Ruth PayneNovember 15, 2014This is a place you should go for the historical experience, not for the great food or cheap prices. I went as a part of a literary tour and got the ceverlas and Lipp beer, and it cost me around 16€.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Walid ChaabanMarch 14, 2019The place is just stunning!! This over a century old place is a must try. The food is great the service is just wonderful and spotless. I recommend
Devin HealeyAugust 13, 2022Phenomenal traditional French cuisine and an insane wine list in a kitschy atmosphere but the experience & ambiance was not great. We went during vacation season and it obnoxiously crowded and hectic.
Elizabeth BrooksOctober 19, 2012Steak tartare, frites.- Lipp in the day is quiet & a great place to catch up with friends. gets lumped in with Flore & Deux Magots-has as much or more history, but less touristy & better for a meal.
Katherine CudmoreMarch 26, 2023Feels authentically French, lovely staff & even lovelier food. They do not provide English menus, but they do speak enough English (we also heard them speak Italian). Charming place! Great french food
Benjamin EkmanMarch 16, 2019Classic French with waiters with attitude, no menu in English and good food. Nice! I recommend the duck, it was great!
Ben RAugust 24, 2014Steak tartare. You'll get the full brasserie experience here, including stereotypical brusque service. But it's historic and not as overtly touristy as some of the other classic St Germain spots.
Francesco Paolo FumarolaMay 23, 2023The classic fatty food from a brasserie. Deception for the service (very slow and little caring), missing home brewed beers and little high addition
Polina MelamedAugust 3, 2015Legendary place, serving classic French dishes with classic French service: the food delicious but you're not loved :) totally worth it though!
BaratundeApril 19, 2011If you're American, order the Andouillette. The waiter will respond with extreme condescension and incredulity. Insist. Then, after you love the dish, ask for a Diet Coke. His head will explode
Jen Pollack BiancoNovember 5, 2013This Alsatian brasserie feels like it's out of Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. Embrace the attitude-- and go for the steak tartare or frisée salad if you're not wearing shorts.
Tina JuanJanuary 5, 2016When 2 or 3 order the same dish, they have to share it from a big portion.u get a big portion for 3 that u have to share. it's very unpractical since we were 8..besides i find it overpriced
Tammi WilliamsNovember 26, 2013Classic brasserie. Duck leg confit was perfection. Mashed potatoes were buttery and divine. They are not resting on their reputation/famous name.
Anthony WindramMay 26, 2014Atmospheric, though I could see why some find it foreboding, but well worth trying as it is an experience and preferable to dining at some tourist trap.
Bianca BuenoOctober 27, 2014If you want a dessert to share try the île flotante. one of the best I try, but to share for sure.
Isabela SchlupSeptember 13, 2014Love the place! We have 2meals in the same trip because its great! Read in my blog for details
Carmen LawrenceJuly 15, 2017Nice location and service. Agneau inedible (tough). The German specialities are good, though, as are the wines!
Sarah E.October 16, 2012If you like steak tartare, Lipp's is the best you'll ever have. So delicious and the fries are to die for too.
Daniel TrnkaSeptember 15, 2020You can find better food and lower prices in Paris but authenticity is what you're here for. The service was quite nice and attentive. 14 EUR for a pint of beer is a joke.
Cannis ChanMay 30, 2016Came here just to be Hemingway for the night - the staff are funny (in a French way), and the food is typically French
Levi's FranceMay 14, 2012Have the charcuterie, it's brilliant. Recommended by Mr. ANDRE, one of our collaborators for Vive les Friends.
Charles FriedOctober 19, 2016This is perhaps the most authentic Parisian dinning experience, François Mitterrand used to eat there.- Vicki JiangDecember 6, 2022The food is delicious, however the waited charged us extra money as tips without telling us, and there is already 15% service fee on the costs. It was never happened and somewhat disappointing.
Enrico AlbanesiAugust 6, 2014Historical and traditional brasserie, nice to try once! A bit touristic
Mauricio PrietoOctober 25, 2011Yes, good and lively atmosphere, but also my filet with bernaise sauce was cold and dry (like the service). The frittes were good though.
MarkJune 20, 2010Classic French Brassiere. Busy atmosphere, good food, good location with many other places to visit nearby.
Joep WJanuary 18, 2014Don't go there! Waiters are rude, food is mediocre but very expensive, the Lippbeer is ok (just as the whole atmosphere). Only if you want sardines straight from a can, go and knock yourself out!
- Mauricio PrietoOctober 25, 2011Lots of signage, but you'll only see two in English: No shorts allowed, No salad served as meal.
Fabio Massimo PFebruary 16, 2013The worst service I have ever tried! Waiters rude, long time to receive the menu and water. They slammed fork and knife on our table! Good food actually, but why 15% of service included?
- Brasserie Lipp has been serving its classy Left Bank clientele Alsatian delicacies and 'blond' beer since 1880
