Les Cent Kilos, Café in the 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
Les Cent Kilos is a café in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, located near the Voltaire street and the Saint-Ambroise church. It is a small spot that serves hearty French food with influences from the southwest, in a relaxed and simply decorated setting.
In the early 20th century, the place was known as "Aux Cent Kilos" and hosted the Club des Cent Kilos, a gathering spot known for generous shared meals. The name and the spirit of those convivial meetings have shaped the place ever since.
Les Cent Kilos sits right next to the Saint-Ambroise church, a well-known landmark in the neighborhood. The café draws locals, music lovers, and friends together for a simple and warm evening out.
The café works well for a simple lunch, a dinner with friends, or a private event such as a birthday or a team gathering. It is worth booking ahead for larger groups, as the space is small.
The café has stayed in the collective memory of the neighborhood even after the tragic death of its owner Romain Feuillade, who was killed on a nearby street. This loss deepened the attachment that regulars and neighbors feel for the place.
