On rue de Verdun, La Base Café Buvette transitions from the first coffee to the last drink: specialty coffees in the morning, lunch dishes served 7 days a week, and a friendly bar in the evening. Its name evokes a return to basics: a good coffee, a good meal, and a good drink in good company.

A Neighborhood Café-Bar in Verdun

La Base presents itself as a neighborhood café-brunch-bar, halfway between a café and a restaurant. In the morning, you can stop by for a coffee to go or to work for a few hours. The establishment serves organic coffee and organic cow's milk: espresso, cappuccino, latte, or cold brew. At lunchtime, it's a place for lunch with friends or colleagues, and in the evening, the bar takes over with private import wines, homemade cocktails, and small bites to share for an aperitif. A great spot to have a glass of wine on rue de Verdun.

Menu: Travel-Inspired Dishes

The menu at La Base Café Buvette is served every day, from Monday to Sunday. The cuisine is inspired by travels, and most of the products are homemade. The bread comes from the artisanal bakery Guillaume. On the spring-summer 2026 menu, you can find:
