"A legendary Saint-Germain institution dating to 1885 that hosted thinkers and writers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, James Joyce, and Albert Camus; the café even established a literary prize awarded to new French writers for nearly a century. Expect large, pricey coffees and an unforgettable, historically charged ambiance—stick to a classic espresso or allongé if you want to keep the bill down." - Vicki Denig
