Located right in front of the Église Saint-Maurice, is this amazing organic café. Really friendly…read morestaff, great coffee and delicious organic food pretty much sum it up. I had flat bread with avocado, feta and olives and a capuccino for a very decent price (France standards...) while enjoying a great playlist and a fantastic view. I recommend you sit by the window or outside in order to have a great view of the church and let time pass while watching people walk by. In spite of the music it is very calm and peaceful, so go ahead and bring that book. There is wifi too in case you (like me) are foreign and need to yelp every single place you visit or if you need to tell your family you are still alive. Since there are so many other beautiful places in France I'll probably won't go back, but I'll go ahead and give this place 5 stars :) Mucho love, D.

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.

After having lunch here on Saturday my boyfriend and I concluded we had become food snobs. With all…read morethe four and five star reviews we expected something great. Yes, the interior is nicely and modernly done. Yes they have some unique options, like a beer pairing with your meal instead of the traditional wine pairing (which is also available). Yes, they tried some innovative things, like a meringue dessert with beetroot and radishes (not a home run, I'm afraid) and the beer butter (third base on that one). But there were also a lot of uninventive dishes, such as the meat (a bit chewy) with sauce (good but boring), the hard boiled egg (just a hard boiled egg, nothing fancy about it) and an apple pie (apples were soaked in some sort of alcohol but otherwise it was pretty standard). Overall it was all good but none of it was wow - except the service, which was very attentive, personable and not pretentious. Five stars for service but sadly three stars for food. Not Michelin worthy in my opinion.
