Located at the tip of Ile Saint-Louis, opposite Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, the Brasserie de l'Isle Saint-Louis welcomes you in its warm decor typical of Parisian brasseries of the 1930s.
A family establishment that has seen three generations at the helm since the 1950s, the Brasserie de l'Isle Saint-Louis is still run by the same family today. She strives to perpetuate the tradition and maintain with passion and regularity the spirit of this "old lady" who has seen several generations of political, artistic or literary personalities settle at her table, without ever succumbing to the sirens of the fashion. It retains its clientele of eternal regulars; some even remember the beginnings of the Guépratte spouses in 1953 (!) and their descendants ensure that ancestral traditions are respected.

This Parisian institute is one of the most renowned cafes in Paris and is about as classic as it gets, with its crisp white marquee and overflow of customers relaxing at chic tables outside. Although the hot chocolate and setting are more than enough reason to make a visit, it’s Cafe de Flore’s illustrious history that attracts thousands of tourists every year and makes it one of the best cafes in Paris.
Located on the Seine’s picturesque left bank between the fifth and sixth arrondissement, this art deco destination has been featured by the likes of Vogue Australia, Goop, Time Out Paris and more. Unsurprisingly, it’s topped many Parisian guidebooks as a must-visit place especially for those who love literature, fashion and art. (In fact, the cafe is lined with works of art by the master artists who used to frequent Cafe de Flore.) More on Café de Flore

Les Deux Magots is a famous café and restaurant situated at 6, Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris's 6th arrondissement, France. It once had a reputation as the rendezvous of the literary and intellectual elite of the city. It is now a popular tourist destination. Its historical reputation is derived from the patronage of Surrealist artists, intellectuals to the likes of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as young writers, such as Ernest Hemingway. Other patrons included Albert Camus, Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, Bertolt Brecht, Julia Child and the American writers James Baldwin, Chester Himes and Richard Wright.
The Deux Magots literary prize (Prix des Deux Magots) has been awarded to a French novel every year since 1933 at Les Deux Magots.
"Magot" literally means "stocky figurine from the Far East". The name originally belonged to a fabric and novelty shop at nearby 23 Rue de Buci. The shop sold silk lingerie and took its name from a popular play of the moment (19th century) entitled Les Deux Magots de la Chine. Its two statues represent Chinese "mandarins", or "magicians", who gaze serenely over the room. In 1873, the business moved to its current location in the Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In 1884, the business changed to a café and liquoriste, keeping the name.
Auguste Boulay bought the business in 1914, when it was on the brink of bankruptcy, for 400,000 francs. The present manager, Catherine Mathivat, is his great-great-granddaughter. More on Les Deux Magots

Café Saint Louis is located in the Mile End at the corner of Villeneuve and De Bullion streets. Opened in June 2019, it offers a convivial space where you can enjoy quality coffee and delicious pastries.
The name “Louis” has a place of honour at the corner of Villeneuve and De Bullion. Firstly, because the Mile End used to be known as Saint-Louis, but also because the name “Louis” is common in each of the owners’ families. Café Saint Louis
