Founded in 1686, this is the oldest café in Paris and the world’s first literary cafe – where Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo and La Fontaine used to meet. At the entrance, on a glass case, is Napoleon Bonaparte’s hat. Legend has it that it was left as a collateral for the bill he could not pay.
On the table:
- Royal Procope which is a platter of oysters, clams, prawns, crab, langoustines, whelks and shrimps
- Calf’s Head Casserole, 1686-style
Food was great. Oysters were ultra fresh. Atmosphere was lovely. Definitely worth a visit!
