Brasserie, French food, Alsatian specialites, seafood, mid-price, elegant atmosphere
Brasserie Bofinger
Sit at the front bar and have a drink whilst your table is being organised
feeding the French at all hours since 1864
We looked at the menu but didn't really need to - we came for one thing: the oysters
White linen, gleaming brass, mirrored walls and a sweeping staircase... Are they really going to let me in here?
Yes, at 11:30pm people were still ordering steak
The 1906 cupola is the centre-piece of the brasserie and remains in immaculate condition
Langoustines, huîtres et crevettes... aka a seafood platter to die for
Bofinger is famous for its décor and its Alsatian specialities, yet also for its incredibly fresh seafood
Political figure-heads, celebrities, Italian and Australian ring-ins... Yes, they all come to Bofinger to see and make poor attempts at not being seen
Ornate details are everywhere
When we arrived (sometime after 11pm) the brasserie was packed, yet still refined
The oysters were huge, plump and almost meaty - possibly the best I've had in Paris
The penguin-clad wait staff ranged from polite to affable, depending on your luck
Definitely worth getting your fingers dirty for
Ile Flottante... indeed
Le Trou Normand (pear glacé with a shot of Calvados) - just the thing after oysters
The death-stare of "you finished my drink!"
