Einstein, Jung, James Joice. Right in Bellevue, the iconic spot for intellectuals gathering since its opening in 1911, Cafe Odeon is the perfect mix of Cafe and bar, although I prefer it as the latter.

Great food court with casual and young atmosphere, little shops and my favourite ice cream place: Gelateria Di Berna. Not covered, therefore not recommended on rainy days.
