A table in the sun at Deux Gares Express
Coffee outdoors, a croissant, and trains passing by below. Meet us on the terrace at Deux Gares Express.
Perched above the tracks of the Gare de l’Est, the Deux Gares Express terrace catches the sun. It’s the perfect spot to settle in for a coffee, a croissant, or simply because there’s an empty table outside. And if your train isn't leaving just yet, you might as well stay a while.
The first coffee of the day, outdoors
Right at the foot of Hôtel Les Deux Gares, our terrace gives you every reason to have breakfast outside. Order a coffee and a croissant, open the paper, or just leave it folded on the table. The trains pass by below; you can watch them depart while taking your time to finish your coffee.
Craving ice cream, or a long, lazy lunch
On sunny days, nothing beats a good ice cream or something refreshing after lunch. Ask what’s on the menu for dessert, and if you’re feeling comfortable, order a second coffee. At midday, you can also tuck into a croque-monsieur with smoked butter or share a few plates. The hardest part, when the table is still in the sun, is deciding when to leave.
A terrace just steps from Gare de l’Est
The terrace is located at 2 rue des Deux Gares, between Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est. It’s a spot to keep in mind if you have time before a departure, if you’re looking for a place to grab an outdoor coffee in the 10th arrondissement, or if you want to meet someone for a glass of natural wine. The snail drawn by Luke Edward Hall, which you’ll see on our sign and menus, gives you a pretty good idea of the pace to adopt.
