful bet! All the books are new or second-hand and you can "taste" them on the spot with a coffee or a tea or take them away by buying them. On the shelves, art, humor, ecology and even erotic books, but also comics, mangas, games... all in a retro and bright decor. But nothing is set in stone here: there are also readings, acoustic Irish music, sex or knitting cafés to discuss, and here is the magic that takes place.
LES CAFÉS DE THÉOPHRASTE
Read moreTasting a coffee here is an art. On the menu, a dozen varieties are highlighted. Producer, origin, terroir, harvest period, flavor, the coffee has been carefully selected by Anne and Frédéric, our roasters. You can drink it tightly or prepared with gentleness and precision. For tea lovers, a hundred varieties are offered, but perhaps you will opt for a colored and flavored milk drink. Accompany it all with a homemade pastry with or without gluten. The space is cosy, the tables rare, the welcome warm. A privilege!
FINK
Read moreA tea room with a Parisian spirit, you are not dreaming, you are in Poitiers! Here the gustatory journey begins with the eyes. Your mouth will water as you pass in front of the shop windows, before being accompanied to your table. In this magnificent setting, take the time you need to enjoy an excellent tea accompanied by a pastry to die for! You will be charmed by the warm welcome of all the staff and you can even ask for candles if it's your birthday! Don't hesitate to try their artisanal ice creams, they are delicious! The Fink Chocolate Factory's tea room is definitely a must in the heart of the city!
LA SERRURERIE
Read moreOutside of meal times, this café bistro is the fashionable place to meet up with friends over one of the many drinks on the menu, such as mint tea (fresh mint!) or the Viennese chocolate that we are so fond of. La Serru' is the place to be for families, professionals and students. The setting of this bar is very composite. Stay on the first floor if you want to enjoy the incredible main room, its glass roof and its windows... It is one of the few places open in Poitiers on Monday afternoons where you can have a tea with a delicacy (tiramisu, custard...).
LE GRESKO
Read moreFat Co? We could believe it but not, the place is all the cleanest. We come to exchange, to drink, reasonably as it should… The smile is without supplement, the benefit without great surprise, and the short counters sometimes tasty: «when we know what we know, and we can see what one sees, we should not be surprised that one thinks what one thinks…» A laughable quotation to note in your calepins without further delay to reveal it during your next evening!
CAFÉ DU THÉÂTRE
Read moreJust like the two nearby bars, Theatre Café is known for its location, right in the heart of downtown, on the main square of the city hall, commonly known as Weapons square. The place is magnificent, since the work that has been done in this place; it is huge and splendid, the sun is at the meeting, but the parasols protect you… The best is to come at the end of the day when the sunset falls on the town hall. Apart from that, the bar has nothing for him. The hotel was very close to the train station. So, certainly, the prices could point to the location, but if the bar does not create any event, people will only go. It is a pity…
SIGNATURE
Read moreA gourmet address that will melt more than one! It was during a trip to Quebec that Jaël came across a concept that made her fall in love: a dessert bar that combines crepes and chocolate. On the counter, milk, dark and white chocolate flows freely in the fountains. On the menu, pancakes of course, often unstructured or in the form of turnovers, associated with fruit, but also waffles, Brussels waffles or lollipops, and for all recipes, a good dose of chocolate. Addicts will go so far as to share a fountain and its sweets. At Signature, we also offer a savory break for lunch (pancakes, waffles) and gourmet drinks. Hard to resist.
CAFÉ DES ARTS
Read moreIt's a meeting place where people like to chat. In winter, with jazzy music playing in the background, you can enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or syrup. It's cosy. It's easy to chat with strangers. The bistro tables are tightly packed. In summer, the shop window is open. In front of it, regulars enjoy the hustle and bustle of the square, sometimes with a notebook or book in hand. On the other side of the street, at the foot of Notre-Dame church, on the shady terrace, you can enjoy a drink with your sandwich or after the market. A place that remains true to itself.
LA GUINGUETTE PICTAVE
Read moreAt Ilot Tison, on the banks of the River Clain, the Guinguette Pictave is the place to be. Under the great hall, at the bar or with your feet in the sand in summer, it's the ideal place to relax with a drink, or play games at the Ludoguette. From shuffleboard and darts to cornhole and Mario kart, there's no time for boredom! In the old sawmill, enjoy music or a match on the giant screen. And if you're feeling peckish, the Circus-style delicacies bar awaits you, not to mention the 7 foodtrucks serving world cuisine on site. Conviviality guaranteed!
CHEZ MOE'S
Read moreFans of beer, metal and the Simpsons will love this place. Tony and May, the owners, distill a rock'n'roll atmosphere! Located on the second floor of Les Pirates restaurant, Chez Moe's serves fish and chips, burgers, poutine... and frigadelle (grandma's recipe). And drinks: a beautiful yellow tapping machine offers 21 pressings for a total of over 200 references of wines and spirits, along with house cocktails. Terrace and stage for concerts complete the setting. We're sure you'll love it!
L'ENVERS DU BOCAL
Read moreL'Envers du Bocal claims to be a plural place. And it is! Noé, Aurélien and Hélène, musician, visual artist and social worker, have created a new kind of bar-cannery to offer a convivial space for exchanging and tasting local canned goods. The place is decorated with salvaged furniture and diverted objects for a unique and original rendering with an exhibition room upstairs for the works of local artists. Numerous evenings of concerts, debates, traditional jams, readings, slams or improvisation matches are on the program.
JASMIN CITRONNELLE
Read morePushing open the pretty white wrought-iron gate, you'll make your way to the terrace of this den of sweet pleasures, where you'll lose your breath at the selection of sweets to eat and drink. This is Sandrine Lebon's place, her voice as delicate as her welcome. Enjoy teas (iced in summer!), vintage coffees and hot fruit juices, all accompanied by delicious cakes. Saturday is scone day! And don't forget to admire the current exhibition on the walls. A lovely sweet break.
CLURICAUME
Read moreMuch more than a simple bar, an institution! This traditional Irish pub, with its walls lined with concert posters, has a very friendly, even family atmosphere. In summer, its large terrace under the plane trees is overflowing with beer lovers. Mark, the Irish manager, and his team of beer geeks like to share and discover new nuggets. The Clu is even a brew pub with a microbrewery "Beoir" (beer in Gaelic) installed in the cellar! Here we taste and talk about beer... a lot and we listen to concerts... especially rock concerts!
FLEUR DE SEPTEMBRE
Read moreFleur de septembre, a concept store in the heart of Vouillé, welcomes you for a relaxing break. Marie-Fleur will serve you a cup of quality tea or coffee, either indoors or on the terrace, which you can also buy in bulk on the premises. Second-hand goods, designer boutique, tea room, workshops, Fleur de septembre is the perfect place to go with your girlfriends for a shopping spree or a well-deserved break.
