A restaurant on Rue de l'Ancienne Comedie in the sixth arrondissement, trading since 1686 and generally recognised as the oldest cafe in Paris.
For three hundred and forty years of continuous trading in the same rooms, and because the set menu makes that a lunch rather than an occasion.

Anyone interested in the Enlightenment, and anyone who wants a historic Paris meal without a hundred-euro bill.

Le Procope serves a two-course menu at 26.50 euros and three courses at 33.50 euros, available Monday to Saturday from midday to 6pm. It opened in 1686, which makes it the oldest cafe in Paris still trading, and the list of people who used it reads like a syllabus: Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Benjamin Franklin, Danton, Robespierre. Napoleon's hat is in a case by the stairs. The rooms are red, mirrored and hung with…
