Founded in 1864 near the Bastille, Brasserie Bofinger is famous for its opulent Belle Époque decor, including a magnificent stained-glass dome, polished woodwork, and detailed brass accents that create a grand, historic ambiance. It is often described as “the most beautiful brasserie in Paris.”

Bofinger also sets itself apart with a focus on Alsatian cuisine. Signature dishes include choucroute garnie (sauerkraut with meats), oysters, and foie gras, which adds a regional twist to the traditional brasserie menu. Mains range from €25-€60.
