Ideally located in front of the Pompidou Centre, this cafe is one of the busiest places in the district.A spacious terrace opens onto a large and lively esplanade. It also offers a unique view of the celebrated architecture of the largest modern art museum in Europe. The Café Beaubourg was the first cafe opened by Gilbert Costes in 1987. The decor, by architect Christian de Portzamparc, is contemporary, chic and pure. Customers come here for a drink or something to eat (brunch is served every day) with friends or while working. Away from the traffic, the cafe is the ideal place for a break at any time of day.
