Fondé en 1686, par le sicilien Francesco Procopio Dei Coltelli, Le Procope est considéré comme le plus ancien Café-Glacier de la capitale. Implanté en plein cœur du quartier de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, l’établissement a en effet été le premier restaurant à Paris à introduire le café et à le démocratiser en proposant son service à table dans une tasse en porcelaine. Lieu mythique, très tôt prisé par les philosophes et les écrivains du siècle des Lumières (Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire…), l’histoire aime à raconter que les prémices de l’Encyclopédie de Diderot y ont ainsi vu le jour. Le décor de l’établissement conserve lui aussi le passage de ces illustres personnalités et des idées échangées. Le papier peint des années 1830, qui reprena…

We were really excited to try food at the oldest restaurant in Paris but booking was quite a challenge and the only available option we got was a lunch. Unfortunately, even with the booking one has to wait in a crowd for about 10-15 minutes. I guess the demand is very high so they are overbooked during peak hours but it ruins impression.
The interior is beautiful and if you value history you would enjoy it, although when it gets packed it might be more difficult to enjoy.
Since we were there during the lunch time, we took the lunch menu (26 euros for a starter + a main dish) which is a great value.
Our waiter asked how we would like to have our drinks, together with food or separately and then brought it separately anyways. In one of the appetizers (a duck terrain) they didn’t remove plastic package. The waiter just apologized for that but didn’t offer any feasible solution.
The food tasted alright. It’s not bad but it’s not great. Yes, the value is really good and if you want to eat in a restaurant with 300 years of history, it’s definitely worth it. However if you want to enjoy a delicious meal without crowds and buzz, maybe consider other options.
I didn’t find any reviews mentioning these downsides so I hope it might be useful for someone.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant.
The food was absolutely delicious especialy the Ravioli Duphine beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail and high-quality ingredients.
The staff made me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. Special thanks to Claire for her professionalism and kindness.
The atmosphere was warm and elegant, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return.

With the understanding it’s tough to get a bad meal in Paris, what Le Procope offers is exceptional. Even though we arrived early for our reservation, we were seated right away. The waitstaff are clearly held to a very high standard, and they meet it smoothly and efficiently. And the food? Beyond words. The soups were comfort food scaled up. The scallops were perfectly pan seared, and nestled in a bed of creamy, luscious, exactly al dente parmesan risotto. The floating island for dessert was airy and light, with a beautiful caramel drizzle and a bright crunch from pink pralines. If you have an evening to spend in Paris, dinner at Le Procope is an excellent way to spend your time!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Le Procope, and as two history lovers, this place felt almost unreal. Dining in the same space once frequented by Napoleon, Marat, Chopin, and Voltaire ( and visited by Benjamin Franklin!) is an experience in itself, equal parts dinner and time travel. Walking around the restaurant, admiring the historical artifacts, was genuinely thrilling.
We leaned into the spirit of the place and ordered what’s advertised as the revolutionaries’ favorite champagne: the 2016 Champagne Jacquart Blanc de Blancs – absolutely delicious and perfectly celebratory. For starters, we had the classic onion soup and a soft-boiled egg with mushrooms, both light, comforting, and beautifully done.
For mains, I chose the Revolutionaries’ Beef Tenderloin, while my husband went with the Angus Beef Steak. Both were flavorful and satisfying, served with excellent sides-au gratin potatoes for me and French fries for him. Dessert sealed the deal: artisan ice cream and pavlova, light and indulgent in the best way.
The service truly elevated the evening. A special shout-out to Schuman and Arnold, who made our anniversary feel genuinely special. From the warm welcome at the door (including coat service and a wonderful table by the window) to the friendly goodbye as we left, every staff member was gracious and attentive.
History, great food, wonderful service- Le Procope isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. An unforgettable way to celebrate a milestone.

The place is as beautiful as a palace, classy and elegant. The staff were not too warm or full of hospitality but definitely not cold. Even though it was very busy during the lunch hour, They were still friendly in a professional way.
The food is very delicate and refined, real French cuisine, the only problem is the limited option for non-meat eater on lunch menu.

As touristy as this place gets, myself included, most likely being the oldest continuous running restaurant in Paris since 1686 (that’s 340 years) is what draws most of us in.
Went in on New Year’s Day around 3pm even with reservation this place was a mad house right at the entrance.
Eventually after half an hour wait finally got a table.
With at least 2 floors and many rooms, the place was busy. Was that because of its history OR New Year’s Day or the combo, not sure?
Anyway with low expectation of the food and expecting higher prices I actually came out enjoying the food.
Braised beef cheek with parmesan ragatoni 28.50€ was very filling and delicious. The beef was fork tender and pasta al denté. Slightly pricey but not ridiculous given it’s popularity and history.
Service was as expected very French like though staff all seem to speak good enough English to deal with people like myself. They provided service prompt enough but not intrusive and pushing you out for the next dining group.
The interior decor you won’t be able to tell it’s 400+years old (not sure if it’s always at the same location) and I’m sure building in and out has been renovated over time.
Overall very satisfied with the experience, the food, decor etc.

We had an excellent dining experience at Le Procope and truly enjoyed every moment.
We started with foie gras, which was perfectly prepared — delicate, well-balanced, and very elegant. For the main course, we chose the Angus steak and the scallops with risotto. Both dishes were outstanding: the steak was juicy, cooked exactly as requested, with deep, rich flavor, while the scallops were perfectly seared and paired beautifully with a creamy, well-seasoned risotto.
For dessert, we had the famous Floating Island, which was light, refined, and a wonderful example of classic French pastry — the perfect way to end the meal.
Everything was excellent: the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The staff was professional, attentive, and welcoming, and the historic setting made the experience even more special.
Le Procope is a true Parisian institution that delivers both tradition and quality at the highest level.
Highly recommended — we will definitely return.

first solo fine dining experience – met expectations.
service was mostly excellent. the waiters were efficient and polite. the staff at the front desk started speaking English to me almost immediately which I fear is a Paris initiation ritual. to the lovely front desk staff I thank you for your professional attitudes and kindly recommend that you consider the tourist in front of you trying to speak French is simply having hearing in the crowded restaurant.
entrée – escargots – phenomenal. have been waiting years to try snails again. did not disappoint.
main – coq au vin historique – the chicken itself was dry but the sauce, assorted vegetables and added ingredients were beautifully seasoned
dessert – tiramisu – HEY NOW HEY NOWWW THIS IS WHAT DREAMSSSSS ARE MADE OF. I don’t know how I’m meant to go back to eating regular tiramisu now’s big yum
wine – rosé was yum !
atmosphere was so fascinating to me. the interior decor is stunning. Only restaurant I’ve ever been to where four languages are are being spoken at once. I don’t think I would recommend it for solo dining simply because of the seating arrangement (very close to other couples) and if I was to go again I would bring a friend.
price – expensive for a reason and it’s a good reason.
would recommend for 2+ people, not for solo.
merci l’équipe Procope !

Lovely historic place in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés, full of old world charm and literary history. The décor makes you feel like you have stepped back in time.
Classic French cuisine and professional service.
We arrived early and easily got a table without a reservation. A lovely Parisian experience.

Le Procope is a true Parisian gem. As the oldest café in Paris, it’s full of history, charm, and a beautiful atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was flavorful and perfectly crafted.
But what really made the night unforgettable was the exceptional service. The staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly informative. A special shout-out to Guido Maggiolo, Deputy Director, who went above and beyond to make our visit perfect. His kindness and professionalism truly elevated the experience.
I can’t recommend Le Procope enough. A must-visit in Paris!
