MatteoNovember 29, 2015One of the Best place for a romantic dinner in Paris. Very good onion soup and duck breast. Check also the toilette and the local. Very Historical place for a super restaurant. Super details attention
Anton SkrypnykApril 16, 2017Voltaire was here preparing the revolution ) so you neeed go to here. The place is expensive,but for 2 glass of wine ( 10 euros) you can see 18 century restaurant 😂
Miroslav VitanovMarch 23, 2018Very authentic interior, the food was more than delicious and the staff is friendly. It’s not as expensive as it is said, at least by the Parisian standard.
Hernan HuwylerJanuary 1, 2016Oldest historic restaurant in Paris which intact decor evokes the French Revolution and famous visitors from Napoleon to Franklin. Good local food and polite service.
Jeffrey GlueckApril 21, 2019Oldest Cafe in Paris. Benjamin Franklin and Robespierre ate here among others. In this historic alley lived Danton and Marat leaders of the French Revolution.
Gourmet LifeDecember 9, 2019A must try in Paris! Very delicious food, incredible polite staff and great atmosphere 🇫🇷 onion soup, duck ponfrit, risotto and chocolate cake were awesome 👏🏻
Andrii BrudnyiMay 26, 2019Delicious food and great experience. Try onion soup and beef cheek. 5* friendly staff. Gorgeous atmosphere with relics from the times of French Revolution and Napoléon.- Hernan HuwylerJanuary 1, 2016Oldest historic restaurant in Paris which intact decor evokes the French Revolution and famous visitors from Napoleon to Franklin. Good local food and polite service. .
Q RobersonOctober 3, 2015Good food, but not amazing. The real beauty is in the ambiance & history. The service standards also make the dining experience enjoyable. Go here just to say you did, but don't expect to be wowed.
Quentin CocozzaAugust 20, 2014Cuisine raffinée, cadre époustouflant ! Service très agréable ! Awesome French cooking, ambiance amazing full of history ! Waiters very kind.
Maweł PazurkiewiczFebruary 21, 2016I've read many negative reviews of this place, but I have no idea why. The food was very good (french soup amazing!), service ok. Place is very authentic.
Lana ING Lana_styling_eleganceApril 7, 2019The place for a special occasion :) good food and service! The oldest cafe in Paris and the first place where they started to serve coffee on the terrace
Shawn CallahanApril 16, 2015Napoleon's hat is in the foyer on the back entrance. You can take a look without having to enter the restaurant. They say Benjamin Franklin penned a good portion of the U.S. Constitution here.
Nikos KrodirasSeptember 4, 2022Historical place with a really unique decor. Service was friendly and polite. Food was not as good as expected. Coq au vin was okay, the sauce was pretty watery and you couldn't really feel the wine.
Higino SteckDecember 8, 2023Historical place. I recommend historical plates Tenderloin with foie gras and Calf’s head in a casserole!
Jessie LeeOctober 12, 2015It's the oldest restaurant in town founded in 1686z the coq and the duck breast is amazing, seafoods are very fresh
Biliana RoussevaOctober 1, 2015My number one must-see upon my next visit to Paris. The oldest cafè in the world. Sorry, Florian - you come second.
Julia BevzenkoApril 3, 2013Nice place with an historic touch on the left bank. Typical for Paris: one should not expect miracles etiher from service or from cuisine.
Pata PatakMay 1, 2017Food is good one of the oldest restoraunts you have fealing that you eat in bookstore
Selene LiszkaApril 19, 2012People complain that only Americans go there, but the food is good and it's loaded with history. A bit fancy, perhaps best for dinner.
Josep M. GallartJanuary 1, 2016A great place to taste French cuisine, fine wines and oysters. Good atmosphere and very good service.
Elin ReevesSeptember 24, 2018Beautiful location and dining room. Food was not so good (we were part of a group of over 50) but I hear it is nice for smaller groups/couples
Betul SadikogluMarch 10, 2019Braised beef cheek was very delicious. A very good service and nice atmosphere..
Helen ZhangJuly 1, 2017Solid food for a decent price though nothing spectacular (French onion soup, duck breast)
Emre ErsahinAugust 16, 2016While seafood platters are overrated their meat is very underrated! Try the meat dishes.
Kral2October 27, 2011Try the Empty Plat - To delicious To have time To shoot it. Just go and Enjoy thé Nice place and wonderfull meals- Başak PaşalıJanuary 20, 2019Onion soup was very good but not the steak. But the setting, decor and atmosphere is amazing.
GigiFebruary 19, 2023Bad restaurant. I waited a full hour for my food and it was not served to me. I asked several times, especially the waiter. He was very rude and did not give any attention. Then I left the restaurant
John AthaydeAugust 13, 2012Patient waiters worked with our poor French vocab. Great food. Jefferson and Franklin came here in the 18th c.
Volkan ErsoyNovember 12, 2012The waiter approves your selection or cringes based on list price. Never mind him. Food and atmosphere is excellent.
Holly ShoalsFebruary 6, 2014Oldest cafe in the world & regular hangout of Napoleon & Voltaire. Super interesting place, but walk in, look around, stay for a coffee/wine, & walk out. Overpriced and mediocre at best.
Melanie StevensOctober 3, 2011The service was lovely. They dealt well with my bad French. Tried the calf head. Tres magnifique!
Alessio BaùDecember 30, 2010Very nice food. The location is beautiful! Wines are not superb, sorry. Still, a must see in Paris.
Greg Wong 🎯November 14, 2012http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_Procope Voltaire’s coffee stop – oldest in Paris- Volkan ErsoyNovember 12, 2012Don't mind the attitude of the waiters and if you have to wait order a glass of wine to enjoy the decor of the waiting room. The food is great and not so expensive for what this restaurant is.
