Love this place so badly! Typical paris bistro with small, but great menu. Everything is so delicious. I could sit here forever and look outside the window to see the real Paris life.

Fred Wilson

Sit outside if it is warm and in the enclosed patio if it's cold. The service can be rushed and the seating can be tight. But the coffee and orange juice are great and the people watching is too

Patri PR

I was looking for history, I found it here. You can almost picture Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir drinking café au lait and sharing a croque madame . Delicious beyond belief.

Journey City Guides

A well-known address celebrated for its famous clientele. A great place for breakfast , people-watching and to see Paris waking up

Russell Hirschorn

Must visit historic cafe , convenient location on St. Germain, table outside has heat lamps , order a Kir with Creme de Casis, s&p chips are great, rival next door Deux Magots

Journey City Guides

A true Parisian experience with its rudely efficient garçons, interesting mix of St Germain crowd and tourists , and high prices. A perfect spot for people watching . Go there for a early/late breakfast

Aylin Arıcan

If you are looking for a local cafe , it is not one of them.There were lots of foreigners like me :)no reservation is required. I tried hot chocalate, it was really good. Worth to try

Berna

Get a table on the sidewalk, have a cup of coffee or glass of cognac , make your day, read a book , gaze around, fell in love with Paris and Parisians, that what I did :)

Isa Sierra

This all-timer still has its charm. Lovely staff . Great wine and cheeses . Perfect to sit, chill and watch people pass by. The cheese platter was specially good.

Bogdan Andrei Bratosin

Wonderfull coffe shop, where many phylosophers and writers used to meet and have phylosophical debates. Nice to sit, drink your coffee and watch the people passing by.

Sacha Quester-Séméon

One of my favorite places. Very good hot chocolate and pastries . Good as well for a lunch , a snack , a drink… People are lovely there! ;)

Natalie Davis

Chablis and people watching at Cafe fe Flore are a must. Can't tell you how many nights I spent here soaking in the culture. Keep your eyes peeled for celebs! All of the garcons are sweethearts.

Nick Turbide

Sit on the terrace (obviously). Order a club sandwich and a Niçoise salad . Look at the beautiful people on Rue de Saint-Germain. Feel the sun on your face. You’re in Paris.

Karri Saarinen

The legendary café of Paris where Jean Paul sartre and Simone de Beauvoir used to go. Le café de Flore is still the most fashionable café of Paris where Artist ,actor,designer like to go.No réservation

Rania

Delicious hot chocolate but it's always hectic in here. If u wanna be sure you'll get a seat, either book in advance or get here past 4.15PM. Avoid the noisy kitchen area where waiters always line up.

Rob Versteeg

Great place for lunch or dinner . Love the service! And if there is a row outside.. worth the short waiting ! I will come back!

Anna Xox

Grab a table outside and watch the world go by. Good wines and the Club Sandwich is excellent.

Tanya V

A must to visit when in Paris. Grand cafe with grand history. More in my review here: http://followthetaste.com/2014/03/05/breakfast-in-paris/

Vildan Yahni

Make sure to sit outside on side street side and treat yourself to a glass of champagne & soak in the atmosphere around you - or try to Le Flore four an extra buzzzz!

Marie La Rue

Essential stop when visiting Paris for coffee or a light lunch . Excellent for people watching . Try the omelette .

Hind A

I loved how it met my classic idea of Parisian cafe . Café viennois & Napoleon was perfect combination.

Chocolate Eclair ♥️

Duygu Okutucu

Staff is very friendly . Sitting at the terrace and watching the street is joy. Scrambled egg with bacon is 12 euro and tastes good. Croissant is good.

John Howarth

An historical left bank gem, frequented by Sartre and de Beauvoir back in the day. One for existentialist people-watching! ;-)

Jeanette Mayland

Very Parisian and cozy . The service is friendly , rather quick and the food is nice. I would go again 🇫🇷

TravelByArt

It was one of favorites places of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald’s. They would come here often and spend whole night just enjoying their time together, sometimes meeting with other writers. Read more

Andrew Pettit

Dubbed the most famous cafe in the world. As an aficiando of coffee shops/cafes, worth the trip. Try the Croque Monsieur , just add mustard .

Mary Isaeva

Beautiful place, good service , if you decide to go there for breakfast order an omelette with cheese and ham and hot chocolate

Na-Young Choi

Mythical coffee place in Paris, full of history, celebrities and tourists but still one of my favorite place to have a late dinner or a simple coffee .

Yoonie S

Looks simple yet the eggs were delicious, bread was crusty and best butter I've ever had! The cappuccino was pretty average and I wouldn't get it again!

Viktor Kovelskiy

It was the strangest Caesar salad I ever had. With bacon . Rolling table. Sticky Onion soup . But legendary fleur is something worth to experience. Keeping in mind €50 average check.

Noona Mohammad

One of the best hot chocolate in the world . Recommend to come in the morning .. the smell of pastries and coffee is awesome 👌🏻

Paris Aéroport

The chef loves scrambled eggs Sunday morning. In the centre of St-Germain-des-Prés, the place is still serving its perfect parade of culinary hits to the who's who of Paris.

Lenia Kioumi

It is worth a visit for a coffee ...try the upper floor if you want a more peaceful atmosphere , or a place to do some writing...

Reszy

Everything is beautiful, foods, coffee and ambiance! a must to dine in place! ❤️

Zeynep Mulvalı

Croissants are a must, make sure to order a few in advance. Enjoyed the pear pie as well .

Saïd Abedi

Cafe de Flore is THE cafe to go in Paris. Great ambient, good staff , great place and greater history behin the cafe

Emily Wilson

Coffee , freshly squeezed orange juice , and soft boiled eggs with baguette soldiers at Flore = perfect Parisian breakfast .

Milli Parkus

They call it the most famous cafe in the world! Hot cocoa was pretty good, expensive but worth the trip!

Harald B.

Traditional coffeehouse , fine pastries , too loud for me inside. In case you a more quiet corner take a table on the first floor or sit outside.

Inna Smbatyan

Café de Flore opened in 1885. Here is the best omlettes in Paris. And great hot chocolate ! Must try!

Ronald DL

Hang around to get a street side table and watch the world go by whilst enjoying one of the many French classics

Whimsical Voyages

This legendary café doesn't disappoint. The menu is limited, but food is good. 'Jockey' and warm goat 's cheese on Pôilane bread were both excellent. Sit outside or just by the windows.

Ilter

Objective Comment! Location & Its Parisian style is wonderful. Best hot chocolote! Napoleon as a desert is decent. Awful waiters and even worse attitudes. Beautiful place which deserves better owners!

aydin

Only open cafe in a sunday morning on st germain ; with the historic memories of jean paul sartre and neighboured by cafe les deux magots...

New York Habitat

In Saint Germain des Pres, this is a great place to relax and watch the diversity of life walking by. Expensive but a Paris must. Try one of their egg dishes !

Rachid Sefrioui

they used to have a delicious hot chocolate ...now it tastes like powder-made hot chocolate ...stick with Carette or Angelina for outstanding hot chocolate in Paris

Wessam Jan

We had a club sandwich was below average, & the hot chocolate was not the best and we had a Mille-feuille it was above available.Staff are friendly , place is busy you should wait in a very long queue.

Mimi M. Nakornthap

Best hot chocolate in Paris, omelette with mushroom and cheese is nice but the place is crowded , service is quite slow and not so nice.

Müriel Palti

Quiche lorraine and chicken club sandwich was delicious. There is always que to enter, we waited around 10-15min on a saturday morning
