Le Zimmer, established in 1896, is closely linked to the Théâtre du Châtelet, having once provided direct access for theatergoers. The restaurant has a rich history of hosting renowned artists and writers, including Jules Verne and Marcel Proust.
During the “dark years,” it served as a meeting place for the resistance network “Honneur de la Police,” which helped families escape persecution. In 2000, it was renovated by designer Jacques Garcia, restoring its historical charm.
The restaurant offers a French cuisine focused on quality, seasonal ingredients, carefully selected by the Chef, making it one of the most beautiful cafés in Paris.
