Lipp, Historical brasserie in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France.
Description
Lipp is a brasserie in the 6th arrondissement at 151 Boulevard Saint-Germain with seating for about 120 guests and original Belle-Époque interior design. The dining rooms feature ceramic wall panels depicting exotic plants, black and white tile floors, and a painted ceiling with African-inspired motifs.
History
Léonard Lipp and his wife Pétronille opened the establishment on October 27, 1880 and quickly gained recognition for their specialty dishes like cervelat rémoulade. During World War I, it adopted a different name to distance itself from anti-German sentiment linked to its Alsatian heritage.
Culture
The restaurant draws writers and intellectuals who have made it a gathering place for conversations and creative work for generations. This literary community remains visible in how guests use the dining rooms and interact with the space.
Practical
The restaurant opens early and closes late most days, accepting major credit cards and restaurant vouchers for payment. Visitors should plan to spend time here without rushing, as the experience comes from sitting and observing the rooms.
Did you know?
The establishment has awarded the Prix Cazes literary prize since 1935 to recognize debut authors, making it an important venue for emerging writers. This award demonstrates how the venue has become a cultural force beyond the dining experience.
