Polidor
The same room since 1845, still cash only
In brief
Opened in 1845 as a crémerie selling dairy and turned into a restaurant by the end of the nineteenth century. Known for its long shared tables and an unchanged room; Hemingway ate here while living nearby, and Woody Allen used it in Midnight in Paris. Cards aren't accepted.

Good to know
- Bring cash; cards aren't accepted.
- Tables are shared, and talking to your neighbour is normal.
