Little Henri

Cafe

The spacious interiors and paved courtyard of this prominent former bank are blessed with natural light, while a semicircular counter wraps around the building’s original vault. Breakfasts offer substance over finesse: avocado forked on toast with field mushrooms, thyme, Persian feta and basil leaves. Baguettes are so bursting with ingredients, like diced poached chicken and almonds with mayo and spinach leaves, that they are tied with string. Evening set-price menus might bend the budget but service is pretty sharp any time and coffee is doled out with authority; the perfect foil for a slice of carrot cake topped with crushed pistachio. Oui oui, On-ri.
