The Café de la Jetée sits near the waterfront at the edge of the avant-port, with terrace seating that looks out over the harbour approach and the coming and going of ferries and cargo ships. It is the kind of café that exists to be sat in for an hour watching the water — good coffee, cold beer, a workable croque-monsieur.
The location puts it close to the MuMa, making it a natural stop before or after a visit to the museum. On summer evenings the terrace fills with a mix of port workers, sailors, and tourists — a genuinely cosmopolitan crowd that reflects Le Havre's character as a working maritime city.
Address: Near Boulevard Clemenceau, 76600 Le Havre.
