Grand Café Capucines Review

Le Grand Cafe Capucines, the ancient restaurant supporting the Paris Opera, a hundred decades of history, should be regarded as a well-known French restaurant in the city, the snails here are really delicious, and there is no discernment. The hippo opposite is also good, but there is no queue [laughs cry] ​

It is a seafood restaurant. The seafood platter inside is good. The lobster can also be on. The price is a bit expensive. The oysters are very cheap. A dozen are similar to the domestic price. The red wine is very pure.

Open in the old building, the western restaurant, snails, grilled steaks are delicious, and champagne is also delicious.

Its history and reputation are no less than that of the Peace Cafe. When it comes to the history of the Great Cafe, one cannot but mention two people, the Lumière brothers of France, who were the inventors of the film projectors, and the first film in the world was made and shown. On December 28, 1895, some of the Paris socialites, at the invitation of the Lumière brothers, came to the basement of the Café 14th Avenue to watch the movie. The audience saw realistic pictures on white cloth in the dark. A reporter reported: "A horse-drawn carriage was coming up with a horse-drawn horse, and a woman in my seat was so scared that she suddenly stood up." This is the world's first real film, which means the maturity of cinema technology. Later, the day was designated December 28, 1895, as the birth day of the film, and the Lumière brothers were also known as the "father of modern cinema."  In fact, not to mention the "first" status of this cafe in the history of world cinema, just say that its interior decoration, it is already very interesting, it is the work of the famous French decorator Jacques Garcia (Jacques Garcia), Jacques will be classical and modern beauty in this cafe finished Combine beauty. In this sense, it has trumped the Peace Cafe. After I got seated, the waiter would ask, "What country are you from?" He was surprised to hear me answer him in French. He asked happily, "Do you speak French?" I held out my thumb and forefinger, and compared it with a gesture, and replied, "A little." So he gave two Chinese menus and handed them to Soyota and Skinny. I took a French menu and happily gave it to me.  It turns out that I am right to insist on speaking more French, because there is no Menu package in the Chinese menu.  Seeing that there is a discount package, the three of us who just spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy the package, did not hesitate to choose Menu. The two-course package (front dish + main dish, or main dish + dessert) 22.9 Europe, the three-course package (front dish + main dish + dessert) 29.9 Europe. We chose the latter.  My fore dish, tomato-flavored cold soup made with vegetables such as chili. Please note that it is a cold soup, haha. But the taste is still very refreshing.  The tableware is still beautiful. And when the two plates are stacked, the patterns will be aligned.  Soyota and the little skinny both chose cheese with toast. Unexpectedly, this goat cheese tasted quite heavy, and they both had a little difficulty eating it. Later, I changed my soup to Soyota and I solved her cheese. In fact, if you are used to goat cheese, you should still feel that the taste is very authentic.  We all ordered Paris water for the drink.  There are two choices for the main course: salmon or roast chicken. The two meat buns asked for chicken without hesitation, and I had eaten N species of fish the night before and Du Yun's date, so I also chose chicken. The sauce tastes very special and slightly sweet. The little thin guy likes it very much. The side dish is mashed potatoes and a little salad.  Dessert, mine is roasted caramel pudding. The milk is rich, sweet and fragrant.  They chose apple pie. The taste is also very good. After the two girls went to France once, they fell in love with French apple pie.  This meal is set for 29.9 euros per person, 3 people plus drinks for a total of 100.3 euros, and I also gave 1.2 euro tips. In this way, afternoon tea became a late lunch, and all three people ate very well. Enough to support the afternoon activities. Because the big cafe is very beautiful, we ordered, waited for food, and ate, and took a lot of photos. Soyota insisted that this angle made me very temperamental.  The bathroom is upstairs, the stairs are also very beautiful, and there is a painted glass zenith on the top.  Look at the first floor from the stairs.  Before leaving, I wiped two more at the entrance of the cafe. If you come here at three or four in the afternoon, it is also great to have an afternoon tea set here. We started lunch because it was almost 3 o'clock, and the next table was two white-haired old ladies who came to drink afternoon tea. The two ordered coffee, ice cream and cake, and chatted quietly while eating, and placed a bunch of fresh flowers on hand. It is an enviable elegant and leisurely life. I hope I can spend a good afternoon with my girlfriends when I am old.

Still a little famous shop, the oysters and snails inside taste good, the seafood platter is large, three layers. The lemon is a bit sour, so it is delicious in the seafood, if there is mustard, it is better.
