The best bars and cafés Amiens

Le Petit Poucet is an institution in Amiens. Hubert Fournier, the pastry chef, has installed his creations in an old private mansion, recently renovated, with chandeliers, mirrors and moldings. While contemplating the windows, one is dying to taste the dozens of pastries that are full of colors and flavors. Special mention(s) for the macaroons, chocolates and other ice creams that make your head spin and the whole family salivate. In short, a must-see place to greet Epicure face-to-face (and really treat yourself).

The Square is the graduation of students from nearby secondary school Lachenaie. So in the day, you'll find lots of young people lying in coffee between two courses. But the place is very well decorated and very well placed. The team is also very friendly and the wine wine card is still interesting. There is a trentenaire clientele at the end of the week. We can eat lunch, pasta, salads, dessert and sometimes acoustic concerts. In the morning coffee is 1 €.

Discreet but efficient, Le Savoy is one of those old-fashioned bars where most people are familiar. We come here for friends and the boss refaire the world around a glass without worrying about the New Star or the time that passes.

Le Pavillon Bleu is a restaurant located in Amiens' Parc de la Hotoie. Combining tradition and modernity, this establishment offers a locavore menu and homemade dishes. In a rustic setting, you can enjoy simple, refined dishes. During the week, an all-day menu is available for those looking for a quick lunch break. Le Pavillon Bleu is also available for takeaway and contactless delivery.

A wine bar and beer cellar where you can share a platter of charcuterie, cheese or vegetables, l'Atelier d'Alex has been well established in the Cathedral district for several years. Take a trip to the Mediterranean coast with Italian and Spanish wines, or explore the Picardy region with the famous Picardilly, Page 24, or a beer brewed in the Oise region, L'Agent provocateur, by Craig Allan! And don't forget to try Dechelle Henri et Fille's champagne from the slopes of the Aisne. You can also come here to enjoy the friendly atmosphere, the unique decor, the advice and good humor of the team and the evening concerts.

We are warned, here we bet on the "green", the good, the local and the organic. On the menu, we appreciate the "Sélection amiénoise" of local beers as well as the "Petite blonde légère", brewed by the establishment. The cocktails are also not in rest. You can accompany your glass with a nice plate of local cheeses, cold cuts or seasonal vegetables. Special mention for the "Aperollot" formula where cheese, bread and beer are combined: ideal to celebrate life in Amiens and to have a great time with friends and good food!

The Maison de la Culture d'Amiens - theater, cinema and exhibition hall - also has a café with light tones and a modern, uncluttered design, with a small terrace overlooking Place Gontier. In a self-service spirit, Côté Jardin offers an assortment of homemade dishes (to be reheated). After a soup or a salad, try the lasagna, the vegetarian eggplant, the quiches or the ficelle picarde. The assortment of desserts is not to be missed. On the drinks menu, selected wines at low prices and original fruit juices and smoothies.

Among the bars of Saint-Leu, the latest one is a cocktail bar managed by a young dynamic team. In an intimate and nicely decorated room, Cocktail and Cup offers a wide range of drinks, from classic cocktails to the most inventive ones, as well as a choice of more than twenty beers for the amateurs. The cocktails are impeccable and well presented. Ideal for a relaxed afterwork, accompanied by an aperitif board. Later in the evening, the bar becomes a Mecca for student parties. Very present, the managers also set the mood: loud music, small fireworks to accompany the bottle of champagne... The night is always young in Saint-Leu!

"The game has its reasons that the drink ignores" is the motto of this unique games bar in the Somme. And while the drinks menu is well-stocked, it's above all an opportunity to play a multitude of board games in a relaxed atmosphere, with a drink and a home-cooked snack. The games library has over 500 games available for free access as long as you're having a drink. And why not take part in one of the many events on offer: stand-up comedy, improv theater, wine games, quizzes, blind tests, werewolves... Perfect for a good time with family and friends. And don't forget the possibility of privatizing for a special day or corporate event!

For the past 15 years, the C.B.A. has offered more than 100 different beers per year, most of which are exclusive to the region. It is the café for the students and teachers of the Music Conservatory, the regulars of the Maison de la Culture and the students of the Faculty of Pharmacy. It also offers a very nice menu of chocolates and teas as well as some snacking choices. For sports enthusiasts, the establishment broadcasts rugby and football on match nights. There are also "psychoanalysis cafés", "political cafés", "geography cafés" and "citizen cafés".
