In an age where a new bar or restaurant seems to pop up every few minutes, it's always comforting to find a place with long established roots in the city.
Whether its welcoming the day or night crowd, Tabac has been serving hungry and thirsty customers ever since it opened in 1974. Described as a cafe, a restaurant, and a bar, it's fair to say that this Bold Street institution has been a lot of things to a lot of people in its time.
The independent cafe was originally owned by Rita Lawrence and it is still very much a family business. Rita's niece and current owner Elaine Clarke started in the business aged just 16 back in 1984.
