At the heart of the theatre district, just opposite the imposing Palais Brongniart, comedians and all sorts of connoisseurs have found a home here since 1876. Founded by Gustave Gallopin, the restaurant has become a true landmark for hearty French cuisine enthusiasts. The sumptuous wainscoted and coppery setting – as well as the bright sun lounge – is worth the trip alone. A key venue, steeped in history!
