Few Cafes in Europe can boast of belonging to the elite of intellectuals, writers, journalists … and Cafe Louvre is one of them
Opened in 1902 in the current Narodni street 20. After climbing a staircase beautiful decorated. we arrived at Cafe louvre on the first floor.
You are greeted by a smart waiter dressed in traditional french cafe attire .The smell of coffee is all around on the first floor.
During the morning we can enjoy pastries, cakes, breakfast dishes, coffee or tea. In the evening salads, sandwiches or soups are offered to visitors.
The rooms are elegantly decorated in a style similar to old European Cafes such as Paris or Vienna.
- Shade pale walls
- Mirrors
- Elegant Furniture
- Large windows give great light to the Cafe and let us see the hustle in Ferdinand and Narodni Avenues where cars, trams and people are passing by the whole day
During Communism (1948) the cafe had to shut down and the building was damaged. The building was abandoned.
Finally, in 1992 improvements works were carried out and Cafe Louvre re-openned trying to keep the essence of the past years.
Where the pool tables used to be, there is now a special room which works as a Restaurant. The nice pool area is now next to the Cafe
Really we recommend a visit if you want to enjoy a very laid back atmosphere and let your mind go back to 30 `s
