"A Montparnasse classic once frequented by writers and artists like Hemingway, Verlaine, and Picasso, this leafy brasserie is known for generous shellfish platters and traditional meat dishes, an extensive selection of homemade cocktails (including absinthe-based creations), and the choice of a lofty terrace in warm weather or nostalgic red leather banquettes indoors." - Vicki Denig
