Le Procope was the first restaurant in Paris to introduce coffee and democratize it by offering table service in a porcelain cup. Our coffee lounge is open Monday to Friday, from 3pm to 6pm, without reservation.

The oldest café in Paris

Since 1686, Le Procope has been a true symbol of French gastronomy and the Parisian art of living. Located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, this legendary restaurant has stood the test of time, welcoming renowned literary and artistic figures. From Voltaire to Rousseau, via Diderot, Le Procope is a meeting place for intellectuals, artists and lovers of traditional cuisine. Our walls retrace history and immerse you in the vibrant atmosphere of 18th-century Paris.

Tucked away in the courtyard of Cour Saint-André, our hidden terrace is the ideal setting for a charming outdoor meal.

Our chef revisits the classics of Parisian gastronomy with finesse. Each recipe has been carefully preserved and passed on to preserve the authentic flavors of our historic dishes such as Coq au vin and Joue de Bœuf braisée.
