Brasserie Bofinger, Historical brasserie in Marais district, Paris, France
Brasserie Bofinger is a two-story dining space united by a large glass dome ceiling that floads light into the interior. The rooms feature ornate wood paneling, carved details, and ceramic sculptures placed throughout the space.
The establishment was founded in 1864 by Frédéric Bofinger, who came from Colmar and brought Alsatian traditions to Paris. In 1870, it became the first Parisian brasserie to introduce draft beer, transforming how people dined in the city.
The brasserie maintains Alsatian culinary traditions through its menu, with sauerkraut dishes and regional beers that have been central to its identity. Visitors can taste the regional food culture that has been served here for generations.
The brasserie sits near Bastille metro station and is easy to reach on foot from nearby attractions. It operates throughout the day with extended hours on weekends, making it convenient for various meal times.
The dining rooms feature stained glass windows depicting Gambrinus, the legendary King of Beer, created by master artisans. These hand-crafted glass works by G. Neret and E. Royer add an unexpected artistic touch to the space.
