Looking through time
Cafe de florVot at the tables of the street cafe fundebating a circle of surrealists led by young Spaniard Dali and his Russian wife. But no less young, but already recognized maitre - Picasso - throws three strokes on a white sheet and with this sketch pays for lunch. The spirit of Bohemia is still in restaurants, cabarets, and pubs, where Oscar Wilde or Paul Verlaine once sought inspiration. Of course, time cannot be turned back, and yet it is pleasant to drink the tart mulled wine at an old table, to which the sign “Renoir sat here modestly” is modestly nailed. So, where to find a similar table? Quite a lot of places, we will tell about the most famous ... Bohemian Paris Yes, it was the capital of France that was the heart of the bohemian life of Europe a century ago. Therefore, about its famous restaurants say separately. The most famous cafes in Paris are “Agile Rabbit” and “Two Mills” in Montmartre - the very ones that “lit up” in the movie “Amelie”. And also “Café de Flor” and “Prokop” in the Latin Quarter - the creative poor like Utrillo and Modigliani used to gather here, and today, they say, you can meet Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Paul Belmondo and other French celebrities.
The Agile Rabbit is a flirty red house.with green shutters and a noticeable sign on which a brisk rabbit jumps out of the pan at the last moment. Once it was a village eatery called "Cabaret killers." Here, however, they did not kill anyone - they only fought on verbal fights on literary themes. In 1902, the famous chansonnier Aristide Bruand bought this squash and ordered a new sign to his friend Anra Gilles. It was he who drew a funny sign, from which the name of the place went. Not all visitors, however, favored the artists of Montmartre and their modern painting. One writer, somehow, wanting to laugh at their "daubs", in the presence of many witnesses, tied a brush to the tail of an ass and framed a canvas. "The Artist" worked hard to fame. Her masterpiece, called "Sunset over the Adriatic", came to the Salon of Independent Artists, was a resounding success and was sold for 400 francs!
The current owners still cherish in the "Agilerabbit "creative atmosphere. In the evenings, many come here to drink cherry liqueur and listen to the French accordion. In the half-dark zalchik songs catch all those present and it is already difficult to make out who is the visitor here and who is the artist. One by one, this includes singers, comedians, mimes, and after their performance they rush on - to the next bohemian institution. For example, in Galette - one of two famous Parisian windmills (the second Moulin Rouge). Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec - they all painted this picturesque corner of Montmartre. Across Europe, Americain Cafe is considered the greatest of all the great cafes of such a bohemian city like Amsterdam. Suffice it to say that it was here that Mata Hari arranged a reception on the occasion of her wedding. 
Bewley's Oriental Café is located in Dublin.He has an interesting story. At one time, two giants of Irish literature loved to look for inspiration in this institution: Oscar Wilde and James Joyce. Bewley's Oriental Café is famous for Bewley's tea and Bewley's breakfast. The Central coffee house was opened in Vienna in the 19th century. According to Trotsky, it was in this cafe that the Russian revolution originated. Where, if not here, you can taste real Viennese coffee and delicious apple. Opera Café in Stockholm is a place for cultural tea drinking only during the day, it is a nightclub at night. Both Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman sat in Opera. However, there is a much fresher memory of Madonna's visit to this Stockholm institution. Gourmets advise to try marinated herring here for lunch and drink a glass of strong Aquavit. 
Cafe Florian is located in the heart of Venice,on St. Mark's Square. The interior of the Murano glass delights modern tourists no less than at the time Casanova, Byron, Goethe and Proust. Visiting Café Florian, you should definitely try a piece of haute-couture cake. The extravagant cafe Metropole was founded in Brussels in the 19th century and became much more famous than the hotel where it is located. At one time, Albert Einstein and Marie Curie were often seen here. A couple of times here he missed a glass or two and Paul Verlaine, but only when fate threw a little money to a beggar poet. The rest of the time, he and his young friend Rambo were a frequenter of cheap wine glasses, which had long since disappeared from the face of the Belgian capital.
