A 1927 Art Deco monument to the grand brasserie in the 14th, where Sartre, de Beauvoir, Hemingway, Picasso, and Man Ray all drank — the painted columns the work of artists who settled their tabs in canvas. Order the plateau de fruits de mer for the full effect, or the lamb curry, a house specialty since opening day, and finish with profiteroles. Come for a late dinner, when the room fills and the Deco columns glow; the Sunday dancing tradition still continues. It is not merely a restaurant but a preserved chapter of twentieth-century Paris, still fully alive.
