| Last reviewed: May 2026 Bofinger has been pouring beer since 1864, which makes it Paris's oldest Alsatian brasserie. The room is a Belle Époque set piece, towering stained-glass dome, mirrored walls, polished wood, white-jacketed waiters who've worked the floor longer than most restaurants have existed. Two things to order: a full plateau de fruits de mer (the brasserie is famous for shellfish) and the choucroute (sauerkraut is, after all, why an Alsatian opened in Bastille). It's a tourist room, yes, and also the room every Parisian over fifty has eaten in at least once. For visitors who want one classical Paris brasserie experience near the Marais without the Saint-Germain markup, Bofinger is the answer.
Editor's Tip
Ask to be seated under the dome, it's the entire reason to come. Plateau de fruits de mer for two, then choucroute.
