Cinema Cafe - Paris 3e Arrondissement

This place was listed in a book one of my friends had with him for boutique shops. This is definitely An expensive shopping experience with some unique pieces. I’m not sure it’s worth the prices but it’s like purchasing a brand name product. The store was fun to walk around. We didn't get a chance to try the cafe but it was packed.

A friend took me here a few months ago and I just went back with my husband to share the find. I couldn’t believe I didn’t know about this hidden treasure off of Boulevard Beaumarchais! With an entrance hidden off the big street, one enters an oversized concept shop with multiple floors of housewares, clothes and bedding. Downstairs is the cafe with a very fresh contemporary take on French ingredients. A salmon”ceviche” is unrivaled by any I have had, and served with copious amounts of vegetables to accompany. The chicken curry with coconut was a special and also delicious. There are fresh veggie juices and vegan options as well. Very aware of (and happy to serve) gluten free eaters. Go here and plan to stay longer to browse the store !

You can go for breakfast or lunch , next to the boutiques. Very nice ambiance , trendy and artsy .... bio food . Fresh and well cooked . A nice place to go for drinks or food .

We were excited to check out this shop after reading so much about it. After going though, I seriously cannot believe the hype. This place was an absolute disappointment. The clothing portion of the store mainly carried your typical American brands--Levis, Frame Denim, etc and it was nothing more than a few racks of disorganized clothes. The only people we encountered in the store were American which led me to wonder if French people actually shop here or if it's really just a tourist trap. There was absolutely nothing interesting about the place. The little courtyard you enter through is charming and the cafe is, I guess, cool looking--though extremely overcrowded and narrow inside. I cannot imagine actually being able to enjoy a cup of coffee there. I have no idea why this place is written up so much and why so many people flock here.

Rdv of the Parisians, probably also in a lot of tourist guides, whatever, the team is young and nice, and the salads always wonderful:)to do and redo at every passage to the concept store!
