Le Chapon Fin still exists today as does the incredible wine cellar which they do tours of! We found a little blurb about the restaurants history on the website: "Immediately after the French Revolution part of the central area of Bordeaux was rebuilt. New streets radiated out from a market square. In 1825 Messrs Chantal and Despirou opened a restaurant and wine merchant's shop at 7 Rue Montesquieu next to the Théâtre Français. "Le Chapon Fin" quickly became a popular address. . Chapon Fin was frequented by a succession of kings: Alfonso XIII of Spain one of the restaurant's most faithful customers who had his own wine cellar Manuel II of Portugal the Sultan of Morocco Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar and the Prince of Wales later Edward VII. The Chapon Fin was also a favorite with artists such as Sarah Bernhardt Yvette Guilbert and Toulouse Lautrec and politicians such as Aristide Briand who adored the lamprey in red wine and George Clemenceau."

There is a seating capacity for eight guests at a time and the table is shared by other customers. The food served consists primarily of salads such as cucumber mushroom crab beet and herring but there is also liver paté and smoked salmon."

A man named Ken Hansen originally opened it across the street in 1947. Ten years later he moved into its more famous location and began serving Scandinavian cuisine to a rich and famous clientele. His sister-in-law Teddy Hansen served as the hostess in charge of greeting and seating the beautiful people and she knew everybody. In the early seventies the Hansens sold Scandia to magazine publisher Bob Petersen he of the automotive magazines. By then the character of Sunset Boulevard was beginning to change. Other businesses in that area including the Roxy nightclub and the Rainbow Bar and Grill attracted a younger rowdier crowd. Every night police were busting drug dealers within yards of Scandia and it did a lot to drive Scandia’s older wealthy clientele to other newer eateries. The place finally closed in 1989." oldrestaurants website unknown books
