The best bars and cafés Lorraine

The place is cosy and somewhat cramped but the warmth that comes out is worth the promiscuity and then it encourages encounters. You have to admit, it's always nice in a bar! Here, you will be advised by a professional and friendly staff to taste one of their wines (more than forty references in red, white and rosé). You will also have the opportunity to test beers, some essential references are on the menu. And to accompany your glass, choose one of the sandwiches or plates, some of which are made with local products. Enjoy around the zinc (yes, zinc means the counter of a bar)!

A magnificent terrace, in a beautiful corner of Mulhouse, opposite the high school of which it is named, and two steps from the tower of the Bollwerk, the Café Montaigne is another institution. Transformed, it has become a cosy, more refined, more luminous place with a new glass bay overlooking the terrace, one of the most beautiful and emblematic of Mulhouse. The winter nights is a little evening between friends, with DJ and small local formations. The service is impeccable, the music (chosen) is eclectic and versatile, and the clientele is varied, especially students, the trendy and dynamic olds, nice nice couples, groups of friends celebrating an anniversary or other. The Café Montaigne is for everyone year round. The coffee is excellent, the homemade cocktails also and all this in a good kid's atmosphere thanks to the most famous Mulhouse of Mulhouse, Astick, true ninja of the tray which has everything to please. He even has his fan club across the city. The boss, Nga, is quiet and exclusive, surrounded by a beautiful of attentive and present boys whose credo is simple: " All together! '»»»»

If the coffees are there in number, tasty and roasted on the spot, we have to admit that the prices are a bit high. It is still a warm place to eat a good pancake or waffle. It also has a canteen at lunchtime, with honest but unimaginative plates. It is therefore not discouraged, especially for tea or coffee lovers.

Located in the historic neighbourhood of Petite-France, the Golden Gate - homage to the City of San Francisco and its tolerance to the homosexual and transgender community - has been able to impose in recent years as one of the gay friendly places of the Strasbourg night. The secrets of its success: its garden with a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge in the bar corner, its musical selection which fluctuates between electro, house and trance, its warm atmosphere and its numerous evenings of theme (evening evenings on Wednesday evening, one word in a mailbox and a factor distributes them to the people concerned). The cocktails are with and without alcohol. Small dance trail with laser and DJ.

A purple storefront? Opaque glass? What's this strange place high up on Rue Taison that attracts so many people? It's Les Arrangés du Bocal! A name now familiar to all Messiners who like a night out. And all we want to do is dive in headfirst! Near Colline Sainte-Croix, the place is fascinating. Shelves full of jars just waiting to be opened to release their aromas. This rum-maker knows how to cook, blending fruits, spices, herbs and sweets, which they leave to macerate for several months. Arranged rums are in great demand, but there are 130 recipes to try. Some are said to be aphrodisiacs. Other mixtures attract our attention: tomato basil, vanilla coffee, banana flambé, or even... a mysterious "44" whose contents are a secret! Please note that new products are regularly added to the already wide range of products on offer.

A place of the local brewery, a privileged location facing Dominicans Square, a warm and careful decoration and proposals for dishes to satisfy all the desires. A varied menu with local specialties, between Alsatian salad, valley pie and its crudeties, or a sandre filet on saucrat and its riesling sauce, you will be embarrassed. Plates are copious and fast service. Spend lunch time, you can make a stopover to restore or enjoy tea, delicious pastry. In the summer, sit on the terrace to enjoy a sunny lunch break or simply enjoy a refreshing drink.

Nicole and Manu have been welcoming you since 2003 in this authentic English pub which also offers catering and tea-room. The drinks map is particularly representative with 88 types of beers, 33 whiskies, 20 different cocktails. Of course, the Anglo-Saxon specialties are well represented by the appetite: fish & chips, beer cake or whisky, but we have choice in salads, fresh pasta, sharp pie, pizzas, grills. Theme evenings are organized regularly - Saint Patrick, Paella, Mussels. Finally, a well-stocked bar, an authentic, cozy, intimate, intimate, paneled, wooden-velvet setting makes it an ideal place to find yourself in a couple or with friends.

The oldest bar in the city of Metz is ranked second place. Founded in 1906, the Saint-Jacques Bar now appears as a place where the customer is not judged by his clothes, but rather his ability to create the atmosphere. It can also be restored in a simple way (crow, salad) with a half of the beer. During the karaoke evenings of this bar, we even hear some and some push the chansonnette until very late in the night… Relaxed atmosphere as possible: here, not to take your head! In the summer, the terrace extends from the nearby addresses and like the others, it is taken from the first rays of sunlight. In short, located 200 m from Metz Cathedral, this bar is one of our favorite addresses for a drink between friends and family.

Let yourself be guided by Julien, the one who created the place... A natural desire to receive you like a friend and to please you with changing flavours.

It will be said, Hippopotamus, remains a reference of meat. Its value for money is excellent and everyone can find something to its taste. Here, no great inventive recipes, but some famous classics: Basque, classical or Savoyard burgers, of course, with XXL beef ribs, rumsteak pavés or other carnivores delicacies. The city of Troyes is also perfectly located, as everything next to the Cinema City complex. The restaurant is therefore more suitable for the Tricassiens who come out or go to the cinema than to the curious in search of culinary discoveries.

Downstairs, in the large room bathed in light, it is cosy red and light wood. Upstairs, it's muffled with bronze, dark greens, shiny black and patinated panelling. And arched windows plunging directly onto the cobblestones of the Place Stanislas. This refined setting invites us to enjoy delicious moments of serenity and pleasure, through the gourmet cuisine of chef Cyril Monachon or the bar of Tonino Laurent, always ready to help you discover the latest trends. The service is always smiling and pleasant, whether you come for a business meeting or to enjoy a simple coffee. As you can see, this place is deliciously addictive!

This trendy bar on Place de Chambre offers a breathtaking view of St. Stephen's Cathedral. Inside, it has a sleek, subdued feel, with large lamps and moldings on the wall. With two rooms, you can only see the first room when you enter. The second room is much quieter. The Opéra Café is very popular in the late evening, recommended after an outing to the restaurant or the Opéra, and is also appreciated for its terrace in summer. Classic in its presentation and beverage offering, it is nevertheless recognized as a trendy bar, notably for its music and the thirty-somethings who frequent it. If you're in the mood for dancing, there's a good chance that the bar area will quickly turn into a dance floor. Despite the rather cool and relaxed atmosphere, the patrons of this establishment often display a certain elegance. We recommend this bar when you're out with friends.

A favorite bar for fans of colorful cocktails, bachelor gangs and buddies, you can eat, drink and dance here. It's an all-in-one venue, with a vast room at the back that can accommodate large tables. It's also a must for all stag and hen parties. Last but not least, Salsa Café is one of the ideal places to confirm a meeting started on the Net. During the week, on Wednesdays, it's time to dance for two: we push the tables for kizomba bachata classes with a teacher who offers free initiations.

At the heart of the new town hall, at the foot of the tourist office, the Odyssey is well rooted in urban life. Now, the dining area meets the bar area. The interior architecture is modern, comfortable benches… Student youth into the finished courses for a break with a mint diabolo. Nevertheless, the glacier area and bar in the corner are aimed more at tourists. We will not always find the desired user friendliness. But consider that it was a day of fatigue.

We've fallen head over heels for this romantically old-fashioned tearoom, which looks like it's straight out of the English countryside! In a vintage atmosphere (floral wallpaper, Victorian porcelain, Sheffield teapots), you'll be delighted by Johann's delicious creations: real mont-blanc with chestnut cream, black forest revisited, scones with homemade jam and surette cream, Ernestine tart with almond cream and coconut.... A wide choice of beverages: teas, coffees and organic fruit juices... Sunday brunch by prior arrangement.

Vanilla Café is a modern place to stop at any time of the day: for breakfast for early risers, lunch, afternoon tea or simply for a gourmet break.

Vanilla Café works with Alsa and offers ice cream sundaes at unbeatable prices. It's a Mulhouse address to stop at without hesitation.

The owner Dany loves rock and America. This is and is understood above all! In week, this genre of music predominates, while the weekend music is more diverse, but still rock. This bar is attended by a trendy clientele, aged 25 to 45. We love cocktails, we offer 25 of them with different colours and flavours. Here we find ourselves among friends, in front of a glass, and talk.

From Ireland to Alsace, there is only one step (of door) to cross: that of Murphy's! This Irish pub turns out to be truer than life and nestles right in front of the Koïfhus. Here, Guinness is flowing in a warm atmosphere. In fact, when it comes to lager, brown, white or amber beers, you have a wide choice. Whatever the season and whatever the sporting or cultural events, there is always something going on at Murphy's, especially on St. Patrick's Day . And, as soon as the first rays of sunshine hit the terrace, it fills up!

In this lively street, the Pelican allows you to get a lot of things in the field of interior decoration. The well-stocked boutique features teapots in various genres, cups… Three floors to discover and beautiful items to discover. In the afternoon, it is a good idea to set up in this colourful universe with a tea salon, a history of tea, accompanied by a few pastries (the palace of teas and chocolat chocolate).

A nice boutique in which you will find fishing and hunting clothing and accessories. Here hunters and fishermen will find all the equipment they need to prepare for their leisure or passion. The staff were friendly and helpful.

In the Universe, the fresco above the sign announces the colour: Next to the barrels, as in the old time of the taverniers, you will find the warmth of highly convivial evenings.

Seen from the outside, since the surrounding night, this large glass-panelled bar has a look at the softness of these lights, with beams of orange and blue competing in the rainbow. Inside, the same softness emerges and we are moving. Warm mahogany hues, brilliant chrome and mirror, comfortable leather invite us to relax. The cocktails are warm, the many whiskies, the superb rums and the service equal to those qualifiers. Evenings are organized, classic such as Beaujolais or Daring when it comes to presenting fine linen linen and sex-toys from their partner "More if affinity". The atmosphere is monte, the fabrics are émoustillent and the eyes are clouds with dreams. This is how we love this beautiful establishment, when it gives us surprises to make us sing douce night.

Close to the Place Stanislas and near the Fine Arts Museum, we discover this den dedicated to the lemon. Unmissable because of its mint-colored front. Anaïs, the owner, concocts here her own teas that cannot be found anywhere else. To accompany and perfect the whole, you can taste a lemon speciality. Also, each pastry, ice cream, sorbet, confectionery or chocolate ballotin can be taken away and offered. A pure delight! And for the less greedy, savory specialties or just a coffee are also available.

A pre-war café transformed from 1961 to 1974 into a restaurant-café run by the Meyer family, restorers from father to daughter or mother to son! "Let's cultivate kindness" could be the house slogan! Martine Stoffel welcomes her customers to the dining room every lunchtime to taste the day's suggestions or the fried carps concocted by her son Luc, who has given the restaurant a new lease of life. Here the products are local, of quality and seasonal. The Meyer-Stoffels are among the founders of the Fried Carp Roads! In short, a typical village café/restaurant with all the charm, simplicity and quality of the dishes we hope to find there.

Located steps from Petite France, this beautiful shop is divided into two distinct but complementary areas. The first is exclusively dedicated to the sale of teas, with some three hundred references, and imported wines of Asia and the other parts of the world. Did you know, for example, that grows some in Africa? The second area of this friendly shop, a tasting room. Beautifully furnished, it is particularly conducive to take tea in a unique atmosphere in Strasbourg, to eat a small cake... and enjoy the time. A good address.

Immediate change of scenery in this café-tea room adjoining the Hotel Suisse. It is an intimate and convivial place, with few tables, decorated in the chalet spirit and where the welcome is absolutely charming.

The breakfasts proposed here are copious, of an excellent quality and with local products in priority but the snacks are also delicious.

At the beginning, a group of friends, but above all a passion: beer. This is how this brewery, which started as an association in 2015, became a cooperative in 2022.
