Epicerie Caviste 62 Lebec

When you walk on the tree-lined Xinhua Road and come across this red and black coloured cafe with a counter full of croissants, Chausson aux Pommes and Tarte​ aux framboise, I suggest you stop for a break. And this is not just a small cafe and a bakery; as the name suggests, it is also both a grocery store and a wine cellar.

When the sun goes down, Epicerie Caviste 62 transforms into a wine bar. Go inside, and on the left-hand side you'll find a small bar, and to the right, there's a wall of wine refrigerators. The food choices are not many, but all are traditional French dishes: the half-cooked duck Foie Gras with Cognac, chicken with Vin Jaune, black truffles Brie cheese are all excellent.

​There is no actual wine list, but around 300 different bottles to choose from, all displayed on the walls and in the refrigerators. There's also a monthly offering of around 7-8 wines by the glass. This place is a joy to every wine lover.
