Café Borghèse

Unpretentious portside food and wine
Word to the wise: Café Borghèse has a generous happy hour from 5pm-7pm where cocktails are EUR 5.50 and a glass of wine is EUR 2.50. Try a glass with some Camembert for EUR 5.
Popular plate: The simple but perfectly prepared gnocchi in sage butter is a particular favourite.
When you want to escape the bustle of the old town, consider Café Borghèse your perfect lunchtime retreat. A firm favourite with the art crowd, those who venture through the doors of this café's nondescript exterior will be greeted by a wonderfully cosy gem: all dark wood, distressed walls, wrought iron and seductive low lighting.
The petit but exquisitely selected menu features classic dishes such as salted duck breast with mashed potatoes and steak with parsley butter and fries, all served in a low-key but stylish way, as befitting the decor.
