Check out this Parisian institution that has been frequented by almost every French president and prime minister of modern times.

Opened since 1864, protected by national monument association and a favoured haunt by French politicians and Parisian literary set, Bofinger has been able to keep its popularity throughout the turns of the centuries.

Adding to its charm the interior has been preserved in its original remarkable beauty, which extends from the intricate glass dome above the central dining room to the beautiful Victorian WCs in the basement. Indeed, patrons call weeks in advance in order to book a table under the glass dome. 

Unlike many renowned brasseries that have been around for over 100 years, Bofinger is not overrun by tourists but depends on its steady and loyal local following. This of course means that you are guaranteed a wonderful quality dining experience, as this famous address doesn't rely on its past but rather its present. 

All fares here are made with the freshest produce and on premises, so you can be assured the highest quality French dishes. For starters, we recommend you try the large 'Courbeyre' Burgundy snails marinated in Chablis or the scallop carpaccio dressed in lemon juice with oyster cream. Then move on to a delectable main such as calf kidneys flambéed in Cognac with fondant potatoes or the house special Le Bofinger seafood platter (½ Crab, whelks, 3 prawns, 4 cockles, 3 no. 4 Belondines, 3 no. 2 Fines de Claire, 3 no. 3 Breton Cupped). 

If U are looking for style, history, ambiance and mouthwatering cuisine, then Bofinger should be at the top of your list.
