When wandering through the 6th arrondissement of Paris, be sure to visit Le Choupinet, a brasserie Parisienne located right in front of the Jardin du Luxembourg. You'll find mostly a blend of locals here, Millennials and Gen-Z being the majority.
It's a cool, laid back bistro blending modern Parisian charm (famous for it's giant teddy bears on the facade and a few in empty seats). On a Sunday afternoon during in winter, enjoy a drink inside under the glow of red neon lights, with DJ playing beats in the background (the interior has almost an American diner meets Paris bar feel to it) and during the rest of the seasons, take a table outside on the terrace and enjoy quintessential people watching around the square and most importantly, while there, trying the Croque Madame is essential.
What is the Parisian Iconic Croque Madame?
This Parisian favourite takes the classic Croque Monsieur up a notch by topping it with a poached egg. With crispy bread, ham, and melted Gruyère cheese, it’s a simple, elegant dish that has stood the test of time, cherished by both locals and visitors.
