If you’re looking for something stronger than a regular espresso, a “café serré” is your top choice.
This French coffee drink uses the same amount of coffee as an espresso but with half the amount of water, resulting in a darker and more concentrated drink. It’s essentially a French version of what Italians call “ristretto.”
This potent drink is served in a small cup, offering an intense and robust flavor.
To order it, say, “Je voudrais un serré, s’il vous plaît.”
