Worth it?
Come for the history, and order the classics. The café was a meeting place for Sartre and de Beauvoir and is known for its hot chocolate, while one creator calls it famous for onion soup and croque monsieur. It is expensive, which is the cost of sitting somewhere with this much literary history. Treat it as an experience, not a bargain.
Before you go

- For a meal, get the onion soup or croque monsieur.
- Walk to Église Saint-Sulpice, a free church also in the 6th arrondissement.
