What people say

"Probably one of the most iconic restaurant in Paris: but do you know why? 🥐☕🌿 This restaurant has been the favorite writing places of many French writers since its opening in 1885: Verlaine and Rimbaud were the first, followed by surrealists and existentialists, including Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. You can just pass by, but if you want to enjoy a meal here, try to avoid the week-end, for it can be quite crowded. the little anecdote for the curious ones: one of the rooms is named after Simone de Beauvoir's novel, The Mandarins "
"Nel cuore di Saint Germain Des Prés, Les Deux Magots nasce come caffè letterario nel 1914 sulle ceneri di una boutique di lusso fondata un secolo prima nell'elegante palazzo. Da caffè letterario e ritrovo per artisti, oggi questo storico bar rappresenta lo spirito della tradizione culinaria parigina dove gustare piatti tipici per un pranzo veloce o una colazione abbondante, ma anche brunch, aperitivo e cena."
"This is one of the most famous café's in Paris. It is a literary cafe, meaning famous authors and artists used to frequent it quite a bit. Interestingly, this cafe and its twin Café des Flore (another literary cafe) used to be distinguished by the political leanings of the people who ate there. "
