Street BKK Grill & Beer - Canal

Set in the former Récollets convent, this café is closed off by stone walls that are high enough to make you forget that you’re next to the Gare de l’Est. In summer, it’s the perfect place to work outdoors or get lost in a book. There are trees, gravel, loungers, and tranquillity. It’s like being in the country! The lounge chairs are in limited supply, so go right when they open to snag one.
