Paris Cafe Review: Cafe du Mogador (9th Arrond.)

// August 27th, 2009 // Cafes

At the suggestion of Helene, I paid a visit to Cafe du Mogador in the 9th Arrondissement. This pleasant cafe sits directly across from the Église de la Sainte-Trinité, a beautifully built Catholic church completed in 1867.

The busy intersection that sits directly between the cafe and the church provides you with plenty to see, including the chaos that is Parisian drivers. The cafe and the sidewalks that surround it are constantly busy with foot traffic, as well, so it makes a great spot for people-watching. The service was pretty standard, though given its good location, the prices run a bit high (4.80 € for my cafe creme).

When you’re done with your drink, you can easily stroll to a number of churches and monuments that aren’t too far away. I chose to stop by the the Église de la Madeleine,  a classical church built to honor the glory of Napoleon’s army, on my way back to Concorde. Overall, this is a great cafe if you want a beautiful monument and lots of people to look at while you enjoy your coffee.
