Le Dôme Café ((:lə dom)) or Café du Dôme is a restaurant in Montparnasse, Paris. From the beginning of the 1900s, it was renowned as an intellectual gathering place. It was widely known as "the Anglo-American café." Opening in 1898, it was the first such café in Montparnasse. It "created and disseminated gossip, and provided message exchanges and an 'over the table' market that dealt in artistic and literary futures."〔(Mark King, "Memories of Paris" ), Artist Mark King Website〕 It was frequented by the famous (and soon to be famous) painters, sculptors, writers, poets, models, art connoisseurs and dealers. Le Dôme later became the gathering place of the American literary colony and became a focal point for artists residing in Paris's Left Bank. A poor artist used to be able to get a ''Saucisse de Toulouse'' (sausage) and a plate of mashed potatoes for $1. Today, it is a top fish restaurant (the ''Michelin Guide'' gives it one star), with a comfortably old-fashioned decor. The food writer Patricia Wells said, "I could dine at Le Dôme once a week, feasting on platters of briny oysters and their incomparable sole meunière."〔( "At Home with Patricia Wells" ), Patricia Wells website〕 == Address == 108 bd.
