Located on the legendary boulevard St Germain, this restaurant, which celebrates Parisian life, is a monument in itself. Having barely changed since its opening at the beginning of the 20th century, its Art Nouveau décor and copper fittings conjure up images of the past.

Unlike many Parisian brasseries, this is one establishment that has retained its independance. Authentic Paris at its best!

The Vagenende serves traditional French cuisine including a fixed "gourmet" menu at 22,90 € as well as oysters and a wide variety of wonderful, fresh seafood (according to season).

Average price: 34 € (drinks not included)
