Le Café des Chats

This is a cat café, home to many adorable little cats. You can enjoy your coffee while petting the cats, as they have friendly personalities, are easy to get along with, and enjoy interacting with people. The food and drinks are decent, though most visitors definitely come for the cats. With its nostalgic atmosphere and these lovely cats, it’s truly a pleasant place that relaxes both body and mind—well worth a visit.

We visited during an anniversary celebration. The food was surprisingly good, as we thought we were only coming for a small treat, but ended up with a very full menu that peaked our interest. Special mention to the coffee with Chantilly on top. We had a great time walking around looking at the kitty cats and feeling them rub around our legs when they were strolling by. Highly recommended though a bit expensive. Wait is long, but worth it.

My friend and I are in Paris for a day and we were very surprised that we were able to walk in without a booking. We only had drinks, a Paris cola and a hot chocolate with cream and a biscoff biscuit was €12.50, but in the city centre so I don't think it's egregious. The server was so sweet, I didn't catch her name but she was super friendly and even spoke to us in English (we're learning french but not fluent!) The cats were beautiful, all rescues, all really soft. I would die for Percival ❤️❤️❤️ Atmosphere is great, quite quiet, peaceful. Cool decor, very happy, would definitely come again :)

Didn’t have anything to eat but the wines were surprisingly great! Super fun experience. The staff briefs you before entering (you have to wait outside before they come), but that’s only to ensure that everyone knows the rules to be around the cats. The kitties are very fun, healthy and cute 🥰

Nice cafe with friendly staff and good food. I go here every time I’m in Paris Atmosphere Many cats are friendly and wants to be petted, others are sleeping. They like to jump onto the(ir) tables and get some rest. Waiting Time The place is usually pretty packed, but this is Paris, so if you want to avoid that go during non eating hours. I have been here many times and never waited more than a few minutes. Even if you have to wait there are 12 cats to keep you entertained. :) Food Great food every time. Good prices as well. Nothing to complain about. Fee. 5 euro. Which supports the cats and it is noted on the door and everyone is being told that as well.

a charming place with playful cats that bring so much joy to the atmosphere! Beyond the cozy concept, you can really feel the love and respect for these wonderful felines, loyal friends of humans. A unique experience that warms your heart

Amazing Cafe with excellent food and plenty of cats! The staff is wonderful and kind, and the food only helps add to the atmosphere.The cats are skittish at times, but still very friendly overall. I have found no negatives about this place, I would eat here again!

My 11 year old daughter really wanted to go. She spent some good time with her friend and the cats. Staff is lovely. Cons: had to wait outside in the hot sun for over 30 min to get in. Good hot chocolate, but mediocre Americano. Cats are trying to get chicken from plates and seem not interested in customers petting them. Probably too much.

We came for the cats and were not disappointed. There are 13 of them and we saw and petted at least 8-10 of them. I lost count. We are cat lovers and was lucky enough to be there when it wasn't so busy so were able to walk around freely and play with the cats. Most were friendly but weren't very active except one or two.

Before you get in, the server reiterates the rules in French, but you can find them on the website if you don't speak French. There wasn't an entry fee like the last cat cafe I went to. You have to have a phone to order as there's a QR code you need to scan, which makes splitting the bill very easy. I got the 4 red fruit tea and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was a little dry, but the chocolatey aftertaste made the tea taste divine. You do have to brew the tea yourself which caught me a little off guard. The best part of course was the cats. They helped me and my group who are missing our fur babies back home. The cats are not separated from the cafe. One of them even sat on our table for a while and shed a lot, which I didn't really care about since my cats jump on the table and shed all the time. They aren't skittish, but not all of them love to be petted on. Some of them like to play when you throw a mouse. The cat furniture all around is very cute and the whole place has a nice aesthetic. When we went at 5/6 yesterday there were people yes but it wasn't really busy.

Cannot go wrong with a Parisian Cafe! Add cats and now we have magic : )) I did not make it here during Dinner and Brunch Service unfortunately but the menu looked good and the kitties were mignon! (=cute). Had some nice conversations with fellow traveling cat-lovers and enjoyed a glass of wine while trying to get the cats to love me. I would visit again if lucky enough to hang out in Paris again

If you love cats and cafe the scene, then Le Cafe des Chats is for you. It can be a very busy place but once you're inside, you will be surrounded by cats, cat paintings, cat pictures, cat furniture, and cat dishes. My coffee was great and do offer vegan options. I did order the Vegan plate but my hummus and guacamole were not fresh hence the 4-star review. My daughter's lasagna with the melted cheese on top was not tasty and the mixed planche was okay. Bottom line, come for the cats and drinks and either eat before or afterward at a brasserie or a boulangerie.

I expected this cafe to serve only drinks and desserts but they also serve delicious meals as well! I had their steak and it was delicious with their cheese sauce. Their salad was delicious also. Their guacamole and tortillas were pretty bad. It was basically just Doritos and guacamole (which was peculiarly sweet?). The cats were so sweet and playful which makes the experience of dining there so memorable and pleasant! If you want to come in for a chill dining experience in Paris out of the usual tourist-y areas, you should come give this place a try! (We didn't make reservations but it's always recommended).

The vibe is hip, quaint, very cute cafe w/ vintage furnishings and well-behaved Parisian cats on the prowl! The establishment has an Alice in Wonderland feel and just walking distance beyond the markets. Walking in is like an air-lock. To prevent cats and allergens from escaping! Gabriel warmly greeted us and gave us the ground rules. No feeding. No carrying. Laissez-faire policy for the cats. Gabriel recommended the Lasagnes Provencale! This was delicious! Theo brought our dishes. He's super cool! The Pavé de Boeuf was reminiscent of fabulous comfort home cooking. The Croque-Monsieur was ginormous and fantastic! The Cappucino Gourmand came with a trio of desserts. The Chocolate Mousse was deep, dark, and rich. All the while, the cats pranced about with disdainful looks, intermittently exploding with feats of cat athleticism! One cat thought he was from the Spiderverse! Le Café de Chats is the cats MEOW! It was like Chat du Soleil in Paris; not Vegas! Would order everything again! Woohoo!

This is a place for cat lovers to get their fix. I came for dessert and coffee and it was ok. I didn't expect excellent food, but it's a fun atmosphere filled with happy cats that are for the most part chilling around you. The people around me were having burgers that looked really good, but you would have to test yourself. Again great place to get a dose of cat love and a great place to bring kids.

This place is so awesome! I stumbled upon this cafe online while looking for things to do in Paris. We love cats so we had to check it out. We went twice in one week, on a Saturday and Tuesday, when they opened. It was very busy right away on both days. Everyone loved the cats, the cats love people! We were given hand sanitizer upon entering and then sat at a table. I was surprised how clean it was inside. The employees were so friendly. The first day we got lunch, vegetable burger and hamburgers. They were so big but very delicious. The cappuccino was my favorite. The second time we only ordered drinks. If you want to order alcohol, you have to get food. So we got out cappuccino and hot chocolate. The cats are the main attraction at this place and it's so fun just to watch them walk all over tables and order furniture. One cat curled up on a woman's lap. Other cats were rooting through people's bags and others just looking out the window or resting. My daughter wants to return to Paris just to come back to the cats

one of my favorite places I've ever been- amazing food and amazing sweet cats. it's adorably decorated and just overall a nice place to spend some time. oh, and don't forget to order the dark chocolate mousse!! it was the best mousse I've ever had. definitely don't miss out!!

Serenity reigns if cats are your thing as they are mine. A glass of vin Rosé while relaxing in an easy chair with a big old cat sleeping by your feet was a way to spend a splendid afternoon. The nicest people to assist you. Interesting menu aside from coffees and teas.

Delightful theme cafe. Be ready to sanitize on your way in for the sake of the felines. Six cats were there by my count; a few padded around the floor but mostly kept to their perches/baskets. Food and drinks are both done well, from the tomato mozzarella bouchette to the desserts. Best cheesecake I've had yet!

I found it to be quite a lovely place, especially since it's hard to find a cat café like this in the United States. The staff is friendly and the menu has a bit for everyone. I tried the vegetarian "burger," which is more of a grilled eggplant, tomato, onions, and pesto sandwich on a perfect burger bun, served with greens and potatoes. Tasty and filling. Expect to pay just under 20 euro for something like this and a beverage. I saw about 6-7 cats roaming, napping, and just strolling about while there for lunch. The place was rather busy at around 12:30pm. You can also go there just for tea/coffee/chocolate and a dessert. The café is easy to find around the Bastille area from Beaumarchais. I'm planning to go again for a hot chocolate before the end of my trip. Also, clean restrooms.

Absolutely one of my favorite stops in Paris! Seriously. We visited some of the most famous and touristy spots in the City of Lights...but this place was truly special. Especially for cat lovers like my daughter and I. A quiet, cozy, escape from the riotous city sights and sounds. The owners were friendly and hospitable. The patrons seemed sincerely joyful to be sharing a space with the furry inhabitants and were all very respectful of the felines' space. And the food was, surprisingly and unexpectedly, delicious...with vegetarian options for my daughter. I so wish we could have one of these in the States...but alas, our US Health Code regulations would never allow something so wonderful. Cat Lovers in Paris... please patronize this lovely little business!

Really neat cafe that has cats. Coffee was good, and really good chocolate cake. The cats were nice and friendly and did their own thing. Place was clean and comfortable. Very cool that they're taking care of cats while serving great food and coffee. If you love cats like I do, go here!

They have cats. Need I say more? One of the cats (Salem) decided that we were special and came down from the wall furniture to dink some table water (see photos). I think many of the other customers were quite jealous.

This place does indeed have many cats, so the name is not a misnomer. Unfortunately the cats can't wait on you and the servers don't seem like they are interested in doing so. The early 20 something servers all hang out at the front and ignore the patrons, it makes you wonder if they are even paid. I suggest just walking in, checking out the cats and not ordering anything. Trust me, the employees would prefer you do that rather than doing any work.

Staff are rude, they lack communication skills and they dont know how to handle a problem. Very bad experience

When a good ideal goes wrong. Just came back from Paris and being a fellow pet owner decided to visit the cat cafe. Our daughter has a cat and wanted to go basically to see the cats. We had lunch at one of the restaurants in the area which was great and decided on tea and coffee at the cat cafe. As mentioned by other visitors the location and decor are not impressive. There were only a couple of cats available during our visit, most were off limits and not as social as you would want. The waitress was borderline rude and appear to avoid customers like the plague. Once seated, the waitress came by to get our order and deliver the drinks and snack. My daughter wanted cream with her coffee and decided to drink it without because of the neglection from the waitress and the prices were extremely high for the service and products. We had a tea (1), coffee (1) and desert (1) for a cost of 25 euros and in my opinion not worth it for the service and products. We left as fast as possible once we got our order. As mentioned it may be best to come in look around and check off your list. While the idea of a cat cafe sounds great the implementation by these owners is just not there and I would not recommend or return to this place. The reason for the 2 stars is because of the cats and nothing more it's not their fault.

Cat lovers will likely love this place - we did! Arrived at about 12:30 on a Friday without reservation and were lucky there was no line. We ordered the hot chocolate with milk, quiche Lorraine, glass of red wine and vanilla ice cream. Food was satisfying and environment was tres bien. Would recommend to cat lovers.
