普羅可布咖啡廳

普羅可布咖啡館（Café Procope）位於巴黎第六區的老喜劇院街（rue de l'Ancienne Comédie），被稱為巴黎最古老的連續開業的餐館^[1]。

歷史

它在1686年開業^[2]，由意大利西西里人Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli開設，得名於東羅馬歷史學家普羅科匹厄斯，他的《秘史》講述了查士丁尼一世、他的狄奧多拉皇后和他的宮廷的醜聞^[3]。

普羅可布咖啡館在1988〜1989年按照18世紀風格重新裝修，採用了紅色的牆壁、水晶吊燈、著名人物18世紀的橢圓形肖像，服務員身着大革命時期的制服。

Whether or not the Procopio was an addition to his name, his son, naturalised as Michel Procope-Couteau (1684–1753), was a doctor of medicine, a Freemason by 1727, a writer, wit and bon vivant who became a librarian at the Faculty of Medicine late in life.
