Léobar: 70 wines, cocktails and a hidden terrace
A cat-themed look, 70 wines with a large biodynamic share, serious cocktails and a terrace off the pedestrian flow: the free spirit of the centre.
The verdict
Léobar looks like nothing else in the centre: eccentric decor covered in feline motifs, a list of around 70 wines with a large share of biodynamic bottles (organic farming worked to a lunar calendar), well-built cocktails, and non-stop service that makes it the perfect refuge between the usual eating and drinking slots. The local press has followed the address since it opened in 2023.
What to drink
The by-the-glass list starts affordably and climbs, for the big occasions, all the way to exceptional bottles. The cocktails are not an alibi, they are the other half of the house. And the kitchen keeps up, with small plates that go well beyond nibbles.
Visiting tip
The terrace, set back from the pedestrian flow, is one of the pleasantest in the centre in fine weather: aim for late afternoon. The non-stop service is precious on a heavy sightseeing day, this being one of the few places in the centre where you can drink well in the middle of the afternoon or in the middle of the night.
