Cafe pics from overseas

admin · April 2013

Ok a last couple of pics for now; Cafe de Flore is one of those 'famous' classic cafe names of Paris, where all sort of writers and artists used to gather in the 18thC. It really has an amazing ambience [see couple of pics] but once again, the coffee was undrinkable... but I guess that's not why you go there?? A :doh:

I've been to that one - you're right, great ambience in a really interesting part of town. I wasn't into coffee those days, so I can't comment on that aspect. :thumb:

Ok here's another one of Flore I found as I was going through my files... take a close look at the woman dressed in black on the right hand side ... looks like she's seen a ghost! A :D

for those who couldn't see on their screen with above shot - take a look at this close up [not only the woman, but the supercilious look on the face of her husband] - classic!

Ok, pretty much the last of these now [from my ParisCafeCrawl] -- Aux Deux Magots, once frequented by such literary greats as Verlaine, Rimbaud and Oscar Wilde, as distinct from the previous Cafe de Flore [which was frequented by such artists/intellectuals as Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir]... coffee's pretty much the same standard in each, but at the end of the day, it's not about the coffee :-| A PS many english-speakers [myself included] might be wondering why you would name a cafe along the lines of the 'two maggots' [deux of course being 'two' in english]. In fact the name refers to the statues of two confucian wise men, inside.

Abbott House in Dunfermline. This used to be my fathers favourite cafe. As today is an important date to me, it is as good a day as any to post it. Associated with Dunfermline Abbey next door (where many Scottish nobles are buried including Robert the Bruce), the building dates back at least to 1571, but possibly older. It did survive the great fire of 1624. If you go there, the haggis is good, as are the scones, but avoid the coffee!

So Ewan is this the same Dunfermline town that the song is written about, I am sure you would know the song ,,.....

If you mean the Ballad of Sir Patrick Spens, which begins The kings sits in Dunfermline town, Drinking the blood red wine o Then yes, it is the same place and some stanzas from that song are painted on the walls of the cafe. Of course there are plenty of other songs about the place as too many bands to mention come from Dunfermline.

cool Beanz - hope you're having a good time over there [slightly envious :-|] - has the weather cleared up?

Beanz · June 2013

It has been quite cool the last few days and raining on and off. I would welcome any sugestions for cafes that "must" be visited in Milan, Florence or Rome. I have not had much luck searching threads for suggestions. Looking forward to getting to Mumac !

The wood is supplied by the local farmers in exchange for bread baked in the oven, this sounded quite extraordinary but after checking and rechecking we were confident that the story was correct and that there was no misunderstanding

I established a better understanding of the barter process later. The old unsold bread is swapped for wood, the old bread is then used as feed for the farmers animals. They also buy in wood. Makes more sense now !

Cafe Badilatti is located in Zuoz, Switzerland. It is a 3rd generation coffee roaster, cafe and now also includes a museum. They are the highest coffee roaster in Europe at 1715m ASL. They use a 51 year old Probat roasting 60Kg at a time. A beautiful location situated across the road from the river surrounded by snow capped mountains. The cafe is in the orange coloured building.
