IBSeptember 16, 2014One of the places within the area which guarantee you nice dining and good service.
Unfortunately, no absinthe, so you can't actually BE Hemingway or Fitzgerald. (Although you can order a drink called the Hemingway.)
TravelByArtJuly 31, 2014This is the place where Pablo Picasso met Dora Maar playing a knife game, who later became his lover. Find out more in iPhone app TravelbyArt. Read more
A piece of cool Paris History! At least have a cappuccino !at Les Deux Magots
Kathryn DOctober 5, 2017Excellent people watching and retains sophistication despite touristic appeal.
Chris R (thechristophe)September 23, 2021They do not have the staff to justify the volumes they try and serve. However, the cheese omelette is the best thing ever.
Helene ScarfFebruary 2, 2013For philosophy lovers. This is where Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre use to have debates.. Its a must.
Christelle ANJanuary 2, 2017This place is known to be fancy...honestly, there's nothing special about the food, it's less than average! Good place to have a glass of wine or some hot drinks but not more than that in my opinion.
Jackson TsaiSeptember 6, 2014I may or just might be sitting in the same table as Ernest Hemingway & Pablo Picasso
- IgjkgfvhSeptember 9, 2015Everything is overpriced, but breakfast offer is reasonable. I know it's not what it used to be but I enjoyed the atmosphere nevertheless
- TravelByArtJuly 31, 2014Ernest Hemingway spent many hours at the Deux Magots, writing or engaging in lively disputes with Simone de Beauvoir. Read more
Derek ErbJune 20, 201416.50 € for a glass of De La Motte Champagne that was opened so long ago there were a half a dozen bubbles left; served with cheap peanuts by an arrogant server.
GregWasThereAugust 14, 2017Over priced but during a glass or two you'll be seating where some great minds where getting drinks a few decades ago...
NathanMay 26, 2015Let's be real, the only reason you're here is because you're a Hemingway/Sartre/Picasso fan (or wannabe).
Sevgi F.November 15, 2016Steak was not fine cooked and very much fatty. Vine and snack would be better other than a dinner!
JaneMarch 31, 2024Popular and historic place for hot chocolate. Expensive and the service isn’t great.
TausSeptember 11, 2018Very touristy but should be expected because of the history of this place. Food and drinks were reasonable.
Jan-Willem CallebautJanuary 8, 2017Typical Parisian café. It's OK. Dont expect too much though. Busy waiters and acceptable dishes / breakfast.
SparkieJanuary 9, 2014A historic classic now touristy and way overpriced but a nice location and good hot chocolate.
