I really enjoy brasseries, the life and the bustle, although only authentic ones in France. La Coupole is one of my favorites in Paris (now belongs to the Flo Group) where I have spent a good deal of time over the years dining late into the evening.

Oysters, plateau de fruits de mer, lamb curry with quince, and sole meunière are some of the all time favorite dishes here.

Open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. the atmosphere is relaxed and very Parisian. Guests can have a simple sandwich on the terrace or a grand repas with white tablecloth in the restaurant, the three styles (restaurant, brasserie, and terrace cafe) have existed here side by side since 1927.
La Coupole has become the quintessential brasserie in Montparnasse frequented in times past by authors Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Henry Miller.
