普罗可布咖啡馆

普罗可布咖啡馆（Café Procope）位于巴黎第六区的老喜剧院街（rue de l'Ancienne Comédie），被称为巴黎最古老的连续开业的餐馆^[1]。

它在1686年开业^[2]，由意大利西西里人Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli开设，得名于东罗马历史学家普罗科匹厄斯，他的《秘史》讲述了查士丁尼一世、他的狄奥多拉皇后和他的宫廷的丑闻^[3]。

普罗可布咖啡馆在1988〜1989年按照18世纪风格重新装修，采用了红色的墙壁、水晶吊灯、著名人物18世纪的椭圆形肖像，服务员身着大革命时期的制服。

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.
