What people say

"Another delicious dinner at Bofinger. The food, service and atmosphere 10/10. We were served by Louis who was great. Just a few minutes walk from the opera Bastille. The Choucroute Bofinger was a delicious pork sausages and meat, the leg of lamb available on the weekends was already finished by post opera dining. The rum baba was excellent and the chocolate in the profiterole was incredible."
