Bofinger brasserie, in the Place de la Bastille, is an old Paris restaurant, Belle Epoche or more. It is of Alsatian origin--that can yield a variety of connotations over the last 150 years--but the food is reputable, the service wonderful, and the decor...well, that's what you come to see. And savor.

Nothing to look at on the outside |

Sometimes the food is so good you forget to document; here are the remains of
Vicki's strawberry gazpacho dessert; not pictured are the oysters, the foie gras,
the onion soup, the Alsatian special sausages and sauerkraut (best sauerkraut
ever), etc.; thus for the food; and the great Grimbergen bier |

We enjoyed our meals sitting under this |
|
The lower dining area |
|
Upstairs, King Gambrinus |
|
The lighting, chandeliers upstairs were outstanding |
|
Thus |
|
And thus |
|
The paintings |
|
Thus |
|
Marquetry covering the walls of the entire second floor |
|
In the bathrooms downstairs |
|
Ditto |
|
Best Art Nouveau urinals ever; so far |
