The best bars and cafés Central

From the small terrace outside, this place smells of travel: with Karla, the hostess, you're in Guatemala, where coffee is king! Here, coffee comes in espresso, latte and cappuccino varieties. We also serve classic and less classic hot and cold drinks, such as the delicious Pumpkin or Pink Latte. Even better with a cheesecake or homemade cookie! At lunchtime, you can devour a dish of the day, fajitas or nachos, or the Guatemalan Sunday brunch, with plantains and black beans. ¿Qué café prefieres?

On the detour of the historic streets of Bourges, take the time to take a break in a very unusual place. Hidden to the secular eye, in the small alleyway that runs along the ramparts, at the top of Bourbonnoux Street, Cak-T is a tea room set up in an enchanting setting, a magnificent arched room (old hall of the twelfth century of warheads), clinging to the Gallo-romo rampart ain't. Here, in the darkness of this unusual place and a little out of time, let yourself take the time of a cake and tea. Created by Evelyne in 1994, the place has since been taken over by his daughter Aude. On shelves, the famous Monin de Bourges syrups and white porcelain spice pots dress the open kitchen. Even if you are not hungry, you will find it hard to resist the temptation of exclusively home-made pastries, whose recipes come from family know-how. Special mention for lemon pie, an unavoidable one! The famous teas Mariage Frères are offered with over 17 different flavors. The teapots are original and the coffee is served in an individual Cona. On each table you will find small games, puzzles, charades and guessing, as well as small books. If it is beautiful, enjoy the sun terrace at the foot of the rampart opposite a small garden, sheltered from eyes, cars, and modern times. A delicious address with unusual charm.

A little bit of Corsica on the side, good wines in the glasses, here is an address that we like! On the Place Châteauneuf, this bar owned by the Ettori family will suit wine lovers, but also beer and cocktail lovers. The bar unfolds all in length, under the tufa stone which gives it its charm. In this cosy cocoon, the welcome is warm and the service at the top for a convivial or festive moment. One comes there sometimes for events (DJ set for example), but especially to discover beautiful things to taste, with a splendid sight on the terrace on the Charlemagne Tower and the place Châteauneuf, pedestrian since five years, for the biggest pleasure of the customers.

It's one of those bars that's not in Old Tours, but it's well worth the detour. Not far from the train station, Franck celebrates the love of beer. With him, you'll discover real gems from Belgium and beyond. A dozen draught beers with regular new releases, over 400 beers on the menu, and always sound advice will help you find the perfect beverage. The quiet terrace, billiards table, big screen and warm ambience of the dining room provide a convivial setting for this tasting experience.

Beurre Noisette is so named because pastry chef Clémence's favorite cake calls for hazelnut butter! This cake, the mainstay of the house, is the financier. Here, pastries are homemade from the heart. She bakes flavors that go very well together, such as pepper and chocolate, but also tries out amazing combinations of tastes, notably in a lemon-hazelnut tart. Brunch is now served every day, with a special offer for children on Wednesdays. We love the sourdough toast and shakshuka. We love them.

A successful bet for Nicolas and Nadège! The two managers of this wine bar like no other have indeed chosen a change of career and region to embark on the Bibovino adventure. The concept? The sale of wines in cubes, and a small homemade restaurant. Hot toasts and big salads as well as generous aperitif boards accompany a nice selection of wines. On the menu, you will find reds, whites and rosés offered by the glass for a tasting at the table, with the couple's advice. A good way to make your choice before buying a cubi. For Nicolas, the cubi format can only be seductive: your 3 liters can be kept for several weeks after opening without being altered... so no more waste for your favorite wines!

It's your turn to be the bartender! Here, the concept is simple: the customer buys a prepaid card and can then help himself to one of the beer dispensers scattered around the double room with its industrial decor. Ideal to taste a few centilitres before deciding, since you only pay for what you consume. And it also allows you to meet beer lovers sitting near the taps! For the shy ones, the service at the bar is also possible, with cocktails, whiskies and other wines on the menu. For the gourmets, there are sausages and comté to share. Sports atmosphere on game nights, and you can also participate in the weekly quizzes. It's your turn to play!

In the heart of Amboise, discover this colourful family tea room. The welcome is charming: the daughter (Clara) is the pastry chef and the mother (Isabelle) is the waitress. A pleasant and cosy place for various times of the day: at breakfast with two copious formulas, between noon and two for a soup or a dish of the day, at snack time for a surprise box, or a plaid formula for comfort on the sofa. You can also order a decorated cake for your special occasions. Lots of colours and delicacies to discover on the spot or to take away!

This little workshop is a magnet for coffee lovers of all kinds. A terrace on rue Colbert, and a room with a soft, trendy atmosphere, with its comfortable armchairs, wooden counter and world coffees to sip! Not only is the range of coffees wide, but the roasting and preparation methods are just as varied. Espresso or slow coffee, hot or iced, it's all excellent, and the sweet (cookies, scones...) or savory (quiches, only on rue Colbert) snacks are the perfect complement. We love the charming welcome!

A great place to change your mind and spend a pleasant moment with friends. This place is a lounge bar which will change you from your daily life. The welcome is very nice, the atmosphere is warm. The concerts ensure a convivial atmosphere. A suspended terrace to be calmer and taste one of the many original cocktails: the Exotik bomber, the Aphrodite, the Coco Rico... But also long drinks, shooters, a wide choice of beers and wines. And even delicious ice creams! Affordable prices for the quality of the drinks.

Welcome aboard Le Corsaire, dear sailors, this bar at the bottom of Grammont Avenue that one inevitably wants to introduce to one's friends and family. How not to notice the wooden front and the portholes when you pass in front of it? The interior allows you to enter a ship that will remain in Tours, but will lead you in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the wonderful land of cocktails. Giant cocktails for some, colorful, an experience apart. In fact, we almost don't talk about glass anymore but about vase as the sizes are so impressive. Very good value for money for a unique moment. Good tasting matey!

This café-restaurant offers on-site dining, but does not offer a delivery service.

A bar for drinking and eating: this is the rule at La Vida Loca. On the small terrace, in the dining room on the first floor or upstairs, we enjoy ourselves. On the drinks side, we find the classics of any bar in Touraine: local beers or not, good wines and well proportioned cocktails. On the plate, there is a wide range of tapas and small home-made dishes. In addition to the dish of the moment, often traditional and well-prepared, you can opt for burgers, homemade guacamole and other hummus in addition to the classic cheeses and cold cuts. And on Sundays, it's brunch, always in a nice, dynamic and rock'n'roll atmosphere.

It's an atypical and complete establishment that has settled in front of the church of Chaumont-sur-Tharonne. On the one hand it is a wine and tapas bar where you can have a great time and enjoy a plate of cold cuts or cheese, on the other hand it is a decoration store where you can find contemporary gifts as well as antique furniture. From a third point of view, it is an art gallery that exhibits artists who change every three months, and finally the house offers five beautiful guest rooms with all modern comforts.

Located in front of the Amboise castle, the Shaker has no more to make its reputation with the Tourangeaux and Amboisiens... It has a magnificent panorama of the Loire Valley for a relaxing break. In summer, with its vast terrace, its cocktail menu and its warm atmosphere, it will seduce you to prolong the evening. Its specialty: more than 100 different cocktails, alcoholic or not. But also planks, quality tapas and home-made ice creams. Taken over in 2022 by Mélanie and Arnaud, it is the ideal place to spend a pleasant moment with family or friends.

The Key West, in its laminate and wooded tones, opens its doors, but will you be ready to face these routes of rum? Exotic perfumes, notes spicy, Cuban smells, the master of places proposes no fewer than 50 different rums from different parts of the world. Comfortable teak and rattan seats for a soccer evening, very nice to eat the crowd of macerated au, developed in the mood of the maintainer's moods. Apple-pear-cinnamon, orange-cinnamon, litchi-honey, papaya, blindfolded wood, red fruits, grapefruit… The atmosphere is relaxed and good child, with of course all the classic drinks for those whose penchant for rum is not yet proven. In the basement, the room is warm under the vaults of the cellar specially designed to receive the cave clients. Beware, the night nights wait to spend the evening standing, sometimes dance spontaneously when the atmosphere becomes spicy. A very nice place.

The Jungle Café is one of the most important places of the night in Chartres. Exotic decor with bamboo and rocks and small garden to enjoy a drink in the open air. Evenings with DJ every weekend, bringing up a few boys and girls in the corner. Very nice hotel.

At Chocolats et Chimères, you can gaze out over the Pont-Canal from a shady terrace and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the landscape. This artisan chocolatier-confiseur-glacier's window display is such that not to stop would almost be a crime of lèse-majesté against all these elaborately sweet delights. Set up in the charming former guardhouse, his homemade ice creams with fresh fruit are a huge hit. And his chocolate creations: ganaches, rochers, bouchées... likewise, we love them. Hervé Roussel loves to amaze young and old alike. So much the better, because it's delicious!

Delicious bagels, sweet desserts, homemade drinks, attentive staff and a multitude of board games! And every month, the team offers blind tests, after works, quizzes, themed evenings and a brunch every Sunday. Bonne Pioche is for those who have kept a child's soul, the bon vivants, the competitors, the happy and the unhappy losers, the young and the old. In group or solo, you are all welcome. You can also come and have a drink and play quietly without participating in the animations.

Very popular with young people, this bar is undoubtedly the temple of beer. The map is so rich that it often becomes difficult to choose among some 140 beers of various and varied origins, the 30 whiskies, and the 50 cocktails with or without alcohol (but all served with of a of candy… yum!). Whether in the room or in the backyard, the decoration is accompanied by the colours of the king beverage, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Moreover, if you like the défis challenges, perhaps you will see your name engraved in the wood of the bar…
