We stopped off at this cafe much in need of refreshment, having spent an hour or so wandering around the streets of the Old Town. There were plenty of cafe/restaurants to choose from, but we picked this one because it was in a busy area opposite the Palace of Justice (good for people-watching) and there were plenty of people just drinking, rather than having a meal.
We ordered two small beers from the incredibly cheerful waiter, which went down very well in the sun. We then decided that we would have something to eat after all. My partner ordered the Croque Monseiur (toasted ham-and-cheese sandwich with cheese on the outside), and I order the Croque President, which was a toasted goat cheese-and-tomato sandwich. Both were delicious.
The bill for two sandwiches and four small beers came to about 28€, which I thought was rather a lot, but I didn't mind so much, as it is in a great location and the food and service were first-class.
