POLUX TURNS 7!

From lazy morning coffee to late-night bites, Polux has been your go-to French café and bistro in town. Seven years in, merci to all our dear friends and partners-in-crime, you’ve made Polux what it is today: lively, buzzy, and always delicious.

Birthday treat? Of course. And we’re feeling generous (the French way):
March 23rd – 29th
Buy-One-Get-One by bottle on selected French wines

So raise a glass - À votre santé!
Seven looks good on us.
