"Cafe St Germain is the epitome of Continental, doing a "chef's omelette" on a busy terrace with a little 330ml bottle of beer. Sadly, no Kronenbourg, but there is Peroni. Still, the café suits francophiles, and is always packed with people tucking into silky crêpes with egg and garlic, or an immense salad dressed with a sharp, proper vinaigrette. What puts Café St Germain on this list, though, isn't the food, but the prices. Even if you aren't enamoured of the omelettes and sirloin steak, for £8 and £14 respectively, it's difficult to get anything but pleasure." - Josh Barrie
