Chez quartier

Another tip for a lazy afternoon in the weekend (or any other day of the week except mondays) is Chez Quartier. You can easily spent whole afternoons in this tearoom, drinking your coffee (or whatever you like to drink), reading the journals and serving yourself  from the banquet. In front of the café you'll find a wide range of homemade pastries like small quiches, pizzas,  croissants filled with tuna salad and  fruit cakes. There are also many different small sandwiches: like  ith roast beef , with st moret and watercress or with small shrimps and avocado. The small pizzas with bacon and the avocado shrimp sandwiches are by far my favorites. In the end when you pay the bill, you just tell the waiter all the things you have taken to eat and apparently they trust their clients to be honest in this matter. Personally, I'm always afraid that I forget to name one or two things. This is because often I can't stop taking things from the banquet and I lose count of what I've taken. The cafe is a very popular spot among locals but small, so don't be disappointed when there is no more place inside.
