The girls from Rosa Bonheur have opened their second outpost and word is spreading quickly because Paris. But this ideal outdoor venue on the banks of the Seine is attracting a decidedly different crowd to the hillside hipsters who populate the original: the after-work corporates [forehead → table]. If, for any reason, you’re not so keen to wait in the endless drinks-line and be forced to talk about shares/the hot new secretary, come here at around 5pm for a relaxed apero on the wooden benches and actually enjoy yourself. The tapas menu offers charcuterie, cheeses, and terrines, and whilst it’s not as cheap and cheerful as we’re used to from Rosa Bonheur, the view of the Pont Alexandre and Grand Palais leaves nothing to complain about. It’s also one of the loveliest summer spots for a morning coffee and viennoiserie.
