Super restaurant avec un menu de brasserie typique avec une histoire incroyable , le service est impeccable.

Love it just like going back in time very professional staff and great food plus the location is in a very nice area

This is one of my favorite French restaurants in all of Paris. For being a fine dining café, their prices are reasonable (between 10-20 for appetizers and 20-50 for mains). The service was excellent, and everything we are and drank was delicious. The standout dish for me was their duck confit, and the red wine our table shared was perfect. Dinner here with a big group lasts at least two hours, so be prepared, but you'll enjoy every second. Book in advance. read more

First let me start by saying I love the historical flavor of this restaurant, it is finely appointed and the staff were very good. We started with the burrata with candied tomatoes and the artichoke salad. The burrata was perfect. I didn't get the candied part. The artichoke salad was delicious. The carafe of house red was very good. Got to laugh that house wine here is, French Wine. The main course was a different story. While my wife's Stuffed Saddle of Lamb was tender and flavorful, my Coq au Vin was mostly Bone, Cartilage and Skin. I had to literally scrape meat off the bone. I did not get thigh or leg pieces. I got joint pieces with very little meat. I understand that the origins of this dish is that it is a peasant dish, but at these prices I shouldn't be getting the parts you would otherwise throw out. I should have complained mid meal but I waited until after to point out my dissatisfaction. It was noted and that was all. No one came to discuss this with me. The Profiteroles dessert was a high point and a great end to the meal. When we got the check no consideration was given to my dinner. I'm sorry but charging me full price for scraps of meat diminished the night's meal for me. Advice, go enjoy, but don't order the Coq au Vin. read more

Historically it is a treasure and it is a lovely site. But I was sorely disappointed in my food. I was intrigued by the traditional meals and our immediate neighbors that just dined at the next table highly recommended the plate I was considering. They promised it was the best they had ordered. But mine? Was not seasoned, was dry and tasted as if it were cooked 3 days ago. Such a let down. Especially considering the price! Also, I was told this is the oldest restaurant in Paris? Evidently this is not true? Not much to get me to return. read more

Le Procope - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Underwhelming and upsetting. I booked this place to celebrate my husband and I's anniversary during our honeymoon and completely regretted it. Wasted 2 whole hours of waiting for cold food and being disrespected when there are tons of other great French restaurants nearby had to be the most infuriating experience in Paris. Everyone around was served and finished their meals before we were even given an update on our food. Even guests that came after us and noticeably "French" were also served first. Don't know if they just didn't like the fact that we were Americans... but we were not treated well and it ruined our French dining experience for sure. The building is old and crowded. Just take your dime somewhere else! Oh, and they still made us pay for our appetizers when we asked to leave 2 hrs in... read more

La Jacobine was on vacay and this one had glowing reviews. One of the few times that I didn't agree with Yelp. The wait just to take our orders was a good 15 minutes if not longer. We were seated next to three smoking chimneys. This was the first waiter in Paris we've encountered who was writing our orders. Just an observation, not a criticism. The only redeeming dishes were the two entrèe: oafs mayonnaise and Ravioles de Dauphinè. They were delicious. I've always wondered how the French could elevate eggs in a very elegant way. The Soupe à l'oignon gratinèe looked promising, but so mediocre. And the Traditional Cog Au Vin under their Historic Recipes, was sadly the most disappointing. It was presented beautifully in a brassy pot set on their signature plate. Mind you the meat was tender but once again, lacking in flavour. I was so sad. It needed salt, which would have been an insult to ask. I just wanted to leave at this point. So, non messieurs... I will take my coffee somewhere else. I felt like we wasted close to two hours of lacklustre meal and an almost non existent service. You pay via QR Code. read more

The service is slow. With no reservation, you will have to wait min 30 min. I recieved my mash potatoes 15 min after my beef....

An amazing dining experience! Even as solo diner without a reservation I was treated so well. Service was warm and impeccable. The 25 € lunch special was a great value. I'm a vegetarian and had the ravioli starter and risotto entree. Both super delicious. The interior obviously historic and elegant. Best Paris dining experience!!! read more

Une des seules brasserie à Paris qui a gardé le charme, le service et la qualité de la nourriture du siècle dernier. Les prix sont plus hauts comparé à d'autres brasseries, très remplis aux heures du dîner, réservation très recommandées read more

Although it was so nice to eat at a historic location, and I did enjoy walking through the inside of the restaurant to transform back into time. The service was slow, mainly because there's so many guests and only one or two servers. The French onion soup was very bland and escargot was cold and chewy, I am sure they were previously frozen. We asked for them to bring a new one and I'm almost certain they just put that under a broiler and sent it back out. I did however enjoy sitting outside in the alley and looking at the buildings. The view was beautiful but will not recommend anyone wasting time reserving this restaurant for food when there are so many other places in Paris with amazing food. read more

Came with friends for a birthday. They prepared the incorrect dish for me, and then the kitchen was closed so they couldn't prepare what I originally ordered. They also forgot one of the appetizers that I ordered (so now two fumbles). The food was mediocre at best, and so was the service. With as much as we paid, I expected way better. They also charged for our friend's birthday dessert, which after a $500 meal we would have thought was complimentary. The only saving Grace was their French onion soup. read more

Above and beyond. Great experience and delicious food at quite a historical place. Portions are reasonable in size and absolutely delicious read more

What a cozy place tucked in a cozier locale. The food was exceptional and service impeccable. Nothing to complain about here. All 4 of us had different dishes and loved them but the overall winner of the night - the butter!! Who would have thought. Too bad we can't get this back home in the states! read more

Claimed to be the oldest cafe in Paris. Definitely a historic place frequented by Voltaire and Ben Franklin. We had the set menu of Lyonnaise sausage with salad, duck liver pâté, braised beef, and dessert (chocolate mousse and coffee panna cotta). The other diners in our party ordered a la carte with sea bream with mussels and truffle risotto. Food was phenomenal, but there was some miscues at service where they completely forgot about the side dishes for the main course. Reservations are a must. Can't take a chance to walk in as it is a popular spot. Ambiance is great because of the historical significance. read more

Food was bland. Service started well and then nose dived after it became busier. Very loud, ambiance is whatever the table next to you is talking about. How do you ruin crème brûlée? Completely average yet overpriced meal. read more

Wonderful food, historic restaurant, if it's good enough for Napoleon and Ben Franklin it's good enough for me!

This restaurant is a Parisian establishment. The history is dripping off the walls. Original art work. Napoleons hat. Benjamin Franklin's salon. Voltaire's desk! The ambiance is both historical and elegant. Our wait staff was top notch! A tip for those dining in the summer. The original building has no AC - be advised! The menu had all the French classics from escargot to foie pate and onion soup. All delicious! For my meal I had duck foie pate which was served simply with toast and dig jam. My entree was beef cheeks with macaroni which absolutely hit the mark. I highly recommend it! For dessert we had a few options at the table including a floating island which was a lovely mound of egg whites, firm enough to have texture but soft and lovely. This was in a soup of vanilla and caramel sauce. Simply wonderful. When in Paris, eat here! read more

Amazing late lunch during Christmas time ! We actually visited twice , the last day was Christmas Eve for a very late lunch. Service was amazing both times. Great selections of champagnes and wine that paired well with our meals. The salmon was cooked perfectly as well as the risotto. My husband loved his food. Always thought this place was a tourist trap and boy was I wrong! read more

Very historic restaurant, oldest cafe in Paris, beautiful building and reasonable food.

High end service in a popular place. All the food was excellent. Only knock was the 50 cl carafe of red was bottom of bottle and not filtered so carafe had sediment on bottom so one of our party did not finish final glass as did not want to drink the sediment. The coq au vin was so good planned to see if they had a cookbook so could attempt to cook. Weakest dish was apple tart though looked beautiful which was a bit dry. Make sure to make reservation. read more

We are tourists and we did not do our research before we walked in. Apparently, it is a popular restaurant with long history. Maybe because we are not used to the French style. They are really slow. First we waited 30 mins to get the special menu ( philosophy menu). Then, it took another 30 -40 mins to get the starter. Another 20 mins to get the main course. Another 30 - 40 mins to get the dessert. It seems every one waits long time, so I was waiting patiently at the beginning until I noticed the table came after us, get their main course before us and get their dessert much earlier than we did, even we finished our main course earlier. And they did not even clean our table before they serve the dessert to the other table. So we asked if can we have the dessert. The waiter gave us the menu. And we had to tell him we ordered the crème brûlée already. And he "surprisingly" asked "you want one or two". So it sounds like he forgot our order. So we asked if he forgot. He said no, the crème brûlée is ready. Then ~ 10 mins, we got the dessert. At the end, because we ordered from the philosophy menu which includes the main course and dessert, it should be a little cheaper order separately. But they charged us separately as they appears on the regular menu. Not much difference though. So we said just keep it, even they offer to gave us cash. To be honest, their good are good. We like the duck confit and the fish. But I don't think it is worth the wait. And I think it may be because our waiter has to wait more than 10 tables at the same time. And he himself knows about the long wait poor review as well. But they do not seem to care much. read more

Let's start of by establishing that this is one of the oldest running restaurants in Paris. It looks high end but really, it's just old school. Come here for classic home style French food. Do not expect great service, do not expect air conditioning, do not expect your gluten free or hyperallergenic air. Do expect classic buttery rich French food. I came here off a recommendation from a friend and was sweating upstairs until they opened the window. We ordered escargot, foie gras, beef cheeks, and veal. Everything took forever to order and to receive. Welcome to Paris where service sucks and you need to deal with it. That said, the food was pretty amazing. I'd come back despite the awful service. And that's how they're still around since the 1600s. read more

This restaurant is down an alleyway where there are a handful of places to stop and eat or drink. I think we stopped here because there were available tables on the patio. I dislike how everywhere in Paris crams entirely too many tables and chairs into a location, but I digress... I think this is one of the older restaurants in Paris and that probably had something to do with our decision. It's white table cloth service. We ordered a bottle of wine and some onion soup and cheese plate as this was our 2nd lunch of the day (lol) and we were peckish but not hungry. The wine was lovely. The food was lovely. The service was pretty much non-existent, which we actually appreciated not being bothered. We did end up pouring our own wine... when another server noticed this, he looked absolutely APPALED but mostly at us and less at his coworkers. You pay your bill through a QR code provided at the table for what it's worth. Anyhow, it was lovely but one and done kind of place for us. read more

We went here more for the history than anything else. I wanted to dine at the oldest restaurant in Paris and try recipes that were hundreds of years old. We arrived right at our reservation time in the evening and there was a line out the door. I was amazed the entire place was packed. All sorts of people were there from babies to seniors and all in between. We were seated in a semi private booth on the first floor. It was a nice little area where we could admire some antiques around us. It took a while to order and I can see how some people don't like that but I found it common in French restaurants so we decided to enjoy each other's company and our last night in Paris. It got quite warm in the restaurant also, so luckily we could remove a few layers. Our waiter asked what language we wanted our menu in. We obviously asked for English. Chinese must have sat at our table before us because we found a stack of Chinese menus right behind our heads on the bookshelf. We were brought out a cup of olives and a bowl of bread soon after. I ordered the Coq au Vin, my husband had the escargot and duck breast and my daughter ordered steak and fries. It took a bit longer to get our food but we managed to not complain too much and instead head up the stairs to check out Napoleons hat and other interesting furniture upstairs. My coq a vin was great! I loved the potatoes and sauce. I was so thankful they brought out another basket of bread to dip in the sauce. My husbands duck was amazing, I almost wished I had ordered that instead. My daughter was just happy she had fries and that I toted ketchup along in my purse for her. (Ketchup seemed hard to come by in Paris) For dessert we shared the Paris-Brest and espresso. The little espressos came with a mini muffin on top. The Paris-Brest was better than any other I've ever had. I loved it. read more

Our first meal in Paris has to be at one of the oldest cafes dating back to the 1600! I loved the vintage vibe of the restaurant. Classic old world charm. It added a lot of character to the dining experience. The escargot was nice and buttery. The beef tartar was seasoned well and the beef was fresh. We really enjoyed the french onion soup with all of it's cheesy goodness. Delicious traditional french meal! read more

I enjoyed my dinner. I showed up with no reservation on a Friday night. But he put me on the list for 45 minutes and I was in by 1045pm. Service was fine - and the food very tasty. I had hoped for the historic menu Boeuf bourginon but it was not on. So I went for the filet and foie gras. The accompanying mashed potatoes were superb. I had enough room for a Poire Hélène dessert - which had some amazing chocolate.... House wine in carafe was reasonably priced and a reasonable quality. Fun to be able to eat at this institution. read more

Food was average I had mushroom risotto but we came here because it's the oldest restaurant in Paris and beautiful inside. Slowest service but there was only one server in a big area of the restaurant so I can't blame him. I wouldn't eat there again if I'm in Paris. It's a one time deal. read more

A historic institution and one of the oldest continuously operated restaurants in Paris since 1686, the Mon-Sat 3 course pre-fix lunch special: appetizer, entree, and dessert for 35.00 euros is a steal. An entree alone costs that much.

An incredible place to visit with your trip to Paris. This restaurant used to be visited by the likes of Napoleon (you can see his hat upstairs), Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, and many other great revolutionary thinkers. It even has an old musky smell from all the books- absolutely loved the ambiance. Food was wonderful as well, just disappointed that they didn't do anything extra to make for my mothers birthday which was with the reservation. We started with snails and a French onion soup which were both delicious. For mains we got the kidney, the "Macaroni and cheese" with veal, and I got the revolutionnaires so steak with foie gras. My dish had a very tiny piece of foie gras but other than that the dishes where absolutely delicious and we all enjoyed it. To finish off we shared a creme brûlée which was also very good. Definitely recommend a visit, while touristy,it's still an incredible place to dine at least once. Follow me on ig @sophiaeaaats for more recs! read more

Call me a romantic, but I loved the idea of eating in the oldest restaurant in Paris. There's something about visiting Europe in general just because things are so much older than they are here in the States. But a restaurant that has been around since the 1600s and was once patronized by Ben Franklin and Napoleon himself? Seems worth checking out. Overall, we had a very nice dinner. This is a very old-school place, but that's pretty much what they're selling. So as long as you're good with buying into the schtick, it's still totally worth the experience. So let's see. First, when you come into the restaurant, don't miss the case at the top of the stairs (we totally missed it when we walked in). This case contains a hat actually owned by Napoleon. I have to admit, it's pretty cool. For food, we got the French onion soup which was honestly not that good and the foie gras, which was pretty good. Then I got the beef tartare. It seems like the type of place to get tartare, and it was totally decent though nothing spectacular. My husband got the beef cheek dish just because it seemed like a really old, traditional type recipe. He was not disappointed. It was served in a lovely cast iron Staub pot, with the beef cheek and gravy covered in a delightful creamy pasta. The meat was really tender. It was pretty tasty. For dessert, we got creme brulee (skip, pretty mediocre) and the flambeed crepes, which were totally worth it. We stopped everything in the room because the crepes are flambeed tableside (there is SO much butter!). Our waitress did a good job, and everyone in the room stopped to watch. The crepes and the syrup tasted great too. So all in, we had a very nice, very traditional, very heavy French dinner in a restaurant that is super historic. I think it will be one of the more memorable meals we had. So would totally recommend, especially if you like history. read more

The first thing that alarmed me about this place was that no locals were dining there. It's a tourist trap, Stay Away. They market themselves as an historic place where Voltaire use to hangout. It's all good, but the food and specifically the service were horrible. For example when one of the my friends told the waiter that the steak she ordered doesn't taste good and was not even chewable, he took the plate and offered it to my daughter asking her if she would like to try and see if she wants to finish it. Really??? And when I ordered a bottle of Pessac-Leognan wine the waiter brought an open bottle of some random wine and started pouring without showing a label or offering to taste it first. Completely waisted precious time in Paris and money on this place. read more

What an amazing experience! Would have never gone there to dine on our own. It seemed like an older and expensive place from the outside. But when friends invited us to dine there, we were excited. It turned out to be one of the first restaurants in Paris. One of Napoleon's hats was there on display in a case. The food was incredible and the service impeccable. Definitely an exquisite experience in the heart of Paris. A bit pricey but worth every penny. Would definitely return to this restaurant if we visit Paris again. read more

The only good thing left of this once great establishment is the decor. Old world charm. Still beautiful. Food and service: they are resting on their laurels. It's full of foreigners, which proves it's a tourist trap. Locals don't come here. I ordered the coq au vin, which was recommended by a waiter (they kept changing so we never knew who our waiter was at any given moment). The chicken was completely dried out and the potatoes tasted like dirt. It was absolutely inedible. A waiter came and yelled at the people next to us for not telling the staff their food was dried out. He didn't even have the right table. My friend had the French onion soup, which was great, but her lobster ravioli wasn't good. We had the famous coffee tart for dessert. It was okay, but there are a million better places in Paris for pastries. The worst part was at the end. We were at a row of tables with a long bench on one side and chairs on the other. I was sitting on the bench side. The people next to us left so the waiter who mistakenly yelled at them was clearing the table. He took the table cloth and snapped it on the bench to clear the crumbs. He hit me in the face, which I know was an accident. It didn't hurt me, just scared me. But he refused to apologize or ask if I was ok. He was so arrogant (dare I say French!) that he kept saying I've been here for 14 years. I know what I'm doing. I didn't hurt you. You are fine. Over and over. He was mad at ME for HIS mistake. I just wanted to get out of there. I almost started crying because he was so mean. He kept going on and on, making me feel more and more uncomfortable.. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. If you must come here, have only coffee and dessert. There are so many other places. Terrible experience! read more

This restaurant had such amazing food! It was delicious and they got us in very quickly without a reservation. Please be aware, though, they made us pay the bill via a QR code that also charged us a 1.60€ fee to use the service. Then it also asked for a tip as well. The nice Italian couple sitting next to us got brought the credit card machine and did not get asked for a tip or a service fee. I have to assume it's because we're American and they're used to us tipping ‍ read more

The Procope remains faithful to the disinterest that it generates. It is with an unparalleled work force that everything is combined to make an establishment that is not very suitable an unpleasant memory without being disastrous. First of all, be crudely denied access to the floor under the pretext that all the tables would be taken, when we know the establishment and the rooms on the ground floor are half empty, it's quite annoying . But, well, I understand that in reality the upper rooms are empty and we do not want to divide the staff present. But there are different ways ... Classic and enticing card. Let's go for 12 snails as a starter. In fact, it is rather they who leave immediately in the kitchen because served barely lukewarm. They come back quickly. Youpi! The tuna tartare is beautifully presented and classic. But it is à la carte in "starter". We asked if it was possible to have it in "main course" format even with supplement. No problem. Except that we had it in format and price "starter". The art of not making more money ... What about the coq au vin "drunk of Juliénas" the House specialty? Meat is divided into two types. One dark and the other completely white. So either we have two types of poultry completely different or some pieces are marinated in wine and others are not. Anyway, it's weird. The sauce is completely liquid, absolutely not tied. Even if it tastes, it has almost the consistency of water. The worst is baby onion. It should perhaps be remembered to the Kitchen that they can be peeled very easily provided they are soaked in water before. Otherwise, it's a hassle and obviously a small, tired water boy has botched work. Honest strawberry cake. Nice presentation but is more of a pastry product than a restaurant, medium range strawberries. Pastry cream without relief. Rude Côte-du-Rhône, without much interest. End of service quite disastrous because team transition. The new waiter is arrogant, barks "What's wrong with the menu?" on the customers of the neighboring table because they did not understand something. Besides, he knows everything about everything. I wonder why I got sweaty doing a CAP(NVQ) for a year. I should have hired him as professor emeritus ... Chipped glass on the table. Just for laughs. And you can say "goodbye" to customers when they leave. Just to be nice. If the food is honest, the accumulated negligence is unacceptable at this level of pretension and addition. Obviously, they live a lot with tourists in "one shot" so they say "it does not matter. They paid, we will not see them again soon." Neither do I... Bill of 127,10 euros for 2. read more

Only reading a bit about the history of this place on Yelp after eating here. The ambiance and decor is the only highlight of this place to be honest. The food was super mediocre, we ordered butcher's cut, veal stew, duck terriane, and a shrimp tartare. The shrimp tartare is closer to a shrimp salad, the duck terriane was alright, steak was a bit tough/over cooked, and veal stew tasted like they poured gravy onto a piece of overcooked beef. Everything was edible, but nothing stood out and for the price that you pay here, well, let's just say just take your money else where. read more
