Bofinger Brasserie

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
