BRASSERIE LIPP: HISTORIC CAFES AND BRASSERIES OF PARIS
Leonard Lipp fled Alsace during the Franco-Prussian War and opened his brasserie in 1880.
Gastronomic symbols of that region are still standard fare. Sausage and sauerkraut (German for sour cabbage) pair well with Alsatian beers, such as Kronenbourg.
Ernest Hemingway extolled the brasserie’s culinary virtues in his book, "A Moveable Feast", and on Liberation Day in Paris, 1944, he was the first patron to walk through the door and order a drink.
1958 brought a great honor to the proprietor of Brasserie Lipp. Marcellin Cazas was awarded the Legion of Honor for hosting the most prestigious literary salon in Paris.
It is not uncommon to be whisked upstairs to be seated, although the main floor is the place to see and be seen. Up or down, it’s a trip.
