Service was a bit slow despite it not being too busy.
The food was good nothing to go crazy about EXCEPT the crème burlee was absolutely amazing. The best crème burlee I've had in my life. Ambience was great, you can tell it's a common place where people go to celebrate a special day.

Be the first to ReplyHistoric Montparnasse brasserie - Hemingway used to hit up
Historic Montparnasse brasserie - Hemingway used to hit up friends for drinks here in the 1920's - and still an elegant restaurant in the 2020's. La Coupole is a large brasserie with a beautiful art deco interior. Ideally you should start with an aperitif at the bar before transferring to a table for dinner. Very relaxing (and very French) approach to dining out. If you order oysters as the appetizer be sure to ask your waiter for suggestions. We had three varieties and agreed that these were the most delicious oysters we've ever had. We stayed with seafood for the main. The coquilles st. jacques dish - brilliant. The scallops were tender, the sauce was something out of Escoffier, the presentation beautiful. I had the lobster ravioli but give this one a pass. You want unctuous at La Coupole and the scallop dish provides this. We also had dessert, ile flottante and profiteroles. It was more dessert than we normally eat but "somehow" we managed to polish off both. One important point: Make a reservation on-line. This is a wildly popular restaurant for Parisians (not Tick-Tockers) so a reservation is essential.

Honestly, except for the onion soup (which was exceptional), everything was good, not great; but the experience, the ambiance, in a great space, was a joy. As to the food, we had the following: chilled shrimp (good), escargot (not enough garlic-butter), onion soup (excellent), fries (good), filet mignon (fine), steak tartare (too much sweet relish), lobster ravioli (not stuffed ravioli but slicks of pasta with lobster on top), sole meunière (fine), profiteroles (good), and crème brûlée (good). I wish I tried the curry. 3.5 rounded up.
Be the first to ReplyHaving had a great experience a few weeks prior, I decided
Having had a great experience a few weeks prior, I decided to take my fiancé for a wonderful dinner. We had an experience almost the opposite of what I experienced on my first visit. The waiter seemed bothered every time we asked for something that should have been simple. We had to ask for bread, then we had to ask for butter. He brought no plates for the bread and had to ask and we were missing a fork on the table which I borrowed from another table so as not to bother the server yet again. Each time the waiter would be in the area but not even look up at us. We ordered our meal, which took a very long time to receive. Upon arriving, it was not at all what we ordered. Rather than waiting another 30-40 minutes to cook our actual meal, we ate what was served. It was good, but not what we ordered. The bill arrived and no offer to compensate the disaster of the night. I had to call the maiître d' over. He only offered comping the appetizer, while nice, I don't think was enough. While the food is good, the service leaves something to be desired and for such a restaurant, they need to spend a little more time training some of their wait staff.
Be the first to ReplyWe had dinner at the restaurant.
The food was ok, wasn't spectacular or anything like that, which was disappointing, I expected more. The service, it's a different thing. The hostesses was rude and dismissive, not properly or professionally dressed. The waiter was very unpleasant, took a while to place an order, then had to wait and wait.... we were not rushing, but it was noticeable. He would always forget what we asked for and walking around with his hands behind his back, it was a bit unusual. My husband ordered Lamb curry, he did like and the waiter at that department was very pleasant. After all, I don't think we are going to be back. There are so many great places to explore, and that is not our favorite.

Dinner at the famous La Coupole! La Coupole, founded in 1927, is one of Paris' most famous brasseries known for its artistic history A scene from Emily in Paris was also shot here! I absolutely loved the French onion soup here - probably the best I've ever had! For mains, although they have many meat options, their seafood options are the way to go. The sole fish was sooo smooth and fresh, a must try. The seafood sauerkraut was good as well, I like how they give you a bit of everything and an entire mountain of sauerkraut French Onion Soup (9€) Bone Marrow (13.5€) Escargots (19€) Sole a la Plancha (46€) Seafood Sauerkraut (27.5€) Irish Cut Beef Steak (33€) La Coupole's Sauerkraut (27.5€)

We spent out last night in Paris at this lovely ,large, French restaurant. We arrived around 10pm without a reservation and we were seated within 20 minutes,outside ( which we requested). They seem to be known for their raw bar- but we had the peppercorn tenderloin with fries and it was delicious! We started with the burrata salad,and it was fine,not great ,but perfectly fine. The service was outstanding! The best we had in all of Paris. Friendly,professional and efficient! The crepe for dessert is a must!! Enjoy!

Maybe you're a jaded New Yorker who's spent more time than you'd care to admit in Balthazar, Odeon, Pastis, Orsay, and even good old Artisanal. Yeah, you can recite the standard brasserie menu in English or French, and you know your Art Nouveau from your Art Deco. Well forget all of that. It's still better in France. And La Coupole is exhibit A. When you see the room, you'll realize just how pale those Stateside imitations truly are. And then you only have to let the professionals do their jobs. Almost everything was exceptional, which is not to say at a three-star Michelin level, but rather exactly comme il faut for a buzzing brasserie. Bread, olives, eggs mayonnaise, oysters, caesar salad, veal confit, fries, choucroute garnie, then apple crumble to finish... I'll be popping those little juniper berries from the classic choucroute between my molars in my sleep. Our only quibble was that the sauce for the veal was a little salty. Everything else was a bullseye. Make a reservation - really, it will help - and away you go. The service was warm and virtually telepathic from the beginning, with our waiter anticipating all our requirements while cracking jokes that even the kids could understand. He gave us a couple of the day's menus to take home - illustrated and signed! - but we would have remembered this fabulous meal just fine without them.
Be the first to ReplyA famous seafood French restaurant that is almost 100 years
A famous seafood French restaurant that is almost 100 years old. They are known for their seafood tower which I think anything raw, this restaurant does well. However, I thought their hot options were kind of weak. Thus, would recommend sticking to ordering their raw options like the seafood towers, tartare, or other things. It's crowded and busy- worth going to but I'm not sure if the food is as worth the hype. I was a little disappointed that when we found a staple in our crab leg the facility kind of waived it off and didn't do much to compensate for the find, but no harm done. We ordered the Royal tower (about 86 pounds). This was worth ordering. Presents well and each sea food was clean, sweet, and fresh. Some of the freshest seafood you can find around. It had sweet oysters, giant prawn, small cockles, clams, crabs, lobsters, and tiny shrimp that no one really knew how to eat but we somehow did. We found a staple in a lobster/crab part. Was not too thrilled that after addressing this with the waiter they kind of just waived it off. this could have been potentially fatal had someone swallowed this. The sea bass tartare was worth getting- a fresh and clean dish. We had some hot dishes too and this is where it kind of fell apart. Whole lobster ravioli- there was like no ravioli. A half lobster tail thrown on top of overcooked flat pasta sheets with maybe a hint of some kind of stuffing. this dish just looked like it was made as an after thought or rather forgotten on the hot top and then it became mushy. Ordered a dish of hot veggies just to get some greens in- it was a forgettable dish. to where I can't find it on the menu and don't remember what it was. The place is very busy- we had to wave down our waiter multiple times. If you left halfway without paying or left when seated but then couldn't get their attending to start with water, they probably wouldn't even realize it. You pay online which no one made clear to us except for the little placards on your table hidden behind your plates saying this so we wasted half an hour waiting to flag waiter down/ask how to pay. Overall, an ok place. Had high hopes but this was considered average to me. Wouldn't make this a top priority to go in the future.
Be the first to ReplyThis restaurant has a good environment and service is good.
My highlight of the platter is the crab. I don't mind order a whole crab instead of the half.

We had dinner for my husband's birthday here and everything was excellent! The steaks were cooked to perfection and the seafood platter was fresh and delicious! The service was also great! We tried to speak in French as much as possible but they were very accommodating. Definitely recommend.
Be the first to ReplyMy wife and I go at least once per visit and while I have
My wife and I go at least once per visit and while I have no idea how it compares to all of the other famous and antique grand brasseries, it has always been excellent when we have visited. First things first it's a huge space with historically important and cool decorations which means it's nice to just absorb the surroundings as you eat -- I absolutely love the atmosphere. Second the service will be sparse and aloof though mostly attentive and almost always pleasant enough -- do keep in mind that it's not fine dining so you won't get pampered. I will also say that during one occasion a member of our party felt accosted for asking for a substitution in a dish which was totally that person's fault for asking for the dish to be modified. If you're the kind of person who doesn't take kindly to someone not letting you tell them how to change their food then go elsewhere or stay home and cook for yourself. As to the food:1. Oysters are always fresh and tasty -- not as vast of a selection as some places nor as personally curated as say L'Avant Comptoir de Mer the Grand Cru platter never disappoints;2. Onion soup -- always good, always scalding hot;3. Frisée salad -- chock full of lardons though the egg is more hard boiled than poached so not my favorite;4. Beef tartare -- excellent and a massive portion, though the fries accompanying it were a bit meh (oddly enough the fries another visit with the moules frites were fantastic);5. Mussels steamed in Chablis -- always delicious;6. Monkfish casserole -- very hearty though not a huge portion for the price;7. Steak frites -- came out very rare (actually pretty bloody) but ok by me;8. Chestnut veloute -- a bit muted but decent And 9. Floating island -- one of the biggest versions of the dish I've tried and it was great

Thought it would be touristy but the classics were done right. Lovely steak frite, skate and profiteroles were perfect. *would be nice if rolls were warm.

Great service and great food! We had the Coupole seafood platter, tuna tartare, and Riesling mussels with fries. The seafood platter was fresh and fulfilling. The service was amazing!
Be the first to ReplyPerfect spot for a relaxing lunch.
Prix fixe menu and good wine prices make it reasonably inexpensive and the ambiance, service and food quality are excellent. We had great fun and I highly recommend it if you're in the area. We made a reservation and it was full so consider that as well.

I go to La Coupole for the atmosphere, always busy, the cool Art Deco décor and the fresh sea food.As often in Paris' Brasseries, it can be a little difficult to get a waiter's attention, they are running around taking care of many tables, so you just have to be patient.I am from la Bretagne and picky about seafood (to be honest about anything that goes in my plate), and La Coupole doesn't disappoint. I also like the fact that you can order exactly what you want, you don't have to pick one of their selected seafood platter. Since I was having dinner by myself, a half crab was perfect, a few oysters, bulots, shrimps, everything was extremely fresh and came with delicious bread and a generous amount of good quality salted butter.There is also a bar, but really you want to soak up the atmosphere at a table and take your time!
Be the first to ReplyI had higher hopes and maybe that's where I went wrong.
First, I will start with the staff. They were very kind, provided good service, and tried to speak English to help us with our order. I'm grateful for that as I never expect others to speak my language. If you want oysters/raw bar type meal, this is your place! I don't like oysters, so I skipped this. I ordered the chicken fricasse and I'll say it was okay. The gravy sauce on it was yummy, and the accompanying carrots were cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the lobster ravioli and said it was one of the best things he has ever eaten. So again, go the seafood route if you're dining here. We also ordered the the avocado-prawn starter and I enjoyed it. It has grapefruit or maybe blood orange slices on it, plus lettuce, prawns, and avocado. The sauce was similar to a "thousand island" sauce (for the Americans reading this) and complimented everything nicely. The decor is Art Deco, which I love! We chose to sit outside and I was immediately kicking myself upon remembering that the interior was Art Deco. A great and lively atmosphere indoors or out.

This place came highly recommended and it was very disappointing. Our server did not speak English (which is fine), but didn't make any attempts to try to accommodate us to figure out what we wanted to order. Finding another server or having someone help translate what we are asking/saying, would've made the experience better. I had the French onion soup for my starter, which was delicious. For my main course, I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was not good at all. It lacked flavor majorly. I wish I hadn't ordered that. For dessert, I recommend Bourbon Vanilla Crème Brûlée and Crêpes Suzette Flambéed with Grand Marnier. The cocktails are delicious, I recommend Kiki.Overall, not a great experience. If I ever do come back, I will hopefully try something with flavor.

Six people in our group contracted Covid on the day we met at La Coupole. It may have been a coincidence, but what an extraordinary one!

during my many solo meals in paris, this was one of my favorite dinners! i had a lovely quiet corner to myself in the outdoor area. Ordered an old fashioned to start and sipped it while people watching. The server was very nice, maybe b/c I looked lonely or something lolFor food I ordered something asparagus and moule frites! My main goal that night was to cross moule frites off my list since I was running out of the must have French dishes to try. Now to explain my "something asparagus", so lately I've been really digging grilled asparagus and with my spectacular high school level French, I thought I knew everything on the menu. Soooo without asking, I ordered it and a bowl was served shortly with 2 halves of short stalk of asparagus laid out in the middle of a wide bowl. I stared at it and asked myself "o no... 8€ for not even a whole stick of asparagus?!?!" THEN the server came and poured some matcha latte like liquid into it. OHHHHH light bulb moment - it was cream of asparagus SOUP! Lol long story short, it was delicious but I would not order again for 8€ lol Moule frites - (I'll keep this short) it was delicious n you should try it lol accompanies in Chablis sauce n it was def one of the most memorable moule frites I've had. It sounds like such a basic and simple dish, but o man that meal was glorious! After a long day, I couldn't have asked for a more satisfying meal! The restaurant was beautiful and classic! Tho the menu did seem overpriced and perhaps caters to tourists more but hey, as long as there's a good time, I'm always down!
Be the first to ReplyHorrible service.
Inattentive waiters. We spoke French as native so that was not the issue. However, waiters were rude, brought the wrong entree, upon asking to correct the mistake there was no apology but instead a snarky comment "you will have to wait now". The two entrecotes we ordered were not eatable due to horrendous quality of meat, again rude comments and even the manager was rude and condescending. The only good thing about this "glamorous diner" was profiteroles.
Be the first to ReplyThe restuarnt is beautiful and huge.
Our apps and drinks were great....especially the escargot. However, the entrees were a different story. My friend's duck was tough as old leather, the fish was dry and my lobster dish (the most expensive entree) was served ice cold. When I complained the waiter looked at me like was crazy then brought back the same cold lobster on a hot plate. This was our last meal in Paris and a huge disappointment. I submitted a review directly to the restaurant and never heard a thing back. Order carefully.

MICE!!!! The food was delicious, although the restaurant was much too brightly lit. At one point they dimmed the lights for a birthday and the place was transformed to elegance, but when they turned them up again, there was a collective sigh of disappointment. And mouse traps visible under the tables. As we were waiting for our bill, we saw a small mouse run under our feet - and then noticed a mouse poison trap under the table next to us. The health department needs to get in there.
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful site but the table was wobbly, which we mentioned
Beautiful site but the table was wobbly, which we mentioned to our waiter who did nothing about it. He forgot the bloody mary for my husband. Then the oil for the fries was rancid. I ate better from any fast food joint. Finally, after we requested a little more time from our waiter to decide what desert to order, the maitre d' came over and slammed our table - literally... and asked quite rudely: a little desert? Right after we had told our waiter that we needed more time. I was so startled that we left. I really felt unwelcome. The couples next to us did not seem to have any issues. Took their time and were not pressured. I use to come to La Coupole with my dad all the time. But this is it for me! My advice, just take a walk to check out the pillars with the art, but don't waste your money on okay food and a strange maitre d'. The 2 stars are for the decors.
