Austrian pastry chef Antoine Rumpelmayer opened it in 1903 under the arcades of rue de Rivoli and named it after his daughter-in-law. The Belle Époque tearoom, with landscape frescoes, mirrors and marble, was designed by architect Édouard-Jean Niermans, and Proust and Coco Chanel were regulars.
It is famous for its very thick «old-style» hot chocolate, served with whipped cream on the side, and for the Mont-Blanc, a meringue base with cream topped with strands of chestnut purée.
