The best bars and cafés Turin

Inaugurated in 1763, this coffee leaves the atmosphere of the Turin of yesteryear, when it hosted famous characters like Alexandre Dumas. Its specialty, the bicerin, is a coffee mixed with chocolate and cream.

A favorite. Tucked away in a historic palace a stone's throw from Piazza Carignano, il Circolo dei lettori is a real Turin gem. To get there, pass through the large gate on Via Bogino, enter the courtyard and turn left along the red carpet. Once you're on the right floor, you'll find yourself in a large space with several majestically decorated rooms. Here, you can talk literature, drink tea... The bar is inspired by Mordecai Richler's Barney's World.

Tre Galli ("three roosters") is a Piedmontese brewery characteristic of the Quadrilatero Romano district, also very popular for aperitivo or after dinner. The rustic setting, with stone arches and wooden tables, brings out the wine bar side of this address, which boasts one of the best wine cellars in the city. Perfect for a drink at aperitif time with beautiful boards of cold meats and cheeses, or to eat a bite for lunch and dinner in a bistro style.

Along the Po, we meet this bar featuring rock and trip-hop concerts. It turns into a café-theater.

One of Turin's most fashionable bars and restaurants, frequented by artists and writers. Indian and Italian cuisine.

Tasting of wines and regional dishes in a relaxed atmosphere.

Friendly cafe. Wi-Fi connection.

Original, in the heart of the trendy bar district of the Quadrilatero, the Nurah Café, a Moroccan café, offers oriental flavours, with, in the late afternoon or evening, coffee, herbal tea or mint tea (delicious!) accompanied by incomparable Moroccan sweets, and why not a hookah with different aromas available when the good weather allows you to settle down outside. You can also make your aperitifs and drink cocktails there. The decoration is to the endorsement, for a warm and cosy atmosphere.

If you like the ska rhythms, rock, house and wave, that's the right place. Concerts in the week.

Minimal décor, contemporary art exhibitions, a flat screen constantly connected to the avant-garde site - www.arte2000.net - This perfectly new York-style bar-restaurant has quickly become one of the most connected steps in the city.

A cosy atmosphere for this literary coffee in the San Salvario district where you come to enjoy a drink and read books and newspapers (books are on sale). A nice aperitif buffet, sometimes animated by small concerts and cultural evenings.

A very warm wine bar where you can relax while enjoying local specialities. You can be served indoors or outdoors in the summer. Many people and a lot of atmosphere.

Located in the Borgo Dora district, Sapor di Vino has quickly won over the Piedmontese, seduced first and foremost by its summer terrace. The setting is more that of a wine bar than a restaurant, and the menu follows the changing seasons: raclette in winter, mushrooms in autumn, vitel tonné in summer... The wine list is, of course, a delight, but the traditional Piedmontese dishes are not to be outdone, succulent and hearty. An excellent trattoria to visit regularly for good times with friends!

La Drogheria cocktail bar is a must in Turin. Its setting, first of all, is both warm and elegant, designer yet accessible. Secondly, the cocktails served are truly remarkable, prepared by ultra-competent bartenders. Finally, it's possible - and recommended! - to accompany your drinks with tapas or gourmet aperitif boards, as everything you taste here is made with top-quality products.
