Le Procope is Paris's oldest café-restaurant (since 1686), housed in a historic space where Napoleon, Voltaire, and Benjamin Franklin once dined. The classic French dishes—braised beef cheek, Coq au Vin, escargot, sole meunière—are generally excellent, though execution can be uneven and some dishes may underwhelm relative to high expectations. Service quality varies, and it's genuinely touristy, so manage expectations accordingly.
