Big busy bustling 30s style Cafe/Brasserie, the menu is excellent & exciting with all the French favourites, my Steak Tartare was exquisite & Escargots just perfect. Wine selection OK, but nice quality. Cheese a little dry but coffees top notch, shame the service was so poor.

This restaurant has a great, historical reputation. The decor is really neat--art deco with panache. We had made a res. We were seated promptly. No one came to our table for almost 10 minutes. We had to ask. One should never, ever have to ask for service! The waiter was curt and not focused. He seemed preoccupied. I finally asked... More

This restaurant is very large but still managed to create an intimate atmosphere. The food was very good and the wine outstanding. Our waiter was intelligent, charming and very helpful and we felt that we had been singled out for excellent service. We hadn't it was just the professionalism of the staff. The food/wine was expensive but good value nonetheless.

Being located at Montparnas La Coupole is the most famous Parisian restaurants. It used to be a place where all the famous people come together. The interior design is a real masterpiece. We took a seat at The Art Deco dining room. That was beautiful. And the cousine was synchronized with the whole atmosphere. I tried oysters first and last... More

Avoid .....poor service, ambiance, food. Historical restaurant that is now a tourist mill. Have had wonderful experiences with dining in Paris until this evening. Really have nothing good to say about our dinner. The highlight of the evening was the nice wine..... My lamb was pot roast with minute rice.

La Coupole is a fancy, beautiful brasserie in the most famous Montparnasse. The place is undoubtedly a quality one, when judging by the food, the atmosphere, the service. The only minus is that the place is just too crowded to make the overall experience special. It's nice to come back there, Label Rouge is one of my favorite dishes, but... More

Had a nice dinner here. Atmosphere is good, service is surprisingly friendly, although not always available when you want to order drinks. Food and wine are good, and slightly overpriced. Still recommend the experience.

La Coupole is often called a tourist trap. We cannot agree. This time, my wife had one of her best meat tartares ever, and believe me, she's a tartare expert. My fish was perfectly made. And the oysters we had with the champagne to begin with... yum yum!

The huge reataurant is impressive ; the crowd that fit in are enormous and noisy; it's food for tourists with nostalgia or wanting to share something that do not exist anymore
