I'm sad to see some of the negative comments about this lovely old restaurant. I eat in boudin Blancin Mayfair London often, and this is on the same level. The food was great, big portion and the service very efficient. Saying that I went for lunch and the other reviews are for Dinner, so maybe there is a difference. I... more

Old enough to have been enjoyed by Ben Franklin, Napoleon and Voltaire, it is up to date in furnishings, style, service and cuisine, and at a very reasonable price. Best yet, there is no snobbishness displayed towards tourists, who can enjoy this restaurant at their own or Parisian pace, quite comfortably, as they prefer. more

My husband and I have been lucky enough to spend a week in Paris for the past four springs. For the previous three, we have also been lucky enough to eat spectacular food, wonderfully served, at Le Procope. This past week (March 2009), we returned to Paris with our grown sons, promising them one of the best meals of their... more

Few places provide fantastic food and an interesting historical experience together. Go to a restaurant with great history, and you will usually find mediocre food. Le Procope stands alone in mind of combining history and the best food.

After 65 trips to Paris since 1969, and having found many more restaurants with the same or better ambiance/food, I probably would not go back to the Procope. Standing in line out the front door just to have dinner? with the thousands of better and as expensive restaurants? I don't think so. Oh, what write-ups in books can do to... more

I had dinner at Le Procope with a friend this past Valentine's Day. We decided on the fixed Menu Philosophe, which included tête de veau as a main course, which my friend wanted to order. After an incredibly long wait, our waiter finally came over and told us that the Menu Philosophe was not available that evening; however, they had... more

founded 1686 if I remember correctly. Not the best food. When I go there I usually have the Cocq a vin. It´s good. more

I did not have high hopes for Le Procope after reading multiple reviews in the same vein - "Poor food, but the kind of place you have to eat at once just to say you did." (because of its history) Well I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find the food was EXCELLENT. I ordered the Joue de... more

The place is really very nice and you can understand the history of the venue. Unfortunately the food is bellow average and the price quality ratio very low. more
