La Bête Noire

La Bête Noire in Paris is a cozy Port-Royal café that feels like a local secret, with a friendly buzz and genuinely kind service that makes you want to come back. The menu stays simple with things like granola bowls, avocado toast, and rice pudding, perfect for a slow morning. It gets busy, so popping in early helps if you want a seat. A chill spot to enjoy good coffee, good bites, and good vibes in Paris.

Excellent gem for breakfast. No tourists. Locals eating a simple but delicious French breakfast. I enjoyed the fried eggs with toast and bacon (they were out of salmon). The coffee was also good. I would definitely come again when staying in the area.

La Bête Noire is a wonderful little café/restaurant in front of Port Royal. I have only been for café and pastries (twice), so I can only comment on that. Great quality coffee. They have some massive fresh scones that are very nice as well. There is a selection of freshly baked cakes and other pattisseries. I really like it. Customer service is prime. The staff members always explain everything in detail and are super nice; always a good conversation. The environment is nice. It’s calm. They have temporary art exhibitions from upcoming artists on their walls (for sale), which is interesting. 100% recommended !!

It is surprisingly hard to find a simple breakfast meal in the area, especially on a Sunday but this was absolutely perfect. The best bacon I have had in my life. I did not grab his name, but the waiter was extremely nice and calming. Could not recommend more

It's a small cozy cafe with a unique design that serves breakfast and lunch using homemade artisan goods and high quality ingredients. the owner and workers are really friendly and the services are great. Whether you're omnivore or vegetarian the food is available with choices. (Breakfast) Personally I recommend the "Special Fried Eggs with bacon jam" it's a simple breakfast with a couple toast and eggs but the jam is what enhances the dish.

Lovely little corner cafe tucked away in a small alleyway. Went for a small breakfast. Eggs were boiled in perfection, simple cakes and breads were not too sweet. The scone was slightly too dry and hard but an easy going atmosphere. I loved the rough rustic interior. Also dog friendly.

Absolutely stunning café! Came here on a Tuesday morning looking for an affordable, yet tasty, breakfast after missing out on dinner the night before. Oh boy, did this place not disappoint! I ordered a granola bowl and fried eggs with an americano that were great. Not to mention, the café itself had a pleasantly local vibe with an extremely polite staff. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Small cozy bakery. Friendly service. Delicious food. The bread with cardamom and the cinnamon roll were delicious.
