One of the Best place for a romantic dinner in Paris. Very good onion soup and duck breast . Check also the toilette and the local. Very Historical place for a super restaurant . Super details attention

Anton Skrypnyk

Voltaire was here preparing the revolution ) so you neeed go to here. The place is expensive ,but for 2 glass of wine ( 10 euros) you can see 18 century restaurant ????

Miroslav Vitanov

Very authentic interior, the food was more than delicious and the staff is friendly . It’s not as expensive as it is said, at least by the Parisian standard.

Hernan Huwyler

Oldest historic restaurant in Paris which intact decor evokes the French Revolution and famous visitors from Napoleon to Franklin. Good local food and polite service .

I've read many negative reviews of this place, but I have no idea why. The food was very good (french soup amazing!), service ok. Place is very authentic .

Shawn Callahan

Napoleon 's hat is in the foyer on the back entrance. You can take a look without having to enter the restaurant . They say Benjamin Franklin penned a good portion of the U.S. Constitution here.

Q Roberson

Good food, but not amazing. The real beauty is in the ambiance & history. The service standards also make the dining experience enjoyable. Go here just to say you did, but don't expect to be wowed.

My number one must-see upon my next visit to Paris. The oldest cafè in the world. Sorry, Florian - you come second.

Nikos Krodiras

Historical place with a really unique decor . Service was friendly and polite. Food was not as good as expected. Coq au vin was okay, the sauce was pretty watery and you couldn't really feel the wine .

Oldest cafe in the world & regular hangout of Napoleon & Voltaire . Super interesting place, but walk in, look around, stay for a coffee/wine, & walk out. Overpriced and mediocre at best.
