Brasserie-restaurant with terrace in Paris offering oysters, seafood and Indian-style meats.
You should come at least once in your life in this famous brasserie, opened in 1927 and renovated in 2018, to settle down and to listen to the ambient noise, the clatter of cutlery and to see the ballet of the waiters with their arms full of plates. It is a temple of Art déco, decorated with painted pillars and pilasters. The dining room has been classified in the Historical monuments list since 1988. The place has seen and still sees personalities of the world of the politics passing, show biz, arts and letters, etc. The address is open all day long. You have a sit inside or on terrace for a breakfast, a snack, a lunch, a brunch, an afternoon snack, an aperitif at the American bar or a dinner. The carte suits each moment and each hunger. A wide choice of oysters and seafood holds an important place. The nostalgic guests will find the dishes of Belle Epoque like an onion soup, croutons and grated Emmental cheese, the famous lamb curry in Indian way served since 1927 and a vanilla cream slice. In the basement, the dance hall is open on Fridays and Saturdays for dinner shows.

Members' reviews on LA COUPOLE
Je finis par être placés très vite. Je commande le plat du jour et le dessert du jour et un verre de vin Morgon.
Arrive le plat du jour une choucroute un peu de choux peu assaisonné sans baie de genièvre deux petites saucisse sans goût un morceau de porc sans gras.
Le dessert ne peut compenser la tristesse de ce jour. Je crois que je reviendrai dès que la cuisine sera redevenue la raison de cette mythique adresse qui je le crains à perdu sont inspiration de Brasserie parisienne aux plats traditionnels.
La Coupole having been going from 1927, we thought, would be no different. Although totally in love with art deco design the venue was lovely but, the offerings, even the 'Parisian' stuff was sadly disappointing. The 'frites' over cooked, saggy and tasteless. I can't really comment more except that a group of Parisians arrived next to us who clearly knew which dishes to avoid!
Venue lovely but noisy and pandering too much to tourists who may not have the experience to know any better. It didn't help that the staff had to throw out some ruffian who may have been drunk or high, who began harrassing clients.
Overly expensive too for the rubbish we got, the same price as the meal we'd had the night before over the road which, had been fantastic in all respects.
Sadly this place is trading solely on its name and not making a good job of it. Needs a total overhaul and new management.
Les plats classiques sont bons et bien servis, le personnel attentionné, l'ambiance charmante et on peut y manger toute la journée sans regarder les horaires.
Un peu trop guindé à mon goût
Un service accueillant et pro
Une très bonne cuisine
Toute la famille ne demande qu'à y retourner
