Ben RAugust 23, 2014Breakfast or late night glass of wine. Sit outside. There are cheaper cafés with better food in Paris, but few places better to sit back and enjoy the magic of the city.
Upvoted 2 weeks ago- Lily VovchakMay 14, 2018We visited this cafe 3 times while being in Paris. Really cool kitchen and service. Steak is very good and of big portion, Duck is also nice, Fish with spinach is a good choice for vegetarians.Upvoted 2 days ago
Jarkyn SMarch 28, 2016Fancy cafe, my Parisian friend took us there. They serve renowned Pierre Herme pastries. The Croque Monsieur roast beef & baguette sandwich are meant to be the best. Hot chocolate is thick & sweet!Upvoted Oct 6
Anton WilliamsDecember 12, 2011Café crème 6€; whisky soda 12€-16€; main courses 22€-36€. The café is featured in the 1973 film The Mother and the Whore directed by Jean Eustache and in the 1959 film The Sign of Leo by Eric Rohmer.
Jonas TimmMarch 12, 2017A Parisian must! Great for sitting back and watching people pass. Delicious coffee or tea and tartes or eclairs, served by elegant waiters sporting classical attire (who speak English very willingly).- Anton SkrypnykSeptember 3, 2019Historical cafe with French cuisine! Located in most expensive place, so the prices are .... My advice, to choose some aperitif drink and enjoy! Prices for drinks between 8-20 euros 💶
- Corentin CombalbertDecember 4, 2018You have to go here for their pastries ! If you don't know this place, this is one of the famous cafés in Paris. Try the Grog, this is the coffee to taste it.
Kirsten AlexaJanuary 23, 2015That onglet de boeuf though... After a long wait at L'Entrecôte (best steak in Paris) this was the backup, and the steak was no less amazing
Baran von IsikNovember 4, 2015It used to be the the hangout place of Paris intelligentsia in the past. Great people watching spot on St. Germaine boulevard. Don't miss millefeuille and Pierre Herme desserts.
Magdalena MrázkováJanuary 29, 2018Perfectly positioned opposite St Germain des Pres church with delicious hot chocolate and croissant. Ideal place for an elegant French breakfast
Chris PhillipsJuly 31, 2017This café pushes its literary and intellectual credentials quite a bit. As a result, the food and drink is a bit pricey, but we enjoyed ours. Try the omelettes for a filling lunch!
Lenia KioumiMarch 17, 2016One of my favorite places to enjoy my coffee with a tarte & a good book! The service is lovely, too!
Karri SaarinenJuly 6, 2016Famous with a reputation as the rendezvous of the literary and intellectual élite of the city. It is associated with famous names, such as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ernest Hemingway

Jennifer WeiDecember 24, 2012Once frequented by writers such as Wilde & Hemingway, this place will spark the most intellectual conversations. Enjoy the chocolat chaud after brunch and it will set the mood for the rest of the day.- Derek ErbJune 20, 2014Please forget the fact that the famous writers and artists used to come here. You won't see any of them here now not will you find any current author or artist. They're more intelligent than that. ...

Katie SchlossFebruary 10, 2012Bring a copy of A Moveable Feast and enjoy a Salade Deux Magot with a cup of the best Café au Lait in town. This popular French bistro is a spot Hemingway used to frequent and with good reason.
Petra RosanicsFebruary 21, 2021tipically the type of place you go to feel where (literary) history has been made. an unmissable spot for hemingway fans but rather pricy.
