For many years nobody without a title or outside the most exclusive society of Faubourg St. Germain was allowed to enter the inner rooms. Its patrons included King Edward, princes, artists, statesmen, and the nobility of half a dozen countries of Europe. The restaurant’s cellar was at one time second to none in Europe.
