Le Cardinal cafe was a nice little surprise that put more colour, in a way, to our amazing trip in Paris.
It was the place we often had to start our days from with a sip of cafe au lait and sometimes even for a petit dejeuner. We once had lunch there too and loved it!
The cafe's deco combines both modern and classic but sticks to the Parisian finesse with all their staff dressed elegantly and rushing through tables to attend all customers.
Our first day in Paris started with a walk along the boulevard Montmartre, from our hotel Tryp Francois searching for a nice spot to kick off our rainy day. Le Cardinal is at a nice corner of the boulevard offering ample and warm space to sit. We had a glass of rose wine and a saulty crepe served with some salad. The crepe wasn't anything special, lacking any spices or sauce. The wine though was pretty good with a choice between two different rose wines served in a glass.

Our second return to Le Cardinal, after two days, was much better! Starting with cafe creme accompanied by some nice rolls with butter, jam and nutella, all of which were served really nicely eventhough the cafe's round tables are so small!
The final return to this cafe was a mouthwatering lunch that won't be easily forgotten! We ordered, of course, cafe creme and then for lunch we had salmon with mashed potato and butter sauce. After finishing that exquisite salmon we vowed to go back soon. Unfortunately, we didn't have that chance during the remaining days but it is definitely in our plans for our next visit in Paris.
