Brasserie Bofinger

We visited on one occasion and had oysters and wine which was very nice. We returned and had a steak and hubby had house specialty pork dish and it was not what you would expect from a restaurant charging such high prices. We returned to Paris and someone recommended the sole which I ordered and I wasn't given an option of how I wanted it cooked and it came up swimming in a sea of butter which congealed on the plate. For 42€ (just for the sole) it was the worst meal I've had in France and we've been there for 6 months. I definitely won't be visiting again. The locals only have oysters & shellfish in there so they are relying on the tourists.

Très belle brasserie, service impeccable, plats très bien présentés, un peu juste en quantité pour les bons mangeurs, prix un peu élevés.

On retrouve l'ambiance de bien etre et de gentillesse qui s'était un peu perdu,tout va bien avec l'acceuil la gentillesse et la qualité des plats et de la carte en général vins compris;on y passe un bon moment et bien sur le cadre est exceptionnel d'histoire et de décoration;bravo

Yes, it's a lovely old French brasserie but really, the food leaves much to be desired. Alarm bells rang when the olives offered as nibbles were probably the most tasteless olives I've ever eaten. How can you get olives wrong? White wine was then brought to the table with apologies for it not being chilled as the fridge wasn't working. Things perked up with the starters, good oysters and a tasty, if overly chilled terrine, but my main course of sauerkraut was as quotidien as it sounds. Boiled cabbage and frankfurters sums it up. On top of all this, the service was efficient to the point of brusqueness. Please, don't whip away every glass and plate the moment it's finished with. And it's not by any means a cheap meal. If I were to return, I'd go there for a drink and a snack to enjoy the deco interiors but the food? Nah.

Open late. Very convenient. Good atmosphere. Superb interior design. And, how could i forget, EXCELLENT food.
