| | Brasserie Lipp - Saint-Germain des Pres, Paris, France |
 | | The Brasserie Lipp is not a restaurant: it insists - correctly - on being called a brasserie, a place to drink beer, or wine, or coffee, and to eat the reknowned Alsatian cuisine, almost austere in its simplicity but copious in its portions. |
 | | Marcel Proust used to send for jugs of the Alsatian beer from across town, Hemingway wrote his pre-war dispatches from here, and in the Fifties Chagall, Camus, Jean Genet, Balthus, Michèle Morgan, Françoise Sagan, Charles Trenet and Simone Signoret with Yves Montand were all regular habitués of this famous establishment. |
 | | Cette belle et grande histoire de l'ancienne "Brasserie des Bords du Rhin" remonte au 27 Octobre 1880 lorsqu'un certain Léonard Lipp s'installe avec son épouse Pétronille au 151 du Boulevard Saint-Germain. |
