Cravan

While Cravan positions itself primarily as a cocktail bar, the food program demonstrates the same commitment to quality and careful sourcing that defines the drinks menu. The approach is deliberately focused—a short, curated selection that prioritizes excellence over variety, with dishes designed to complement rather than compete with the cocktail experience. The menu spans from classic French bar snacks to more substantial small plates, with prices ranging from 5-12€ for lighter options. Standout items include perfectly executed œufs mimosa, showcasing the French talent for elevating simple preparations through technique and quality ingredients. Norman oysters represent the bar's commitment to sourcing premium products, bringing a taste of the coast to this urban setting. An unexpected highlight comes in the form of soba noodles, demonstrating a willingness to look beyond traditional French bar food while maintaining high standards. For those seeking more substantial fare, the menu offers several elevated options. The lobster roll, priced at 26€, represents the premium end of the offerings—a luxurious interpretation of this classic that justifies its price point through quality and execution. The roasted aubergine (10€) provides a vegetable-forward option that showcases seasonal produce and careful preparation. The crab tarama (10€) offers another seafood-focused choice, bringing Mediterranean flavors to the menu. The current food program remains intentionally limited to snacks and small plates, reflecting the bar's primary identity as a cocktail destination. This focused approach ensures that each dish receives proper attention and maintains consistent quality, while the concise selection makes decision-making easy for guests primarily focused on the drinks. The carefully sourced ingredients throughout the menu demonstrate that even in a bar setting, Cravan maintains high culinary standards.
