Lipp, Historical brasserie in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France.

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.

Léonard Lipp, born in Goldbach in 1846, left Alsace after it became German in 1870 and opened the brasserie with his wife Pétronille on 27 October 1880, serving cervelat rémoulade, choucroute garnie and Alsatian beer. Anti-German feeling in the First World War forced the name Brasserie des Bords du Rhin to become Brasserie des Bords for several years. In July 1920 Marcelin Cazes took over and had it redecorated.

The dining rooms are humorously named after Dante's Divine Comedy: Paradise near the entrance on the boulevard side, Purgatory in the back room, and Hell upstairs. Since 1935 the brasserie has awarded the Prix Cazes, a literary prize that once came with a cheque and twenty free meals.

Lipp serves continuously from 11:45 to midnight, so an early or late table avoids the midday and evening rush. The three dining areas are named after Dante's Divine Comedy: paradise near the entrance on the boulevard side, purgatory in the back room, hell upstairs. The street number 151 is marked on a black plaque beside the orange awning.

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.
