On the corner of the Place des Vosges, under arcades that have stood for four centuries, Café Hugo is the quintessential French café. This finely made cotton cap, in deep green, carries the elegant Café Hugo typography embroidered across the front.
On the back, the café's beloved Miniature Dachshund is embroidered in bright white: playful, yet quietly sophisticated. A high-quality piece to wear through every season. Also available in burgundy.
Tucked beneath the centuries-old arcades of the Place des Vosges, Café Hugo has long been one of the Marais's most cherished addresses. Named for Victor Hugo, who lived just steps away on the square for sixteen years, the café carries something of the writer's Paris: storied, unhurried, and quietly grand.
It welcomes guests from morning until late, the day unfolding at its own pace. From the first espresso between museum visits, long sunny lunches, weekend brunch, and dinners that linger well into the evening. Its kitchen offers classic French cuisine, from onion soup and croques to duck confit, alongside a thoughtful list of wines and cocktails.
Everything about it feels quintessentially Parisian: the mosaic-tiled exterior and golden lettering across the window, the warmth of the wooden bar within, the waiters in their crisp black and white. Charming and timeless, it is the kind of café one returns to again and again.
