From the sublime to the ... ridiculously cool ! Les mondes Bohemes, a small hidden away cafe in the 20th Arrondissement, wedged between Avron and Alexandre Dumas on the line 2, is a real gem of a place and somewhere I hope to return to soon.

The last time we had brunch together we were disappointed with the service, the food, and the ambiance. Here the service was great (two French ladies who were very friendly), the food was better than the service, and the place has a really cool, bohemian feel to it, fitting to a relaxed sunday brunch/lunch.
We sat inside next to the bookshelves, where they have poker sets, dominos, as well as books/guides that you can just pick up and look through. There is a great terrace that I imagine is full in the summer, and has heating for the colder periods for those who like a cheeky tab.

The brunch menu was very good value for money, and very filling. We started with a Pain au chocolat or Croissant each, served with a glass of fruit juice (Grapefruit, Apple, Orange, Mango) as well as a tea or coffee. Moving on to the main course, we had scrambled egg that was perfectly fluffy, salad, as well as jambon du pays. This wasn't too filling but we of course had bread that complimented the meal, as in France : sans pain, rien ne va !
Part of the Brunch deal gives you a dessert as well, which isn't necessarily ideal for those of us training for marathons next year, but 5 of the 7 people at our table had the Creme Brulee which was tasty, and the other two of us had the 'Cremeux de chocolat' which had cream made in-house, and a thick chocolate mousse that went down a treat.
Overall this was a really nice experience, nice people, good food and a cool atmosphere. I would definitely return here. A strong 4 out of 5 !
