I’ve heard mixed reviews of this restaurant. It appears well known, so I am hopeful that maybe someone can give me an idea if this is a place I should check out. Thank you in advance!

It is a historic brasserie opposite a train station. I have passed by but I have never been. However, there are many similar establishments all around Paris and the food is rarely groundbreaking; it is mostly about the traditional setting. So, it is probably worth a shot if you stay nearby, or find yourself nearby around lunchtime, but otherwise I would not travel across town.

Thank you! Good to know. What about Le Procope? Tourist trap?

I will probably try Le Procope next time the in-laws are in town (they're American), but I have never been and I have no opinion for the time being! But I'm sure others have been and will share their thoughts.

I had lunch at Le Procope a few years ago on a whim. Passed by and thought it was fate. The food was pretty good. Better than standard fare I would say.
