5 /5 Neil F: If coffee could apply for a knighthood, the one at Fabrice Brasserie would already be practising its acceptance speech. This place quietly sits there looking elegant while producing cups of coffee so good they make you question every life choice that led you to drink instant in the past.
The coffee is rich, smooth and properly made, not rushed, not bitter, not pretending to be something it is not. It turns up hot, balanced and ready to improve your entire mood in under three sips. It is the kind of coffee that makes you say “oh” out loud without meaning to.
The brasserie itself is calm, classy and welcoming. You can sit and chat, sit and work, or sit and stare lovingly at your cup while wondering if it would be socially acceptable to order another one immediately. The staff are friendly, unflustered and seem genuinely pleased that you have chosen to be there.
Fabrice Brasserie is the sort of place you go for a quick coffee and somehow stay far longer than planned. It is dangerous in the best possible way. If you value your time, your wallet and your happiness, enter with caution.
