Gabriel Café, Pizzeria, bar, and sandwich shop in the 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
Café Merlin is a pizzeria, bar, and sandwich shop located on a street corner in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. The space is small, with wooden furniture inside and a sidewalk terrace outside that looks onto the street.
The place started as a small bar in the neighborhood and gradually added pizza, sandwiches, and brunch to its menu. Over time it became a regular meeting point for people who live in the 11th arrondissement.
The café opens early in the morning and stays open late, making it a good stop at many different times of day. On weekends it tends to fill up quickly, so booking a table in advance is a good idea if you want to sit on the terrace.
The café sometimes serves beers that are hard to find in most Paris bars, which draws regulars who stop by after work to try something different. This focus on drinks that go beyond the standard selection sets it apart from many nearby spots.
