Grand Café Capucines

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] ​

le grand cafe capucines, this cafe is near the subway station in the city center. The environment of this store is very elegant and comfortable. I ordered a cup of the signature cappuccino.

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.

Its history and fame are no less than that of the Café de la Paix. When talking about the history of the Grand Café, we have to mention two people - the Lumière brothers of France. They were the inventors of the movie projector, and the world's first movie was shot and projected by them. On December 28, 1895, some celebrities in Paris came to the basement of the Grand Café at No. 14 Avenue Capucines at the invitation of the Lumière brothers to watch a movie. In the dark, the audience saw the realistic picture on the white cloth. A reporter reported: "A carriage was pulled by a galloping horse and ran towards us. A lady sitting next to me was so scared that she suddenly stood up." This was the world's first real movie, which meant the maturity of film technology. Later, people set this day - December 28, 1895 as the birthday of film, and the Lumière brothers were also called "the father of modern film."  In fact, let alone the "first" status of this cafe in the history of world cinema, its interior decoration alone is already very interesting. It is the work of the famous French interior designer Jacques Garcia, who perfectly combines classical and modern aesthetics in this cafe. From this perspective, it has surpassed the Peace Cafe. After sitting down, the waiter will first ask: "What country are you from?" Hearing that I answered him in French, he was very surprised and asked happily: "Do you speak French?" I stretched out my thumb and index finger, gestured, and answered: "A little bit." So he first gave two Chinese menus, handed them to Soyota and Xiao Shouzi, and then took a French menu and gave it to me happily.  Facts have proved that my insistence on speaking more French is right, because there is no Menu set in the Chinese version of the menu.  Seeing that there is a discount set, the three of us, who have just spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy bags, chose Menu without hesitation. The two-course set menu (appetizer + main course, or main course + dessert) is 22.9 euros, and the three-course set menu (appetizer + main course + dessert) is 29.9 euros. We chose the latter.  My appetizer was a cold tomato soup made with peppers and other vegetables. Please note that it is a cold soup, haha. But it still tastes very refreshing.  The tableware is still very beautiful. And when the two plates are stacked, the patterns will be aligned.  Soyota and the skinny guy both chose cheese with toast. Unexpectedly, this goat cheese has a very strong taste, and they both had a hard time eating it. Later, I gave my soup to Soyota and I finished her cheese. In fact, if you are used to goat cheese, you should still think it tastes very authentic.  We all ordered Perrier for drinks.  There are two choices for the main course: sea bream or grilled chicken. The two meaty Buddhas ordered chicken without hesitation, and I had already eaten many kinds of fish on a date with Du Yun the night before, so I also chose chicken. The sauce tasted very special and was slightly sweet. The skinny guy liked it very much. The side dishes were mashed potatoes and a little salad.  For dessert, I had baked caramel pudding. It was rich in milk flavor, sweet and fragrant.  The two of them chose apple pie. It tasted great too. After the two girls went to France once, they fell in love with French apple pie.  The set meal cost 29.9 euros per person, and the total cost for three people plus drinks was 100.3 euros, and a tip of 1.2 euros was also given. In this way, afternoon tea became a late lunch, and the three of us were very full. It was enough to support the afternoon activities. Because the big cafe was very beautiful, we took a lot of photos while ordering, waiting for the dishes to be served, and eating. Soyota insisted that this angle made me look very elegant.  The bathroom was upstairs, and the stairs were also very beautiful, with a stained glass ceiling on top.  Looking at the first floor from the stairs.  Before leaving, I took two more photos at the entrance of the cafe. If you come here at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, it is also great to have an afternoon tea set here. We started to eat lunch at almost 3 o'clock, and there were two white-haired old ladies who came to have afternoon tea at the next table. They ordered coffee, ice cream and cake, and chatted quietly while eating. There was also a bouquet of freshly bought flowers on hand. It is really an enviable elegant and leisurely life. I hope that when I get old, I can spend a wonderful afternoon like this with my bestie.

A good restaurant, the taste is not bad at all

This is a relatively famous restaurant. The oysters and snails there tasted good. The seafood platter was large and had three layers. The lemon was a bit sour, so it tasted good in the seafood. It would have been even better with mustard.
