Bofinger - Review - Bastille - Paris - The Infatuation
"Bofinger is the prototypical brasserie, with a stunning seafood menu that matches the grandeur of the space. The sprawling, 280-seat architectural marvel has soaring ceilings and a glass cupola buttressed by wooden walls depicting scenes of Alsatian village life. You might even feast beneath the image of a chortling Alsatian sipping a stein of beer in one of the pocket dining rooms. Choucroute de la mer is the house specialty for good reason: salmon, haddock, bass, and prawns are artfully arranged around a mound of sauerkraut spiked with juniper and cumin, then generously doused in a rich beurre blanc that practically begs you to lick the plate clean. Their kugelhopf and crêpes suzette, both flambéed tableside, are flamboyant finishers. photo credit: Wenkang Shan" - Emily Monaco
