The best bars and cafés Perpignan

Under the leadership of the charismatic Jérôme Samazan, everyone can enjoy the simple pleasure of a good bottle of wine in the cocooning atmosphere of a cosy house. He offers selected wines from here and elsewhere. To complete this gustatory journey, platters of Iberian and Catalan charcuterie as well as mature cheeses are offered on the slate. The good mood is there with a musical program that evolves throughout the night and animations that give rhythm to this warm house.

At the heart of the intimate courtyard of a nice hotel, Laurie and Alexandra (mother and daughter) welcome you with smile and natural elegance. From breakfast to lunch, it is always nice to take a quiet and relaxing break during Tea Time. From 10 a. m. to p. m. you can enjoy a delicious French breakfast or a cross-country brunch accompanied by a tea chosen from one hundred references selected only from the great tea specialist, the Theodor house. At lunchtime, we offer fresh and delicious day pies accompanied by fresh organic salads. moreover nice salads are also served with their toast (foie gras mi, pa con tomato, bread in Maroilles…). As for home-made desserts, it will be difficult to choose between the tarte raspberry pie, the crumble apple pie, the pie pie, the meringuée lemon pie or the sweet chestnut cream and many other amazing delicacies that can also be tasted at the time of taste. You don't like tea? No worries, excellent coffee, creamy homemade chocolate, or any soft drinks at your convenience will be served. In winter, hot cinnamon wine and its cakes ravigotent cautious.

In a single place of 400 m², the wine and beer cellar, the bar and the modular auditorium with a capacity of 250 spectators are united. First of all, we like the beautiful and well laid out shop where nearly 300 references of beers from all over the world are sold, with an incredible number of craft beers. Then, we discover the warm and friendly bar area with its decoration made of barrels as tables and a cosy corner with comfortable armchairs. Two or three times a month, the Vinochope is transformed into a real concert/show room.

You don't just come to the Cour du Baron to drink canons from local producers or to taste quality tapas. You come for the atmosphere. It is difficult to describe because it is unique and unclassifiable. In the dining room or on the terrace, you can enjoy real local tapas accompanied by the best juices of the department. Here you can have a quick chat, talk about the world or about the passing of time. And as in a real pub, concerts are regularly organised, especially on Sunday afternoons.

Tet is "the place to be" for aficionados of the city's good food and trendy music scene. The speed of this success is due to two things: a dynamic team and a concept that combines the local café, the friendly little eatery and the eclectic music scene. On one of the city's most beautiful terraces (because it's vast, airy and located on the banks of the Têt), you can enjoy a hybrid cuisine, both local and fusion. There are numerous events throughout the year. Le Petit Futé came back delighted!

In the heart of the former Halles Arago, overlooking the Maison Espiago, nestles a new place that promises wild evenings: a wine and beer bar with a refined and warm atmosphere. Whether you're sitting at the counter or in a club chair, there's something for everyone in this vast, subtly decorated place, which echoes the evening of the restaurant on the ground floor. A gastronomic wine bar where you can enjoy delicious tapas (made before your eyes in the open kitchen) and savour the best local wines. We love it!

Not to be missed when you come to Perpignan. A favourite place for students, rugby players, young and old, the Tio Pepe is an institution of Perpignan nights! "Tapas y fiesta" the tone is set. High place of the student parties and the third half-time, the two bars, the billiard room and the patio are often full, even in terrace. It's unanimous, it's young, but not only that, it's above all festive, ideal for those who want to get away from their books, from the scrum or simply have a drink!

More than a musical bar where you come for a beer, a glass of wine or a cocktail, Le Quartier is a "real" restaurant that offers a very honorable and tasty menu. Dishes from the land or the sea, and also a tapas menu to nibble on with friends over a glass of wine. Don't miss the brioche perdue, a dessert which, by itself, is the reputation of the Quartier. Once your stomach is satisfied, prolong the evening by letting yourself go to the rhythm of the music or simply have a chat over a cocktail. The Little Wise Guy sincerely loved this place.

Place of relaxation where you can play darts, drink, eat, discuss and meet people while listening to good sound, from Thursday to Saturday it's with DJ or live bands, the whole in an atmosphere which mixes the ages in all friendliness, and everyone behaves well. Let's stay in the tempo, on Friday evening it's fish and chips by the portion and chicken and chips the other days. In any season, we stay outside where the barrels acting as eats-debout are numerous, the more frigid will choose the inside.

O'Shannon is the first and oldest pub in the city. The atmosphere is very British and friendly, just like on Clover Island! The decoration and the small alcoves remind once again the spirit of the pubs. Concerts, special evenings during sporting events (football and rugby), cocktails and pub food (burgers, sandwiches, chips) are there to make you have a great time. Hydration being essential to all, we will appreciate the care taken in the choice of beers and whiskies. A real institution in Perpignan!

Particularly cosy, Le Zinc is one of the most comfortable "lounge" bars of the city. To have a beer or enjoy a cocktail while nibbling a few tapas in the early or late evening, it is perfect. The place is hushed and gives everyone the opportunity to chat over quiet background music. Wine and cocktail-bar, an exact definition for quality service. With friends or alone, Le Zinc is ideal to take out a beautiful dress. A beautiful menu of cocktails and tapas dishes.

This new restaurant and cocktail bar with its original setting inspired by the Paris of the Roaring Twenties quickly caught our eye. Gone are the traditional tapas, replaced by a cuisine inspired by the South and steeped in Parisian life. On paper, it doesn't look like much, but in the mouth, we love it. The place is really worth the detour, the atmosphere is fresh without being immature. It's an ideal place for aperitifs with friends, afterwork parties and so on. The team is young and full of ideas. Special mention for the selection of local wines and the presentation of the dishes.

A charming tea room located in a pretty patio next to the new Rigaud museum. Teas on the menu, green, red, white, black, smoked or iced with subtle blends whose compositions I will not mention. If you prefer a coffee, don't worry, it would take too long to mention everything. You prefer chocolate, and how do you like it? Viennese, Liégeois, hot with spices or iced? In two words, P'tit Mailly is a pleasant place for a little break in the middle of the books available to customers.

A drinking restaurant: that's how you could define this little nugget in the rue des Cardeurs, a pedestrian street in the old part of Perpignan, known by the local gourmets. The place is intimate, very cosy and minimalist, a bit like the owners, and above all what you find on the plate and in the glass: fresh and local high quality! The emphasis is on the origin and quality of the products. Everything is fine and delicious, charming and original. The ideal place to enjoy a good glass of wine with some crazy tapas on a quiet terrace.

Welcome to one of the oldest districts of Perpignan. Welcome to the Divine Comedy, a former convent where today they serve you asses! The speciality of the house. These "shots" which are mixtures of fruit and alcohol and are drunk ass-up send you straight to hell. The Perpignanese between 25 and 40 years old love this concept and take over Miguel's bar every weekend. Exposed stone, cayroux and subdued lighting: we love it. As for the atmosphere, "it depends on the evening, something between rock, funk and soul", says the owner.

L'Apothicaire is the ideal place to spend a good evening with friends, to taste delicious wines, to feast on aperitif boards made of fine charcuteries or rare cheeses and to learn a lot of things about the world of good food. Fred, the owner, is not shy and likes to talk about his products and tell you anecdotes. He defines himself as a "taste buds dresser". On the terrace and in the calm of the pedestrian street or in one of the two rooms with their refined decoration which brilliantly combine old and modern, we simply love it!

Au Fut distinguishes itself from other bars by its "you're the bartender" concept: take a drink, put your card in front of one of the pumps installed on each table and serve yourself, according to your desires and new meetings. Regularly, new craft beers are put forward, accompanied by planks of cold cuts or cheese. It is also the ideal place for the retransmission of football or rugby matches on a giant screen. Evenings, events and concerts are regularly organised. Everything is on the Facebook page.

In the heart of one of Perpignan's most festive streets, Bruno and his team invite you to a late-night epicurean and sometimes Rabelaisian interlude. We love the spirit of the short circuit and the high quality of the fresh produce, the bobo but not too bobo atmosphere, and above all the omnipresent good humor of the team. With friends or lovers, you can enjoy refined tapas, platitos and other culinary delights. Natural wines are given pride of place. It's not unusual to come across restaurateurs or winemakers at table, which is a good sign!

In "la rue des senteurs", whatever the weather, the season or the time of day, what a pleasure to sit at a table or to lean against the counter! Early in the morning, stopping to sip a little black or hazelnut is a very pleasant way to start the day. And at the end of the day, we love to find an excuse to spend some time there and enjoy some tapas. The evenings at the Bar de la Marée are popular with amateurs and 25-45 year olds, with musical entertainment with DJ on Thursdays and Fridays. "Sharing, good mood and atmosphere"!

The Dudu installed on the new "street of the thirst" of Perpignan, is a concept of restaurant where one tastes on the go: tapas, sandwiches, wraps, platitos... there is for all the tastes and all the appetites. A sort of tapas bistro-bar where a relaxed and festive atmosphere reigns. One craves for the vast terrace, the cocktails and the evenings with topic. The reception is very friendly and we also like the large and nicely decorated room. An unpretentious place where the credo is good mood and party in a beautiful atmosphere.
