Le Café français, Historical brasserie and coffeehouse in Bourg-en-Bresse, France

Le Café français is a historic brasserie with Art Deco touches, featuring tall ceilings from the Napoleonic period and large mirrors that reflect early 1900s design. The interior spaces blend architectural elements from different periods of the building's past.

Founded in 1897, the establishment passed to Joseph Ramboz and Anna Paule in 1927 who ran it as a family business. A major redesign transformed it into a full-service brasserie in 1952.

The brasserie honors local traditions through dishes featuring Bresse poultry, frogs, quenelles, and cheeses from the Ain region. Eating here connects you to the flavors that have defined the area for generations.

This location has multiple dining spaces including dedicated seminar rooms on upper floors with presentation equipment. You can use it for meals, business meetings, or small gatherings.

The building reveals layers of different architectural periods, with Napoleonic-era tall ceilings visible beneath Art Deco details added later. Walking through these rooms feels like stepping through different moments in time.
