Procope Studio Reviews

Professional but insufficient staff, forced to run in all directions.
MUCH TOO WAITING !!!!!!! (A large table would be responsible)
Decent starters and desserts but the beef cheek ...... very poorly cooked.
VERY EXPENSIVE !

Don't go to this restourant if you care about your health and your money.
food quality 2/10
tatiki of tuna 14,5 euro = 6 pieces, 2 cm of diameter, thickness 0,5 cm, taste like plastic.
tartare a coteau (cutten with knife) = smashed meat that you buy in the market, tasted like wet old soap.
french fries = flavour of old oil, taste like freezer, consistency of old shoes, no crunchy AT ALL, all wet grounding this old oil. revolting.
Arrived home i went directly to the toilet (hard pain in the stomach all night long).
to start: they propose you this 12,5 cl bio cocktail, 11 euro, no taste or alcohol.
The quantity of food was VERY SMALL, the plates they served me were nearly empty but in this case i was lucky because i didn't like anything of what i have eaten.
This is a restaurant for people that want to pay the typical OLD french decorations and waste money for that.
Not talking about the waiters, roughly suggesting the dishes they wanted, and that in 5 minutes came consecutive in 3 asking if everything was allright, denying us, paying clients, to having basic conversations.
AH YES: IN THE MENU YOU PAY 30 EURO BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE ONLY 3 DIFFERENT (VERY BASIC) DISHES.
I live in Paris and i will never go back there.
60 euro each person for eating very bad (starter and main dish) (wine excluded).

Outstanding!!! Have the fillet beef steak with french fried or the Bass fish.. both were superb!! This is a gem!!!!!

Very nice food and great ambience. The cost is a bit to higher end but taste is really good.

In my opinion the pleasure of going to a restaurant is in three points:
- the charm of the place
- the quality of the meal
- the level of service

As much as the first two points are satisfactory, the atmosphere is warm, the decor "yesteryear" is successful and has its effect.
The traditional French cuisine is of good quality and the dishes well presented.

The quality of service however leaves something to be desired: waiter in a hurry and not really friendly ... at the end of the meal, we asked for a small bag to take one of our bottles of wine open but not opened, the waiter gave us a uneasy little grin, as if it was not something that could be done.

I also find it unfortunate that in such a touristy district, the waiters do not have some knowledge of English ...
Pity !

The service was welcoming and always warm smile. However we waited more than 10 minutes to order, then 30 minutes to wait for the coffee, finally 15 minutes for the addition, and only 15 minutes to taste.
In short ... a coffee to experience but not to enjoy life.

The drinks were nice and the staff was pleasant. Unfortunately, the Coq au Vin was dry and the Cod had no flavor. So strange...

We were there for the history of the place. Inside it is furnished in very beautiful antique style. However, the tables are too close ... no privacy. Food not as great as it could have seemed. High prices for the quality of the dishes.

Excellent service. The restaurant is very beautiful

Historic restaurant with nice and antique interior. It seems better to enjoy the atmosphere than the taste. But the table is shut up ...

The place is really beautiful and charming. But the waitresses are not really welcoming...

Excellent welcome. We ate very well in this mythical place.

if you can speak french fluently and you are not colored races, there might not be a problem. The old waiter, seems a manager, is a terrible french.
if he could not speak English, he should not pretend to understand and took foriegner s order. if he had some mistakes, he shoud say pardon! not tell me Je ne sais pas, Je ne sais pas. with snobbish face. He did wrong, but was rude and made me pay all his faults. He spoiled a lot.

If the kitchen was up to the frame I will put 10/5 stars, but it is far from the case, I feel that cooking has become a means of absolute profit at the expense of quality and excellence ... to be urgently improved

Great restaurant with outstanding staff and the meal was a marvel

Very welcoming to tourists. Excellent choices of bagged tea. Old-world, aristocratic ambiance. Live lobster. English and French menus.

Historic Parisian local meeting place of great artists to whom many of the seats are dedicated.

A scandal, a sense of service close to nothingness, unskilled waiters, flee this tourist trap ...

restaurant in the city center in Odeon. Traditional French cuisine of quality, the great classics (Rooster au vin, calf's head, snail, oysters etc), very friendly staff, quality service, a must-see place in Paris, historic period decor, experience to live

Very good! Outside the historical place (Napoleon dined there !!!), the food is excellent and the service is very attentive.

Cozy restaurant.
The seafood dish is not worth it, they come on top of the ice and without seasoning. Very expensive

History remains, but the present is something else.

I just love it. A "plunge" in history. Romantic and romantic. I have always loved and I will always love. All is well . For the eye, for the belly, for love, for good humor, FOR PARIS. For me. Smile.

This historic place was totally worth its fame. With such high quality of the service and the food it's no wonder that it's been continually in business ever since the 17th century. The food was unique, delicious, imaginative and not even the most expensive one we've had in Paris. If you get the chance, don't miss the opportunity to visit this great restaurant. You won't regret it.

Very expensive for some dishes, but very good restaurant! The must at all Paris!

It is the oldest restaurant in Paris. In Le Procope you can taste multiple traditional dishes, such as the rooster in wine, the "escargots" or the onion soup, but above all, it is like taking a little piece of history.

In addition, for the satisfaction of not very buoyant pockets, it has menus that allow you to enjoy without leaving your salary.

More than just an incredible restaurant with delicious food and nice staff, Le Procope is also a piece of history, and it shows off its majestic legacy through the stunning and detailed interior and amazing service. Eating here is more than just having a meal, it's the experience of being part of the history of a place that has welcomed some of the most important men of France. It definitely is an experience to never be forgotten.

Feels historic, intimate and exclusive, but the food is mediocre.

When approaching the Procope via the narrow alleyway back entrance you feel like you ve found a hidden gem of Saint Germain. Pulling back the heavy purple curtains and entering into the warm gloom of the velvet vestibule piques the intrigue. Peeling the second set of curtains back you re greeted into a gold light, paintings of lords and ladies, shelves of antique books and mirrors. The waiting staff are smartly dressed in white shirts and waistcoats and direct you with beaming smiles to the cloakroom at the front. At this point you realise, from the grand main entrance along a wide boulevard, that it is not quite as hidden as you thought. But never mind, the ambiance is full of pomp.



I went for the snails, which as always, were a mere envoy for the garlic, but admittedly these had a superior texture to the usual standard. Unfortunately, the bread was not good enough to fully enjoy the mop up job; cold and a bit tough quel dommage. My companion s foie gras was rather cher at 22 euros for nothing exceptional, but perfectly smooth and serviceable.

For main, the braised beef cheeks on parmesan macaroni had great potential but ended in disappointment. The beef was perfectly tender - having been cooked since 8 in the morning according to the waitress but barely any flavour! I reached for the pepper, but it couldn t save the day. The less said about the macaroni the better. The pasta was of supermarket quality and overbaked in the cheese rendering the combination tough and dry. Companion s fish with risotto on the side was unremarkable, but what dingbat orders risotto in a French restaurant ?

The wine, a Chinon, was a superb, woody variety with plenty of character and the only thing that was reasonably priced at around 35 euros.

The staff were charismatic and professional, and made us feel like royalty. We stayed an embarrassingly long time, whilst they were setting up for the dinner service, but we were never made to feel uncomfortable.

I would strongly recommend a Saturday lunch at the Procope for the experience, but order the reasonably priced set menu, a bottle of Chinon and soak up the atmosphere for as long as possible.

Better food than 10 years ago, back to what it was 20 years ago. Service was slow this time.

A restaurant full of history and famous guests over the centuries

Very atmospheric place, great food and unexpectedly very polite and attentive waiters.

Detestable service and terrible value for money served on the plate.
I absolutely do not recommend scallops.
The service is deplorable given the price of the dishes. Waiters barely friendly and unable to speak English for nearby tables.
I absolutely do not recommend it !!!! Total scam

The building is why you go, the incredible food is a bonus

Traditional good food.
Fair prices for the center of the city.
Fantastic interiors.
Cozy true parisien ambience.
Perfect to feel the romantic armosphere of Paris.

Very delayed service. Good was very average for the price. There was absolutely nothing special except the company I went with. Much ado over little. Beautiful interiors. Better as a museum?

Absolutely lovely lunch! We sat downstairs and enjoyed outstanding services. Everybody was so professional and courteous. The food was excellent too. Perfectly prepared salmon with caponata, amazing escalope Milanese and rigatoni pasta, delicious duck magret. We were celebrating my dad s 82nd birthday and his dessert arrived with a sparkler in it while the restaurant staff softly sang Happy Birthday. It was unexpected and very sweet! A divine experience, we look forward to returning.

Great food ......can't get enough been here twice already friendly staff.....very reasonably priced

A restaurant of traditional French cuisine that perfectly combines quality and style.
The dishes are fine with a special mention for the calf's head and the hen in the pot.
The staff was efficient and pleasant.

From the best of Paris excellent food highly recommended

We really like the place and the cuisine they have, all very good, whenever we come to Paris we go one day.

Historic and atypical place ... All served by very friendly staff ...

Very good brasserie, a butler very friendly and professional. Excellent cuisine including quality veal stew.

A mythical place, we go for the decor of course, but the restoration is quality and service too. To do two alone, or with foreign friends who will be delighted with this moment!

Wanted to go here since it's the oldest restaurant in Paris-1686! Went our last night. Food was good though my medium rare steak came out well done. After a short conversation they reluctantly took it back and brought me a properly cooked one. The place itself it amazing inside. Make sure to take a leisurely stroll to the bathroom. Good experience overall but very expensive. Be prepared.

Delicious. It is worth eating. I would return with my eyes closed.

excellent place, a lot of history, retains its initial facades.

Very little wait despite the number of people waiting. Very good French cuisine. Various dishes. Value for money impeccable. Superb place. Welcome and friendly service. We changed 3 times of wine because we did not like the ones we chose. The waiters have always been patient.

Excellent, refined atmosphere, tasty food, impeccable service. The luxury of the decor is impressive.

I was hoping for more. We got the seafood platter and other than the shrimp there really wasn't a lot of meat in any of the items. The lobster was good but the crab and other shellfish had no taste at all. Bland. The service was fine, the tables were really shoved together so it was like eating with other people.

Very good, the setting as the kitchen. Historic place.

very nice restaurant and that's it. disappointing menu: cold potatoes, rooster with salted wine, inedible tiramisu and profiteroles with still frozen cabbages. Waiter not smiling and waiting time much too long

Nice, elegant decor in one of the oldest restaurants in Paris (founded 1686). Traditional food at a surprisingly reasonable price (considering it's a restaurant of standing).

Very nice restaurant in the heart of Paris near the metro Odeon. Beautiful setting, old but nice and well preserved. Excellent service, attentive waiters and very courteous. Quality food, price suitable for a restaurant of this type. Booking is recommended.

My favorite restaurant in Paris! Delicious food in a place rich in history. It may be a bit expensive but it's worth it. We have always received very good attention

Excellent service, they ask everyone if you'd like to use a French or English menu which is very helpful. Their food was quite good!

I really liked Procope. A traditional place, with smiling and friendly waiters, and very good food. I felt really good there.
