- 248 SE 1st Street, Downtown
- French café, all-day
- Brunch through afternoon
- Counter and dining room
Café Bastille runs the Parisian café format in Downtown — the brunch through the morning, the long zinc counter, the espresso programme that survives a Marais comparison. The room is the most credible French day-spot south of Brickell and the brunch the most reliable.
Take the counter at ten, the croque-monsieur and the citron pressé, the espresso at the bar. The address is the right answer for the Downtown morning that wants Paris on a Tuesday without the airfare.
The Parisian counter the city books.
