The sun also rises at Le Select in Montparnasse
Oh, Paris – the city of lights, love, and literary legends. On our whirlwind four-day trip, nothing topped the evening we dined at Café Select in Montparnasse, the iconic spot immortalized by Ernest Hemingway in The Sun Also Rises. I’ve been obsessed with F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hemingway since I was 17, so stepping into this historic café felt like entering a time capsule. We hopped off the bus from the Eiffel Tower, arriving 20 minutes early for our 7 p.m. reservation.
Sweating with excitement (literally – my shirt was drenched!), I nervously asked if we could sit sooner. Our waiter, the incredibly kind Mark, welcomed us warmly. He loved mixing drinks behind the counter at day’s end, experimenting with concoctions. The bar itself exudes a retro vibe, well-lit and inviting. Scanning the menu, my eyes landed on the Hemingway Sour: fresh-squeezed lemon juice, Drambuie, and bourbon.
We opted for the terrace outside, under the evening sky. The food? Divine. The girls still rave about it as the best meal ever. What struck me was how Café Select doesn’t rest on its laurels – steeped in history with ties to literary giants, it could skimp on quality, but the effort shines through. It’s a testament to the joy of good food, drinks, and company.
I posted a photo on Instagram, tagging them, and they reshared it on their page – a thrilling cap to the night. In a city bursting with history, this spot captured my heart.
