This iconic brasserie has restored all its allure. Founded in 1864, it has retained its smart period features. The show is still staged in the dining-room with the ballet of maîtres d’s and waiters who demonstrate their virtuosity when preparing a sole or flambant a Crêpe Suzette ! And while the superb oyster counter delights fans of seafood, sauerkraut always wins first place on the podium, accompanied by great classics of Alsatian gastronomy. Brasserie Bofinger, 5-7 rue de la Bastille, Paris 4 (01 42 72 87 82).
