Bofinger
Brasserie
If
the walls of Bofinger were able to write their
memoirs, the face of Paris would surely be altered.
This Parisian brasserie has often seen history
in the making. Its very location, the decor and
its atmosphere have always drawn the major personalities
of Parisian life within its walls.
In 1864, l'Alsace set up its first beer pump in
Paris. Frédéric Bofinger established a small restaurant
at 5, rue de la Bastille,
which rapidly gained a reputation for the quality
of its sauerkraut. And he served beer on tap -
unheard of in Paris. As was the glass dome ceiling
illuminating the main dining room, a masterpiece
by Néret and Royer.

Brasserie
Flo
It
may be tucked under a porchway hidden away in
a paved courtyard, but once you have found the
Brasserie Flo, you will never forget it. It was
the first brasserie to captivate Jean Paul Bucher
and even today, it still retains the flavour of
Alsace, where the beer always has a good head
and the foie gras melts in your mouth, close to
Republique.

Julien
Brasserie
When
you step through the threshold of Julien, you
enter another world, a bygone age, when women
wore hats with veils and men folding top hats.
They still adorn the hat stand. Ravishing beauties
adorn the walls and the waiters, in their black
and white apparel, dodge between the tables, close
to Les Grands Boulevards.

Le
Boeuf sur le Toit
Even
with their eyes closed, the regulars could find
their way to this restaurant with its famous black
metal sign. Elegance and discretion have always
been the watchwords of the most distinguished
of the major brasseries. At the "Boeuf" people
meet for a quick lunch at the bar or to take time
out to savor a seafood platter amongst friends
on the mezzanine.
Following many years of coasting on the right
bank of the Champs Elysée
with its founder, Louis Moysés at the helm, the
Bœuf sur le Toit finally weighed anchor at 34
rue du Colisée.

Le
Vaudeville
Lunchtime
at the Vaudeville echoes to discussion of news
and business over the dish of the day - the stock
exchange and Agence France Presse are close by.
In the evening, the conversation turns to the
theatre and entertainment, accompanied by a seafood
platter. The theatres may have closed for the
night but the last curtain to go down is at the
Vaudeville.
On the corner of the rue
Vivienne and the rue de la Bourse,
the Vaudeville was originally the bar of the theatre
of the same name which in 1852 saw the triumph
of the Dame aux Camélias by the younger Alexandre
Dumas.
The construction of the rue du Quatre Septembre
was fatal to the stage but the bar survived and
became the meeting place for brokers from the
stock exchange over the road, for coachmen and
cabmen, then for taxi drivers. The Vaudeville
is one of the few remaining great Parisian brasseries
decorated in the 1930s by the Solvet brothers,
the others being the Coupole and the Closerie
des Lilas. The year is 1926: the Art deco style
reigns: wood incrusted, warm-toned marble covering
the walls, engraved glass, flamboyant lights,
the domed ceiling, the intricate ironwork, the
moldings and furniture - Art Deco is all around.
Except on the terrace, which when the sun shines,
brings a little Vaudeville to the stock exchange.

Terminus
Nord
"Happy
birthday to you…" - the light is suddenly dimmed
and the waiters gather around the cake, complete
with birthday candles, to sing the customary refrain
to the guest of honor on his birthday. This is
a commonplace scene at the Terminus where the
patrons and the staff have always joined forces
to play out the part. "Paris Gare
du Nord, terminus !"
Travelers from London, Brussels, Amsterdam have
only to cross the road to partake of some refreshment.
With its mahogany bar, the copper and the mirrors,
its seafood and its bouillabaisse, ladies and
gentlemen, the Terminus Nord invites you to enter
Paris via the gourmet gate, the brasserie gate.
And to think that it never closes, the incessant
service never seems to stop. A mixture of art
nouveau and art deco, this great café, once the
property of the Northern Railway Company, has
always lived according to the rhythm of the railway
and the arrival of the Eurostar
has only served to heighten this link. Businessmen
on the way to the London, European parliament
members returning from Brussels, families arriving
from the country or from abroad, all paths meet
at the Terminus Nord, the most lively of all the
great brasseries.

The
Balzar Brasserie
The
Balzar has always been a place where you eat,
debate and set the world to rights. It still is
a place for professors, students, writers and
publishers, intellectuals and artists to meet
to enjoy the immutable decor and unaltered fare.
The establishment owes its origins to the fun-loving,
red-bearded Amédée Balzar, who left his native
Picardy in 1890 to serve beer on tap to the students
in the rue des Ecoles, in the Latin
Quarter, the university area of Paris.
University professors and students have always
been united at the dinner table!
On the left as you leave the Sorbonne, the tavern
became a brasserie in 1931 under the direction
of the reputed Cazes family Balzar who ran Chez
Lipp on the boulevard Saint-Germain. Marcelin
Cazes wanted the Balzar to be a second Lipp and
commissioned the same architect, M. Madeline to
design the interior. The sober wood panelling,
the vast mirrors on each wall, the moleskin banquettes,
the bistro chairs, the green and white tiling,
ceramic vases and clock - no, the art deco atmosphere
has not changed and calves' liver and Fontainebleau
cheese are still to be found on the engraved marble
menu.

La Fermette Marbeuf In 1898, it was a simple hotel dining-room. Mr Hurté, a talented young architect, and Wielhorski, the painter, produced an authentic Art Nouveau décor. Neglected and forgotten, it was re-discovered by chance during the work carried out in 1978. The Fermette Marbeuf 1900, a mere stone`s throw from the Champs-Elysées, is unique and should be added to your list of historic monuments to be admired. The greatest classics are all on offer, such as the "7-hour" lamb fondant, veal chop with morels or an émincé of beef fillet with paprika. See the menu. | |

Chez Jenny In 1930, Robert Jenny owned a stall proposing sauerkraut, sausages and beer. Noting the popularity of good quality Alsace products with the Parisians, this native of Strasbourg set about establishing himself in the capital. He took over number 39, boulevard du Temple (not far from the Place de la République), an establishment that had played host to a Russian restaurant, a Belgian restaurant and finally the Victor dance-hall. Inaugurated in 1932, the Chez Jenny brasserie has always been able to recreate the atmosphere of an Alsace `winstub`. The oysters, Presskopf, Cervelas sausages, symbolic sauerkraut and draught beers, combined with a cheerful and refreshing ambience, make Chez Jenny well worth the detour. See the menu. | |
