[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Estimated per person** Time to allow **Allow 1½–2 hours** Place **Odéon & Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris** 01 / The experience ### Historic rooms and a traditional French table. $$ EUR estimates per person: $ up to €35 · $$ up to €80 · $$$ up to €150 · $$$$ above €150. Meal supplements and extra drinks increase the total. Traditional French Coq au vin and tête de veau give Le Procope's menu a clear traditional French direction. They belong naturally in the rooms on rue de l'Ancienne Comédie, where portraits, mirrors, wood panelling and formal table settings make the setting as important as the plate. This is a seated restaurant with a strong historical identity, rather than a small modern café trading only on a famous address. #### Historic rooms on the Left Bank The house dates its beginnings to 1686 and associates its rooms with figures including Voltaire, Diderot and Benjamin Franklin. Those connections place it within the intellectual history of the Left Bank. The succession of decorated spaces makes that history tangible: the experience is of dining through a historic house, with different rooms offering different scales of gathering. #### Traditional dishes and the coffee salon The kitchen follows that setting with established dishes. Coq au vin brings the slow-cooked, wine-based side of French cuisine; tête de veau represents another traditional preparation less commonly encountered on an international restaurant menu. Onion soup provides a more familiar introduction. The attraction is in the continuity between the type of cooking and the character of the rooms, with the current menu determining the exact choice. The weekday coffee salon provides a shorter way to spend time in the building, while lunch or dinner makes the restaurant the centre of the visit. The particular room can influence the occasion, especially for a larger party or a preference for a more secluded setting. Le Procope's lasting appeal comes from that combination of interior detail and a recognisable culinary repertoire. The historical associations give the meal context, but the rooms and the dishes are the things a visitor actually experiences. ![Le Procope, Paris]() Restaurants **Le Procope** Paris In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Le Procope: visit essentials 1. 01 Odéon & Saint-Germain-des-Prés 2. 02 Allow 1½–2 hours 3. 03 Daily 12:00–00:00; weekday coffee salon currently 15:30–17:30. 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit Traditional French cooking in historic dining rooms near Odéon. #### Menu & spending Estimated food spend: €40–75 per person.
