EBG Rating: 7.5/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Regional wines or a compact selection of decent French independent beers, alongside a capable back bar selection.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
One room with bar near the entrance and communal tables towards a living room style ensemble at the rear.

Character/Atmosphere:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Social but sensual rather than brash, with board games and meals sitting alongside one another. Convivial and mellow rather than high energy.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Food, snacks, cards & games.

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
OK value though typical for the city centre.

Description:
Les petits oignons is a friendly café bar with an intimate, mellow feel with social elements too.

They serve Estaminet/Bistro type food alongside some cheese/meat planks to enjoy alongside either wines or a compact selection of decent French independent beers.

It is the kind of place where a full meal and a group playing board games does not feel like a clash of any kind. But it definitely is a calmer space until later on in the evening, less of a casual bar and more of a sensual one.

Those seeking a higher energy evening may wish to go across the road to Au Vieux Leon.

Be warned it is closed on Sundays and Mondays so plan ahead.
