Ba Bar in Central District
I like the great ambiance and casual yet nice interior decor of this neighborhood place. I like this place is the diversity of customers there: bikers, families, students, older people, and sport fans.
It is at the same time a coffee shop where you can have breakfast, a Vietnamese restaurant, a French bakery, and a cocktail bar.
Macarons are more than decent.
You can also find a cake named Tropézienne, a French Riviera speciality, like a brioche with custard.
They are open from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. most days, and until 4 a.m. on the weekends.
Paris-Brest and Eclair au chocolat
Paris-Brest and Eclair au chocolat are the most famous traditional pastries in France. They are both made with Pâte à Choux. My favorite is the Paris-Brest because it is filled with praline hazelnut cream and decorated with almonds.
