One of the eldest brasseries in Paris
Should you like to have a pure Parisian experience, La Coupole is the place to go.
You can start with half a dozen of oysters and then taste the steak tartare with a nice wine... but don't go there only for food: the brasserie is located in an old building whose the ceiling is fantastic. And please have a look at the typical not smiling Parisian waiters and enjoy how they dance from table to table.
Funny thing: apparently the curry lamb is famous there but I have never tried it. I let British specialists compare it with what they have in the UK since the first dish in the UK is Indian.
Do not hesitate to choose the fruit gazpacho as dessert... for the ones who don't care, go for some crepes suzette ;-)
