The best bars and cafés Chalon-Sur-Saône

Purgatory doors open for you all week and welcome you for themed evenings every Friday. The bosses, Yves and Hervé, are lovely and make this place damnation a little corner of paradise!

Gay and lesbian bar, mixed clientele. The room is a little small to the tastes of some, but when it is populated with beautiful creatures, where is the problem?

Located in the lively Rue du Châtelet, Chez Maman doesn't go unnoticed. This restaurant and tea room is decorated in candy pink from floor to ceiling, and even outside on the carpeted terrace. You enter a neat, girly worldthat extends, with a great deal of humor, to the menu. The menu is sweet and savoury, with an American flair, led by the multi-flavoured pancake: poached egg, bacon, trout, salted butter caramel, maple syrup... As rare as it is notable in Chalon, you can eat sweet or savoury here continuously until 5pm.

L'Ambroisie, food of the gods according to Greek mythology, is an exceptional Chalon-sur-Saône patisserie created in 1997. Its tea room is ideal for enjoying entremets, delicious chocolates or macaroons in style. L'Ambroisie's decor revives the style of the building constructed in the early ^19th century. The terracotta floor tiles, the luxuriously molded ceiling and the furnishings plunge you into a highly refined Belle Epoque world. A refined, sweet gourmet break close to the city center and train station.

It is a pretty cocoon with a chic decoration in grey and parma, at 44 Grand-Rue, which welcomes lovers of homemade teas and pastries. We sit down at any time for a hot drink, but regulars know that here we can also enjoy a homemade soup at first frost or a pretty bowl of ice cream with the most surprising flavours on the hottest shelves. From Monday to Friday, homemade waffles with chocolate sugar or even whipped cream delight adults and children alike. We like the small terrace, the soft atmosphere and the smile of Myriam Chapey, the very pleasant owner of the place. Finally we can also leave with our tea pack also available on the menu. A very nice address.

This establishment, which was resumed at the end of 2013 by a new boss, changed: finished the Irish atmosphere, "out" also, the strict pub function: here you can also buy wine to take (between 20 € and 80 € the bottle) and this is probably the most worthy aspect. The boss who constantly searches for new origins in local wines is provided at a vineyard in Beaune. If you come at the right time, you can find here a vosne-romanée 1998, or some good pommare. No? Ah! You are not very "wine"? Let's do it, the uncovers boss of rare whiskies that enrich your knowledge. Nor is it? Then choose a beer, there is a suitable choice. The hotel also serves a market kitchen at any time (charcuterie plates, andouillettes, carbonara pasta, fresh salads…). None of what you'll have decided will stop you from playing a baby, playing chess, darts, billiards… waiting on Saturday, Saturday night or karaoke (twice in the month). This place also organizes private and even very private evenings.

All new and beautiful, the Au Bureau pub-brewery has opened its doors jointly with those of the Mégarama, and for good reason: it is located on the esplanade of the cinema complex and it is a godsend. In a setting inspired by London's very chic and authentic pubs, Jérémie Chrétien and Olivier Carel opened the doors of this superb place that will seduce customers of all ages. They will appreciate the proximity of the venue, allowing them to have a drink before or after a movie session without having to move their vehicle, as well as the atmosphere of the place. Leather armchairs, subdued lights, large dining room or more intimate corners, the 250 ^m2 space can accommodate up to 150 place settings. We will appreciate the wide range of time available to really find a solution for all tastes, desires and genres, for a one-to-one drink, as well as for an afterwork around an aperitif board, or a broadcast evening of a sporting event. A simple brasserie menu will complete this beautiful offer, as will the concert atmospheres or theme evenings organised from time to time...

It is on the Place Saint-Vincent, in the chic and cosy atmosphere of the Cathé that the people of Chalonnais like to end their evenings. People come to have an aperitif at the end of the afternoon, they come to have dinner before continuing the evening or they meet to party until the end of the night. La Cathé is known for its numerous animations. Why not try the karaoke night on the 3rd Thursday of the month? Conviviality, good mood, laughter... the regulars mix with curious visitors for a unique moment. That's the atmosphere of the Cathé!

As you enter this liberty-style tearoom, you already know you're in for a good time. Curl up in the cushions, chat, work or simply enjoy the delights on the menu. In this true gourmet paradise, you'll be tempted by all the home-made pastries, waffles, brioches and ice creams. Every season has its own special treats. The drinks menu has nothing to be ashamed of, with a fine selection of teas, coffees and original hot drinks to extend your sweet break.
