Brasserie Bofinger, French restaurant in Marais district, Paris, France
Brasserie Bofinger is a French restaurant in Paris's Marais district, spanning two stories beneath a glass dome ceiling. The interior features dark wood paneling, brass fixtures, and polished surfaces that fill the space with warm light.
The establishment was founded in 1864 by Frédéric Bofinger, an Alsatian refugee, beginning as a small beer and charcuterie bar. It grew over decades into a major dining venue while keeping its original architectural features intact.
The brasserie serves Alsatian specialties and seafood platters that diners enjoy in a 19th-century setting. Locals and visitors alike gather to experience regional cooking methods and flavors that define French dining culture.
The restaurant sits within walking distance of Bastille metro station and opens daily from midday through midnight. Advance reservations are recommended since the dining rooms fill quickly with both tourists and local diners.
The kitchen produces large quantities of traditional dishes daily, including sauerkraut plates and onion soups, despite the restaurant's size and clientele. This scale of service keeps the place humming with activity and shows how the original concept of a beer hall still drives the operation.
