0 comments // in Bars/Restaurants Bistrots // February 13, 2012
The Rotunda is a mythical place in the Montparnasse area.
The story goes back almost 90 years to when a certain Victor Libion took over the institution, which was then just a simple neighborhood bistro.
In 1910, many artists moved away from Montmartre to Montparnasse, which was very popular during the Roaring Twenties and became a hub for intellectuals and artists: Picasso left his mark there, followed by Vlaminck, Braque, Léger … It also included Modigliani, Cocteau, Apollinaire, Hemingway, André Breton … big names in music such as Debussy, Satie, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Georges Simenon …
Today la Rotonde is always well attended.
The food is traditional French cuisine.
You can enjoy classics at any time such as the onion soup for 9 €, escargots de Bourgogne for 14 €, beef ribeye steak for € 30 and for dessert, the Tatin tart for € 9.
Formule with Appetizer-Entrée-Dessert for € 39, drinks not included, dishes are € 24 and desserts are € 8.50.
Daily seafood receipts, between € 15 and € 19.50 for a plate of oysters.
