They were at around 10 euros per burger but they were really flavourful ones. Apart from their burgers, we also tried their dessert, which I wish I could have tried all of them. We had their speculoos cheese cake. No words, I can just say it was heaven for a speculoos fan.

Recommended by my dear friend Diane, we had our breakfast here at the trendy Be Yourself! on a…read moreSunday. When we arrived, we were a bit confused and had to figure out how things worked here at Be Yourself! because of our poor French. First of all, you can opt for the buffet on Sunday and pick whatever you like from the buffet. But it's also possible to order a la carte at the cash register. There's a fridge on the right hand side of the ground floor of this establishment where you can grab your juices, pre packaged drinks or desserts. I forgot the name of the dish I ordered a la carte, but it had pancakes with cream cheese on it, cured salmon, bacon and a savory muffin and it was delicious. I also loved my cherry smoothie. I really liked how Be Yourself! is decorated, especially the stairs with the red walls with paintings and portraits. There is some extra seating area on the first floor. And the lavatory room here is called "Pipi room". The staff at Be Yourself is very young, they could be students or maybe scholars. The staff is very friendly and they tried to accomodate us by speaking to us in English. Because even though we tried our best, our French was really poor, especially the morning after hanging out at the wine bar all night.

The decor is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. We ate at Tamper! for breakfast and the only thing I'd say that I would've like would be some savoury options. The breakfast menu is very sweet and although very tasty it would be nice to have a mix. Perhaps Avocado on toast? Something like that. I'd definitely come back, the coffee is beautiful, the food is great and the staff are lovely!

Tasty! The kids enjoyed the paninis and the service was great (english). Was a perfect late lunch.read more

I'm really disappointed with this place. Before coming, I called to make sure you had gluten-free…read morebread for the bagels. I was told you did. So I ordered a "gluten-free" bagel, and here I am... writing this message from the bathroom. Gluten intolerance is not a trend or a personal preference. For people who are intolerant, even a small amount can cause pain, severe digestive issues, fatigue, inflammation, and in the case of celiac disease, long-term damage to the intestines. It's a health issue, not a choice. I came specifically because you said you had a gluten-free option. If it hadn't been available or if there was any doubt I would have chosen another place. Please take this seriously and make sure your staff is informed so customers don't end up in this situation again.

I tried their raspberry tart, since, well, this is the land of delicious and fresh raspberry tarts. It just didn't reach the expectations. It didn't seem fresh and seemed more like the outcome of a factory conveyor belt and not the result of freshly made that morning with uniqueness and perfection. You're in France. Go to a bakery that is not part of a world wide chain and isn't even good anyway. Find one of those French bakeries that are one of it's kind and have been family run for generations while they still exist!

If you're tempted to try them, I highly recommend the breakfast, based on their delicious country bread which you can tailor to your own tastes, by adding a choice of drinks and more copious items. For me, the highlight was this tasty wholesome bread enhanced with the contents of some of the aforementioned jars. Easily kept me going until the evening! The coffee was good too and it was very tempting to buy some of their scrumptious wares on the way out...
