Is it a brasserie, a bistro, a café or a restaurant? Well, it’s something else entirely! The Bouillon Chartier embodies a singular spirit, and the history of a unique dining craft.

Waiters dressed in black rondin jackets and crisp white aprons waltz among the tables, one serving a group of tourists as they delight in sampling classic French dishes for the first time. At another table, a busy woman sips her coffee as she taps on her phone screen, while the garçon scribbles her bill on a corner of the tablecloth. In the corner a business lunch is in full swing and the wine is flowing, while opposite them a family sits down and scans the day’s menu with eager anticipation. A rendition of “Happy Birthday” rises up at the table where a retired couple of local regulars are sitting, and all the while the servers continue their dance, ebbing and flowing as the dishes keep on coming. Order up!

At Chartier,
good food is our tradition

Classic French dishes made with quality produce at affordable prices.

The Bouillon is more than just a name: it stands for traditional, simple and hearty cuisine, made possible by quality producers and artisans. Over the years, Bouillon Chartier has woven close ties with its network of suppliers, in order to offer diners a delicious yet affordable menu.

Traditional French cuisine
that’s affordable, generous and unpretentious –
oh so simple, yet oh so good.

The words we live by:
“A proper meal for a modest sum”

Starters from €1, 
main courses starting at €7, 
ice creams and desserts from €2…

A proper meal in Paris for less than €20, in good times or in bad – that’s the Bouillon Chartier commitment.

Nothing new for over 120 years: offering a good meal at a modest price!
