A must-visit brasserie in Paris
Opened at the same time as the Opéra Garnier, the Grand Café Capucines is a true Parisian institution. For over 150 years, people from all over Paris have been flocking here to enjoy delicious dishes at any time of the day… or night. What sets this restaurant apart is its fast, high-quality service, available nonstop from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m.! A real bonus for all food lovers.
With its Belle Époque ambiance—modernized in 2019—the atmosphere here is warm and intimate. You’ll find large tables for dining with friends or tables for two tucked away in alcoves, perfect for confiding in one another and getting closer…
As for the menu, they serve the great classics of French brasserie cuisine, such as the must-try seafood platters—to share (or not)—as well as escargots as an appetizer and a beautiful entrecôte steak served with house-made fries… In short, pure bliss with every bite, and something for everyone.
A true institution, where the world’s greats—such as the Lumière brothers—once gathered, and which still makes the heart of Paris beat today.
