Straddling the corner of Rue Camille Desmoulins, a remarkably sleepy junction of the 11ème, is the wooden-paved entrance of Café du Coin, whose iconic blue duck logo sparkles against the white-painted front. “Coin”, translated to “quack”, sums up the light-hearted air of this Voltaire hangout. Brush shoulders with fellow food fanatics as the Formica table and chair settings fill up throughout the lunchtime serving in a steady flow - booking for midi is essential though snag a walk-in come the dinner time à la carte.
