Café Beaubourg

Overall good experience. Good food and aperols. The cheese board is pretty basic. The duck was cooked well and the service was prompt.

This cafe was recommended by a local; "no tourists (despite the location), honest business and good food. Frequented by locals". This is the same individual who recommended the best ice cream in Paris. She was right about the ice cream, so we hoped she'd be correct about the cafe. We won't mention we had ice cream before dinner ;). She was correct-only locals, or at least French speaking, in most of the cafe. The food was "meh". Fortunately it wasn't expensive, so she was 2/3 on the cafe recommendation and 1/2 on all her recommendations. Not bad, not good, just "meh"

We had a great time to have a brunch at Café Beaubourg. Wonderful outdoor seating with the French people watching right in front of the The Pompidou Centre. Street performance music at the background.

We ordered the Formule Brunch:

Fresh basket of French breads
Fruits, salad, French fries (OMG! The fries in Paris are SOOOOO fresh & it has this bright yellow color that I never seen else where)
Eggs (with choice of scramble or fried eggs).

They do have English menu although not all of their waiters can speak English.

Here I learned the French way to eat their bread: a thin layer of butter with jam.

Tips:

French butter is extraordinary delicious and they come in "half- salt". It's not like any of the butter you can taste in U.S. wish I can get those butter in US. :(

After I visited centre Pompidou, I looked for a quick lunch, and I found this café. My family and I were immediately seated to a nice outside street view seating, in front of Pompidou. We ordered a plain cheeseburger, a plain bacon cheeseburger, and a coffee with barley. Before our orders, we received some bread and butter; my favorite. Then came our coffee, and in short it was the best coffee I ever had: a perfect combination of coffee and alcohol. Actually, how can coffee go wrong?

Then came our burgers. When I took one look at them, I knew they were going to be the best burgers ever. I was right! The bun was extremely crispy and lightly toasted, the juicy patty was cooked just right, and the cheese was melted, but only to my enjoyment. Every bite felt like heaven; it was the best cheeseburger I ate in a while. The french fries which came with it were amazing too; they were thin and pleasant to eat.

I definitely recommend this café and I don't understand why it's only 3stars!

Café Beaubourg, a trendy style restaurant that wouldn't be out of place in New York. My former love and I dinned here for dinner during our former glory days. I had the poulet rotii and my former love had the filet au poivre. For dessert, we shared two chocolate mousse, which were very delicious.

Service is efficient and quality of food is very good.

Good lunch brasserie with a really nice view on the center George Pompidou. Perfect after or before an exhibition. Top on the smoothies and vegetables.

Preparing for a full Sunday of exploring Paris, we put out the call for a solid brunch that would fuel our exploration. Fortunately, Beaubourg responded with a delicious and large meal in an enjoyable setting.

There were two price fixe brunch menus. I opted for the smoked salmon, while my wife chose the sausage and ham. Both came with light and tasty scrambled eggs, A generous portion of potatoes, toast, and rolls. Oh yeah, there was also a fresh side Caesar salad (the real kind - tossed with anchovy paste and not 'dressing'). Juice and coffee are also included, all for ~€22.

And, just to make sure one doesn't leave hungry - the dessert choice is either a fruit yoghurt parfait (labeled as white cheese) or a fruit cup.

We had fun sitting outside and watching the crowds pass by the Centre Pompidou. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. However, we did not feel the least bit rushed as we devoured our huge meal.

Overall, a really nice experience I would be glad to repeat - or go back to try their supper menu.

This place is great for people-watching and a relaxing moment. Outside if warm, downstairs if cold, upstairs for more cozy cocktails. Nostrovia!


Near the Pompidou Center for a great view.


Expensive, food is good sometimes, especially for breakfast.


Worth a look. '(¿)

On my first trip to Paris many years ago we stopped by Café Beaubourg twice for food and drinks. What stuck with me from that first visit were the homemade potato chips and overall 'scene' at the café. This time around there was less of a scene and not a chip on the menu.

Nonetheless we had a fantastic, leisurely lunch highlighted by my ham sandwich sampler plate (think two kinds of grilled ham and cheese sandwiches cut into little triangles) and the site of a waifish French man single handedly attack a huge platter of profiteroles.

Service is either painfully slow or wonderfully leisurely, depending on your definition and prices on the high side but I can think of few places I'd rather waste away an afternoon in Paris than Café Beaubourg.

Great staff and family feel ! I always love when I. One to Paris to do my work here and have a good espresso . The management and staff are lovely !!!
