The best bars and cafés Picardy

A red Façade to be sure to be seen, the Irish Tavern is the lens pub of Lens where you can dance until early morning in lively rhythms. Irish decor but general music on Friday and Saturday evening, Irish as it is called can organise your funerals of life as a young girl or young man, but also your birthdays and corporate events thanks to their formulas key in hand. Every lunchtime, from Monday to Friday, enjoy traditional Irish dishes (the dish of the day around 7,90 €).

From Euralille, you can admire the roof of this restaurant, which has become a must-see, and the hotel's illuminated sign. To get there, you take an elevator... and you're transported into a trendy, colorful world! If you like trendy places, you'll find what you're looking for at the Mama Shelter bar, which boasts a large terrace and top-notch decor. The cocktails are well-balanced, so take your time sipping them. The menu also includes spirits and a fine selection of beers.

A restored farmhouse, Aux Enfants Terribles is a place of conviviality and pleasure that brings together all generations around three pillars: food, beer and events.

Their craft brewery still offers 7 beers brewed on site, then transferred to the venue's multiple spaces via a biéroduc. Fred takes you on a tour of the brewery, explaining the beer-making process, and their comedy shows are aimed at the widest possible audience, while their leisure activities are expanding daily..

A small bar not to be missed where, comfortably seated in the middle of a vintage, cosy and refined decoration, you will enjoy a good glass of wine, a cocktail or if you prefer, a soft drink or even a tea (very nice selection on the menu). If you feel hungry, you can enjoy the beautiful plates offered, to share: cheese and charcuterie boards, seafood, delicate verrines or even artisanal fish rillettes. Games are available to relax, as well as newspapers and magazines.

As soon as you enter, you love the all-wooden counter, which invites you to sit down and get lost in the reading of the draught beer choices displayed on a large slate board. As for the wall of bottles, it is the proof that here we know what we are talking about. Beware, nothing but the new and the exceptional. The selection is very precise and offers nectars brewed by the best producers in France. While beer is of course in the limelight, whisky lovers will not be outdone thanks, once again, to a careful selection of unique nectars.

It's one of Compiégnois' favorite spots. Manon and her young team will be delighted to advise you on your orders or gift baskets. In all, almost 300 references of wines and champagnes await you here. As well as whiskies. The tapas are varied: cold meats, cheese, antipasti... Oyster platters are a regular feature. Frequent entertainment contributes to the festive image of this must-visit establishment in the imperial city.

If you ask a Dunkirk inhabitant where to go for a drink in a nice place, he will direct you to the well named "rue de la Soif" and more precisely to Le Bommel, a very famous (but not only) beer bar. You can't miss it with its ten or so (Belgian) beer signs on its façade. The menu is also impressive: 14 draught beers, a wide choice of bottled beers, but also rum-based cocktails. The original decoration, with its heterogeneous objects, its hanging hop vines, its flags and beer napkins on the ceiling, its woodwork, has not moved despite the change of ownership. The establishment has a strong identity and on Friday and Saturday evenings, it's buzzing! This is what makes its charm. There are people of all ages, sailors on port calls, workers on the move, English people who often find a pub spirit in this place. The establishment regularly organises events and concerts, but people come here mainly to mingle, to chat all night long... listening to good big rock music, having a good time on Les Lacs du Connemara, and dancing to Dalida music. Le Bommel is just great!

At Le coin des Augustines, gourmet delights are the order of the day. In a cosy setting, you can enjoy sweet and savoury crêpes accompanied by homemade hot chocolate, with a choice of flavours: cinnamon, vanilla, Grand Manier or marshmallows... And if you like chocolate in its other forms, you can take away ballotins of chocolates and pralines. Picardy specialities are also on sale. Here, the atmosphere is just like at home, and good humor is the order of the day.

Once known as Aux As du Don and frequented by many celebrities (including Jacques Chirac), Ad'Hoc Café has reinvented itself to become a fixture in the festive Saint-Leu district. Here, you can drink, eat and have fun. In short, we celebrate life over a good drink and a dish (local and fresh) from a short, efficient menu. The team is friendly, welcoming and smiling. All the signs are green for a great time in a warm, festive atmosphere. The right address for Amiens!

The Pont de la Dodane has found a table worthy of its beautiful location. Formerly the restaurant Les Marissons (first restaurant opened in Saint-Leu!), the owners, Maxime Vaquette and David Le Pêcheur, have transformed it into a chic and cosy setting. The decoration is very successful and the harmony of the colors is associated with the comfort and the quality of the place. In addition to offering a bistronomic table, Le Lobby is also a wine bar with nearly 100 references available by the glass. The beautiful selection of Veuve Clicquot champagnes and the very good cocktails are added to the menu. To be accompanied by a board or a plate to share, like the very successful vegetable aioli.

This Hippopotamus restaurant, a direct subsidiary of the chain of the same name, offers a national card that puts the meat to honour. On the menu: grilled meats and steak tartare but also new ones such as the Basque burger of charolais, or the rump slice (300 g) or the surprise of charolais: a 500 g piece of meat! But also salads, New Orleans chicken, exotic plate and ribs. At Hippopotamus sauces and toppings are served at will! The service is efficient, fast and friendly: ideal for pressed customers. The Hippo-cinema formula offers a preferential rate for a meal and a cinema place. And for those who want to return, a free loyalty card can place up to 20% of the amount of the addition on a pot, usable from the fourth meal. It is a pity that the procedure for activating this card is rather difficult to implement…

An essential coffee shop! We drink a little coffee in the morning. There is a brunch on Saturday. It is restored at noon with a wide selection of sandwiches, pies, burgers… on site or to take away. Among friends at the time of tea, you can enjoy the exceptional coffees (cappuccino, spéculoos, macchiato caramel…), rare teas, and chocolate drinks that delight your taste buds. You can also opt for a freakshake (house specialty), a recruiter or a delicious. If you have a small dip, you will accompany your drink from homemade pastry. You are even offered a grocery store, where you can obtain the original and quality products you have tasted. Drinks are "véganisables" and a fully végan menu is available.

At first glance, the concept isn't very original: a rock bar with an American-style decor and an English-language name. But Red Bear sets itself apart with rare beers on draught, almost exclusive whisky and house-arranged rums. Another highlight: events featuring music, world cuisine or specific themes (oenology, tattoos...). At the back of the room, the "saloon" is a room you can privatize for up to 15 people, with food planks and a fridge stocked with the drinks of your choice!

Formerly Le Continental, this bar-cafe-restaurant with its trendy early 20th century decoration offers travellers a gourmet stop in the city centre, a stone's throw from the cathedral and opposite Marie-sans-Chemise. We appreciate the warm welcome reserved for the customers, as well as the care taken in the service and the general cleanliness of the place. Very regularly, the establishment welcomes music groups that make the place even more friendly and lively. It is therefore a very pleasant stopover, with friends or on your own, between two errands in the city centre to enjoy a cappuccino, for example, or to chat over tea or coffee...

When you enter this warm place, it is impossible to miss the scent of freshly roasted coffee and the staff is friendly. On the menu, more than a dozen varieties take you around the world from Brazil to Sumatra. Gourmets will not be outdone: cappuccino, latte macchiato, chocolate almond, chocolate speculoos, toppings... you can't go wrong! Tea lovers can rest assured that they will be able to find what they are looking for in the fifty or so teas and infusions on offer. Note that the café is also a shop.

Last year, this pub was taken over by the young Jenny who prints her rock style without altering the atmosphere of this English pub. Beer coasters cover the walls of the bar, a pool table and darts are available for guests. The place is really nice with its warm atmosphere. It feels great, drinking a beer at the bar - straight from a pub in Rochester - or sitting on one of the tables that overlook the street.
