Placette is exactly what a neighbourhood bistro should be. The kitchen focuses on simple but inventive homemade dishes that change weekly based on what’s good at the market. Try the mackerel salad with gravlax or whatever daily special they’re running. The terrace catches the afternoon sun, the natural wine selection is solid, and the atmosphere stays relaxed without being scruffy. Perfect for refuelling before the afternoon’s cultural highlight.
