Initially a bit overwhelming as it is a large place, not intimate. Once seated, however, we had the chance to look around. Historic theater district restaurant. Very arty, with many art scenes painted on the columns and pictures of Paris life adorning the walls. Menu...was varied with a large fresh shellfish selection that was an attraction to many diners. Many locals seemed to frequenting the place. We had the steak and pork chop dishes. Good but not anything special. Worth a one time visit for a special occasion.More

The service is bad Impatient waiters Lack of flexibility to change things in the menu Most of the food is not tasty. Very unpleasant atmosphere They are lucky that the tourists change

Not my first choice should we return to Paris. Our side salad came late and was basically leaves in a saucer. Nothing more. Our beef casserole was tough, full of grisel. Dessert was disappointing. The washrooms are down 2 flights, but there is a handicapped...facility on the main floor. Next trip we will definately go somewhere else. Paris is full of good restaurants.More

This venue was recommended to us by fellow Australians who are frequent visitors to Paris. We were a group of 18, pre-booked, set menu (2 or 3 choices) - orders placed 3 days prior. This was our final dinner for a premium priced European coach...tour via a reputable company. It was a 6pm seating, so the restaurant was quiet, plenty of staff for when it became busier around 7pm. The tender beef casserole was certainly slow cooked. The cut of beef was poor quality for many who ordered it - in my example, around 20% was gristle. Many others had a similar problem. My partner had cod fillet. Poorly filleted with no less than 9 bones. A colleague had Indian vegetable curry and basmati rice. He reported a near absence of both curry and rice. The time taken between delivery of the first and last meals on each of the two tables was many, many minutes for both the main course and dessert. I could point out other shortcomings, but I really don’t feel it’s worthwhile exerting further energy on this unique and renowned outlet. I had to follow up on 2 drink orders on each occasion. The staff seemed disinterested. Maybe the review should go via the tour company, but the service provider was where there was the moment of truth. Lucky it was 2 stars - venue was remarkable and staff were well presented. As mentioned, it was part of a premium priced tour. Hopefully your food quality and service will be much better.More

We came early and this allowed us to enjoy the views in this big brasserie in the heart of Paris. By 8 o'clock the restaurant is crowded and you see the people, but forget to look at the architecture and the pictures on the walls....The food is surprisingly good and the staff puts on a classy show serving you. It is not cheap, but certainly worth the price.More

The restaurant is gorgeous and unique from an American perspective. The food and desserts were very good. We ordered ravioli, fish and steak and all were very good. The service was not exceptional but OK. This is our second time in Paris and second time...we dined there and I would love to go back largely because the setting is IMHO so French.More

Lovely restaurant, good food , friendly staff , great location , would definitely recommend a visit here.

I cannot rate this restaurant highly enough. It is a traditional Parisian brasserie, serving traditional French food, cooked, presented and served to a very high standard, yet it is extremely good value for money. Half a dozen oysters, a huge steak with bearnaise sauce and...frites, and a dessert cost no more than I would have paid in Manchester, and less than some places I can think of. The decor is fabulous, Art Deco throughout. We had a table at the centre of the restaurant, under the dome which gives it its name. The service was impeccable. The staff were very pleasant and extremely professional. They worked hard to ensure that we had a great dining experience. I was celebrating a significant birthday, After the meal the waiters brought over a fake birthday cake with an indoor roman candle sparkling away. The waiters, and many of the other guests sang joyeux anniversaire and applauded me. It was a great experience.More

I got terribly sick after eating moules frites two weeks ago. It completely ruined my stay in Paris for several days. I wrote a message on the website, but never received an answer. This is sad, since it’s been a tradition for us to visit...the restaurant once a year when in Paris. This was the last time😳More

Such a disappointment. La Coupole has been on my bucket list for ages. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with art deco of the very minimal style. Service was good, apart from the annoying attempt to up sell me the oysters to a more expensive type....I had the fish choucroute. A hearty, traditional dish that was substantial although not particularly attractive to look at. I came to regret this choice when I was violently sick all night. My main beef is that La Coupole is no longer the glamorous place it once was. Aware of the irony (although we do live in Paris), it was full of tourists. Badly dressed, ie casually dressed. That should have been our warning. For a date night, it didn’t feel remotely special. Ticked off the bucket list, but won’t return.More

I got sick from the lunch I had at La Coupole. I am 100% sure. The rest of my family was fine, and their lunch was good. But not mine. I have written to the restaurant twice since, but they do not reply, and it...has been almost 2 weeks now. To me it seems, that they are so big and have so many tourist coming through the restaurant, that they don´t really care.More

Another reasonable meal steak was excellent though chips were cold I believe the menu is much reduced and price has certainly gone up. Service on this occasion was poor incredibly slow waiter seemed disinterested Wasn’t happy especially when we got a QR code though which...to payment!!!More
