Bofinger

Bofinger's cuisine celebrates the robust, flavorful traditions of Alsace while honoring classic French brasserie fare. The kitchen's approach emphasizes authenticity, generous portions, and quality ingredients, staying true to recipes that have satisfied diners for generations.

The restaurant's Alsatian specialties form the heart of the menu. The choucroute garnie arrives as a magnificent platter of sauerkraut accompanied by various sausages and pork preparations, embodying the hearty spirit of the region. Moules au Riesling showcase the Alsatian love for cooking with local wines, while traditional items like flammekueche (Alsatian flatbread), vol-au-vent, and kouglof demonstrate the kitchen's commitment to regional authenticity. These dishes aren't refined or modernized—they're prepared as they should be, with respect for tradition and an emphasis on satisfying, honest flavors.

Beyond Alsatian specialties, Bofinger excels in classic French brasserie preparations. The seafood selection is particularly noteworthy, featuring fresh oysters and elaborate seafood platters that showcase the day's catch. The filet de turbot au Champagne demonstrates the kitchen's ability to execute refined fish preparations, while the entrecôte béarnaise and escalope de foie gras satisfy those seeking richer, more indulgent options. Vegetarian diners will find thoughtful options on the menu, ensuring everyone can enjoy the Bofinger experience.

The dessert program maintains the same commitment to tradition and spectacle. The signature Omelette Norvégienne, flambéed tableside with Grand Marnier, provides both visual drama and delicious satisfaction. The Soufflé au Grand Marnier offers another classic finish, while the menu includes other traditional French desserts. An extensive wine list and Champagne selection provide perfect pairings for every course, with particular emphasis on Alsatian wines like Riesling that complement the regional specialties. The menu pricing remains accessible, with options starting at 19,90 EUR, making this historic institution welcoming to a wide range of diners.
