Le Bontemps
Grenoble, France
The read// why locals go
Café Bontemps sits on Rue Saint-Hugues in central Grenoble, cooking homemade brunch plates from local, seasonal ingredients. The kitchen works in both directions: savoury dishes that make a real meal of brunch, and a counter of house pastries for whatever comes after. It is a single-address café, run independently rather than to a formula, and Grenoble food blogs put it on their shortlists for exactly that reason — weekends fill quickly enough that a reservation is the sensible move. Vegetarian and vegan eaters are looked after, there is a terrace for the days the valley cooperates, and plates land around ten euros.
