Le Grand Café de la Poste review: our verdict
Juiced orange juice, scrambled eggs, and pastries under the pergola in the morning; candles, piano, and cocktails in the evening: Le Grand Café de la Poste changes its face without ever closing its doors between 9 am and 1 am. This former postal relay from the 1920s, renovated in 2005, serves Guéliz a straightforward French brasserie cuisine, with croque-monsieur and sautéed apples at the top, along with a real wine list.
You can enjoy a leisurely breakfast, a drink for two, or a jazz dinner-concert in the upstairs lounge, among velvet sofas, club chairs, and a fireplace. In the evening, a few small dishes arrive with the glass, such as tapenade or mini-pizza, and the elderflower and lime spritz has its followers. Experienced service, valet in front of the door, calm atmosphere. If you are looking for Moroccan cuisine or a local decor, you are looking in the wrong place: it is a great French brasserie, and it owns up to it.
The dish to order: the croque-monsieur with its sautéed apples. The trap: the lighting is all by candlelight, pretty but treacherous for deciphering the menu. The good slot: Sunday evening for jazz, or Friday for soul, by booking.
