The best bars and cafés Valence

There's not a dull moment at Pic, which offers a gastronomic version of tea time, the 4 o'clock of our childhood. We've heard of brunch and aperitif tapas, and now we've come up with a luxury snack. A moment of sweet, refined bliss, signed by pastry chef Eric Verbauwhede and head sommelier Edmond Gasser, with sweet starters, viennoiseries, pastries and plated desserts. Featuring quince, fir buds, citrus fruits, spices or chocolate, turmeric and rum. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. In lounges or gardens, or to take away. A 4h on a cloud.

Thierry Alix has transformed his mother's former bakery and patisserie into a coffee shop. Facing the station, a small corner terrace on the sidewalk, a bright brick room and other rooms in a row, with vintage furniture, creating several spaces where you can isolate yourself. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. Thierry Alix prepares fresh smoothies and, with the right Italian machine, top-of-the-range barista coffees with hearts drawn in the foam. At the counter, croissants, doughnuts and other nibbles.
