Le Bouillon Restaurants: The Great Classics of Bistros at Mini Prices
It's a true institution on the Parisian scene. With around fifteen restaurants scattered throughout France, Le Bouillon restaurants stand out for their Art Nouveau style from the 1900s and their menu of simple and traditional dishes at unbeatable prices. Founded in 1896 by brothers Frédéric and Camille Chartier, the group is now thriving and restaurants labeled "Bouillon" are popping up all over. It is worth noting that this is not a brand and each owner is different depending on the location.
Bordeaux: Café du Levant Embraces the Bouillon Trend
Some may not know it yet, but just like Bayonne, Bordeaux also has its own Bouillon restaurant. It is hidden in front of Saint-Jean train station, within Café Levant. The concept is the same as elsewhere, offering generous French cuisine at very affordable prices. The idea is to provide a starter, main course, and dessert for less than 20 euros in a neighborhood (though very busy) lacking good dining options.
On the menu, you will always find the famous egg mayo that was crowned world champion in 2019, the gratinated onion soup, the classic pot-au-feu, the Toulouse sausage and buttery mashed potatoes or the veal blanquette served with rice. For dessert, the majestic chocolate profiterole, rice pudding, or lemon meringue tart delight those with a sweet tooth. The prices of the dishes range from €9 to €12.30 for the most expensive.
Good, chic, and not expensive
True to its lineage, the Bouillon Saint-Jean restaurant is a hit for its menu that reconnects us with the classics of our childhood and its timeless vintage decor in the style of the 19th century. In this popular budget canteen, the waiters move at record speeds and the plates arrive at lightning speed. One of the best value for money and quality-time ratios in Bordeaux!
