Bar tabac du Collège de France

A good espresso at the counter in peace and quiet.

A very warm welcome awaits you at this local establishment. There are fewer and fewer bars/tobacconists like this in Paris. I'm surprised by some of the comments that don't reflect reality at all...

The owner forgot to give me €5 in change, I went back to see him 2 minutes later to explain, he told me that it was impossible to prove. It seems to me that the cash registers indicate the change to be given. Moreover, if he had shown good faith, he could have checked his last payment and the change. I'm not talking about the smile he wore when he told me that it was unprovable...

Looks permanently closed.

I would have never thought I could find a perfect ‘Carbonara’, with the extremely right ingredients, outside of Italy. Fantastic restaurant, after having discovered it I went back there a couple times with friends and colleagues, trying out different dishes. Everything is faithful to the Italian cousine! Complimenti!
