Café Pistou

An exquisite taste of Southern France has come to Exmouth Market. Café Pistou is a Provencal brasserie serving up a neat selection of smaller plates, creative concoctions and French artisan coffees seven days a week.

The venue’s selection of Pissaladieres – intricate puff pastry tarts emanating from Nice – are must tries. Lighter snacks like the chorizo and goats cheese and the tomato, basil and sticky onion omelette are all kinds of tasty, and there’s more indulgent treats like their signature lamb cutlets with basil pistou if you’re in the mood for something more substantial.

Once you’ve cleared your plate you’ll want to kick back at the striking horseshoe-shaped bar area, which delivers south of France twists on classic cocktails and takes pride in the strength of its carefully selected wine list.

An all-rounder there for a swift breakfast and stopping by later in the evening alike, there’s also an alfresco area perfect for the warmer months.
