Fred’s Bistreau Table

A trimmed-down café table—just enough surface for two plates, a bottle, and the habit of lingering. Fred’s Bistreau sets a powder-coated aluminum top on a single steel stem that drops into a cast-iron base, so it feels light to move yet refuses to wobble once you’ve parked it. Twist the discreet foot pads if your patio isn’t quite level. The finish shrugs off UV glare and surprise showers; a quick wipe sends crumbs and coffee rings packing. Square in plan, rounded at the corners, it pulls up neatly against a balcony rail or slides between two lounge chairs without crowding the walk-through. Pair it with one or two Fred chairs for an impromptu breakfast station, or line up several in a row when the party needs grazing space. When the season shifts, the top unbolts and the whole thing tucks into storage without drama.
