Hot-spot alert! As summer approaches, the Griffon café-bar, in the heart of the Marais, is the trendy place to discover. Large hidden terrace, mismatched decoration, food on the go, and even cultural activities, you can stay there all day long.

With the beautiful days coming, Parisians and tourists are all looking for the terrace of their dreams, where they can be quiet and enjoy a beautiful setting. The Griffon café-bar is exactly what you need! Nestled in the middle of the Marais, it's a connoisseur's address where you can enjoy a huge green terrace at any time of the day. Open from noon to midnight, Griffon is at the same time a restaurant, a café, a bar, where it is possible to have a meal on the go or a drink. Perfect for this summer!

By the way, if you're not too fond of terraces, you should know that at Griffon, there are literally two rooms, two atmospheres. Inside, there is a cozy lounge with a chill atmosphere. Whether you sit on the club chairs, at the bar or in front of the vintage piano, you could stay all day, as the decor is so inspiring.

Found here and there, in flea market or elsewhere, the decorations dress the place and give it a warm aspect that we love! At the end of the day, the sound goes up, the tempo accelerates and a new energy animates the bar: cocktails elaboration, clinking of wine glasses, reunions and adventure stories mix with family dinners.

Above all, it is a real cultural place where one can make funny discoveries. It happens every other Sunday, with a free card reading workshop every first Sunday of the month, given by a professional tarot reader. The third Sunday of the month is dedicated to unusual cultural activities: art exhibition and sale, theatrical readings, literary discussions... The lounge becomes an open stage for different events every month.

Halfway between the functionality of an office, the cosy atmosphere of a café and the conviviality of a bar, everyone can meet there to drink or share ideas. Moreover, the cocktails are tasty and original. We advise you the home-made creations and the non-alcoholic cocktails, which are far from simple fruit juices (we let you discover the menu in our photo album).

Note that the menu of Griffon will be revisited and improved from June 21st. It will be the occasion to go back there!
