    What a pleasure it was to watch this presentation. My wife and I made our first trip to France in 2012, and have been back four times since. I brush up on my high-school French for a few months in advance, yet people there go out of their way to accommodate us in English. Nowhere in the world have we enjoyed such wonderful cuisine and friendliness. My wife wants to visit Le Procope this fall. Merci bien!!

    I can see myself going to Vaudeville every day of the week for their daily special. Over a period of two or three weeks in Paris, that still leaves time to check out your other recommendations and hit a bunch of my old-standby favorites. Thank you for your suggestions and well done videos.

    exploring Paris for almost 20 years I came across 2-3 gold nuggets in terms of restaurants
    If you are looking for seafood served in an unconventional way I have a specific address for you
    “crabe marteau” literaly “hammer crab” (metro line 1 station “Argentine”):
    it offers fish and seafood dishes but its signature dish is simple:
    1 large crab of 1kg including shell (~2lb ! ! ); 3 flavored mayonaises; small steamed potatoes AND a wooden mallet!!! to “manage” the shell! ! !
    the other dishes on the menu are generally with crab meat
    after your dish I suggest you try their flagship dessert: "kouign Amman" a typically Breton variation (the region west of Normandy) on the classic croissant

    How strange to call the Procope a "brasserie" - that is, "brewery", a label that typically refers to Alsatian places that actually ARE breweries , or at the least serve Alsatian food. Nothing about the Procope is "brasserie"-ish. As for it's being a literary cafe, yes, the original was - but it closed in the nineteenth century and the space has been used for several purposes over the decades - including, I believe, a bouillon. The current restaurant (not at all a cafe) dates from 1957. The "eighteenth century" decor might more properly be called "eighteenth century style" - I doubt any of it has been in this particular space since the eighteenth century (I can't guarantee some of the objects themselves aren't eighteenth century).
    This is a fun fluff piece, but as history it is a disaster.

    • @paristoptips
      @paristoptips  Місяць тому

      I kind of agree with you. This is a restaurant, certainly not a café, but considering the dishes on the menu, I classified it as a brasserie

      @@paristoptips I don't see a single Alsatian dish on the menu. Honestly, I don't think most people who know Paris (I lived there for seven years and wrote a book on its food) would consider Procope a brasserie by any measure. Nor, for that matter, the Vaudeville, where I used to eat regularly and which also offers not a single Alsatian dish.

    • @jimchevallier528
      @jimchevallier528 Місяць тому

      Honestly, aside from Bofinger's I don't see a single place I would consider a brasserie. And no Brasserie Lipp - THE major brasserie in Paris?
      The thing for your audience to realize is that, unlike "bistro", which has become a rather shapeless word since it first appeared in the late nineteenth century, "brasserie" has a very specific history and meaning. The first brasseries appeared in Paris after France lost Alsace in the Franco-Prussian war and lots of Alsatians came to Paris and introduced their choucroute and other specialties in what really WERE breweries at the time. It's not just an alternate term for "nice down home but decorative place to eat".

    • @paristoptips
      @paristoptips  Місяць тому

      You know what, I'm a Parisian and I live in Paris 😉
      At Vaudeville you have 3 different choucroutes. Isn't that Alsatian?
      And a Brasserie is not automatically Alsatian oriented. It's usually a restaurant where you have a sea fruit stall in front of it, in Paris.

      @@paristoptips Sorry about the Vaudeville - their main menu has no Alsatian dishes and I didn't know it as a brasserie when I used to go there. But yes, now it calls itself a a brasseries.
      Procope has no shellfish stand in front of it, as far as that goes. Nowhere does it describe itself as a "brasserie" - "Le Procope offers a traditional and bourgeois French cuisine, through different specialties such as Coq au vin and Tête de veau, braised beef cheek, homemade Mille-feuille and traditional Procopio-style Tiramisù"
      Bofinger, which historically IS a brasserie, has no shellfish stands in front of it. Nor does the Brasserie Lipp. Nor does the Brasserie de l'Isle Saint Louis. That simply does not define a brasserie.
      Can you define the difference between a bistro and a brasserie? Or simply a local restaurant? It looks very much to me like you're confusing them all together)
      (And yes I realize you're Parisian - so was I for seven years and I go back fairly often. And again, I've researched the history of Paris food in great detail.)
