The Carpe Diem Café opened nearly five years ago in the Les Halles district just off the Rue de Rivoli. The dishes served here are very inventive... “Camembert rôti au caramel de cidre, salade aux noix”, “Profiteroles d'escargots et champignons à la crème de cerfeuil”, “Coquelet fermier AOC grillé au gingembre, légumes exotiques”, “Croustillant aux trois chocolats, crème d'arabica”. The 58-cover Carpe Diem Café manages to be both cosy and trendy. It is open from Monday afternoon to Saturday evening and also regularly organises exhibitions of paintings (the exhibition programme can be found on their website). Seize the day: enjoy a meal at Carpe Diem!
