Bofinger is a gorgeous previous brasserie within the Marais that serves Alsatian dishes like choucroute and flammekueche. Lots of people have particular reminiscences tied to Bofinger, and I don’t wish to speak them out of their attachments. However Bofinger (pronounced bo-fan-zhay) isn’t a vacation spot for meals lovers.
The house is gigantic, which makes it simple to get in and not using a reservation on the final minute. However their dimension is the restaurant’s downfall. It’s laborious to flag a server down, and dishes are inclined to arrive dry and brown from far an excessive amount of time beneath a warmth lamp (both that, or completely chilly). You would enhance your odds by ordering (already chilly) oysters, however there are higher locations to get pleasure from seafood in Paris.
Apart from a 20 euro lunch menu, it’s not significantly inexpensive both. If you wish to see a reasonably previous brasserie, I’d suggest happening Sunday afternoon after they’re open repeatedly from midday to 11pm and simply ordering dessert and low. Past that, I can’t suggest Bofinger, it doesn’t matter what the New York Occasions says.

IN OTHER WORDS
The New York Occasions (2023) “The delicacies is traditional and the ambiance considerably kitschy, full with the sound of clanging silverware and large, wedding-worthy floral preparations all through the Artwork Nouveau house. Reserve forward for a desk beneath the domed stained-glass atrium, though the opposite cozy rooms throughout each flooring all function related setups, with leather-based banquettes, picket bistro chairs and white tablecloths.”
