Cat Cafes in Grenoble, Auvergne Rhone Alpes

Grenoble, Auvergne Rhone Alpes

Neko ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​⁠Café is a cat cafe and tea room on Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the pedestrian centre of Grenoble. Opened in 2016, it was the city's first bar à chats. After a change of owners in summer 2026 it reopened on 12 September 2026 with a new team and a new group of six sociable resident cats. The cats live freely in the cafe and visitors are their guests, with house rules that let the cats choose when to approach. Visitors order from a menu of teas, coffees, hot chocolates, sweets and light food; before the change of owners the cafe was known for Japanese-inspired sweets such as mochi, Japanese groceries and kawaii gifts. At busy times visitors may have to wait briefly outside for a seat, as turnover is fairly quick.

Kattkrogen, ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​⁠which calls itself the cat tavern of Grenoble, is a small cat cafe on Place Claveyson in the pedestrian streets of the old town, a short walk from Place Grenette. It opened in September 2025. Its name is Swedish for cat tavern, and the cosy interior has stone walls, walls papered with old book pages, board games and books. Three resident cats, among them Jaurès and Logan, live in the cafe and come and go among the tables. Visitors order from a menu of hot and cold drinks, including seasonal lattes and hot chocolates, homemade crêpes and sweet and savoury snacks, with halal and vegetarian options, and the cafe holds occasional film nights. The cafe asks guests to follow its house rules so the cats can rest when they want. It is open six days a week, with shorter hours on Sundays.
