Brasserie Julien
Undoubtedly one of Paris’ most beautiful restaurants, Brasserie Julien is filled with fabulous Art Nouveau charm. From the sensuous curves of the doors to the grandly carved mirrors, the spectacular muted jewel colours of the painstakingly painted walls to the mahogany topped bar and the wonderfully detailed mosaic floor, Brasserie Julien is a study in typically Parisian design. Harking back to a time long gone, this restaurant takes diners on a journey to the city’s heyday – one of jazz music, Hemingway, Dali and Picasso. It seems only fitting then that Brasserie Julien’s kitchen produces elegant food typical of Parisian style and flavour but with a modern, creative twist of international inspiration.

La Coupole in Montparnasse is the grandest of grand Parisian brasseries. An Art Deco triumph on an extraordinary scale, its famously vast dining room was once regularly graced by the top tiers of the artistic Rive Gauche set like Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. People still come here from all over the world, to marvel at its splendour - all 1000 square metres and 33 pillars of it - and to people watch, a timeless La Coupole pastime. The terrace tables in particular are perfect for watching life go by over a coffee and a crêpe Suzette. If you want an absolutely classic Parisian grand brasserie experience without spending too much, try La Couple.

As one of the premier pioneers in specialty coffee in Paris, La Caféothèque de Paris and its dedicated team deserve a special mention on this site. It was in part thanks to the initiative of Gloria Montenegro that Parisian coffee drinkers were reminded that there was more to coffee than big brand beans and burnt bitterness.
Starting in 2001, Gloria would roam the city with a few fellow aficionados and provide samples of carefully-selected single estate brews to locals, in the hope of raising awareness of high quality beans, independent, local roasting and careful extraction. The idea was to appeal to the French appreciation of fine flavours and aromas, such as those characteristic of the exquisite wines and perfumes found in France. By tempting the refined French palate, Gloria would use these public tastings to win over locals and gain support for her atypical style of coffee, which to this day is exclusively single estate–no blends.
