Fodor's Review:

Au Lapin Agile is an authentic survivor from the 19th century, and considers itself the doyen of cabarets. Founded in 1860, it still inhabits a modest house, once a favorite subject of painter Maurice Utrillo. It became the home-away-from-home for Braque, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Picasso—who once paid for a meal with one of his paintings, then promptly exited and painted another that he named after this place. There are no topless dancers—this is a genuine French cabaret with songs, poetry, and humor in a publike setting.
