La Coupole

"La Coupole has been a blue - chip value since 1989. Diners enjoy the low - key, trendy atmosphere. The lobster and fish specialties are served by chef Bonnez’ brother, further proof of the establishment’s quality. Excellent wines." - Michelin Inspector

La Coupole - Review - 14th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"The towering ceilings and green-and-gold detailing set the stage for the ghosts of this Art Deco brasserie to come to life—regulars once included the likes of Josephine Baker and Édith Piaf. Insiders know to skip the à la carte offerings and instead focus their attention on the seafood platters and the bars flanking the dining room, where master shuckers pry open oysters at one end faster than bartenders can pop corks at the other. Pair your raw seafood on ice with a seafood-driven appetizer, like celery remoulade generously topped with crab and Granny Smith apple or leek vinaigrette elevated with creamy tonnato sauce, and a bottle of Champagne—after a few glasses, F. Scott Fitzgerald might come out of the woodwork. photo credit: Wenkang Shan photo credit: Wenkang Shan photo credit: Wenkang Shan photo credit: Wenkang Shan Pause Unmute" - Emily Monaco

The 29 Best Restaurants in Paris

"A living memorial to Paris' Art Deco legacy, La Coupole has seen more than its fair share of Parisian who's who. Patti Smith played guitar on the terrace. Henry Miller came for breakfast. Jane Birkin used to lunch here, as did Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse and James Joyce. The menu includes typical French brasserie food, with a particularly strong seafood emphasis. Order a side of buttery whelks or winkles with one of the seafood platters, which are as delicious as they are photogenic." - Lindsey Tramuta, Sara Lieberman
