This is a true café, open all day long starting at 8 am. But it’s the natural wines and simple food that keep this place busy.

Nicer in the summer.
I enjoy this place. Tres bon rapport qualite/prix. But you DO need to reserve for dinner.
Does anyone know if Café de la Nouvelle Mairie is open in August? I had lunch there a couple of times in last September (2012) and really enjoyed the food. I’m hoping I don’t arrive in Paris this year during their summer break.
Reservations are more necessary than this would lead you to believe.
