Le Procope - "The 1686 Table"
Le Procope - "The 1686 Table"
An Enlightenment-Era Dinner in Paris’s Oldest Café
Founded in 1686, Le Procope is not simply a restaurant - it is the birthplace of the Parisian café, a salon of ideas, and a table once shared by Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot and Benjamin Franklin.
For one evening, Seat at the Table takes over this historic house for an intimate, candlelit private salon banquet inside its storied walls.
Guests will gather beneath chandeliers and red velvet drapery to experience a multi-course menu inspired by classical French gastronomy - a celebration of the dishes, rituals, and decadence of another century, interpreted for the modern table.
This is not a themed night. It is a return to the origins of dining as culture: conversation, philosophy, pleasure, and time well spent.
Expect a curated guest list, exceptional French wines, and a setting that has shaped over three centuries of Parisian life.
A rare opportunity to dine not just in Paris - but inside its living history.
Seats limited to 20 only.
Ticket includes welcome Champagne aperitif, 3 course al la carte menu with 3 glass wine pairing per person.
