Described as: “A place we moved from a southern French village and transported to Paris”, Cafe Citron is a gastronomical pocket of provincial paradise created by French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus and restaurant group Caviar Kaspia.

Originally hailing from the small town of Mallemort in southern France, here — on the first floor of the  Galeries Lafayette on the Champs-Élysées — Jacquemus has designed a curated haven of lemon trees, ceramics, earthenware vases, and raw materials which transports Parisians straight to Provence, and where seasonal product is given pride of place.

Perfect for: A cozy and interesting destination to drop into for a bite before the start of a designer shopping expedition, where you’ll be able to sample a smorgasbord of Mediterranean delicacies from artisans such as the Boulangerie Sain by Anthony Courteille and farmers from the Vergers St Eustache.

What to order: Any patisserie (all desserts are made by Stohrer, the oldest pâtisserie in Paris).

Trading hours: Every day from 10.30 until midnight

Address : 60 avenue des Champs-Élysées - 75008 Paris
