    My go-to brazzerie in Paris. Everything on the menu is exceptional. Can be noisy and frenetic

    I made a reservation with open table but they arrogantly said that they use OpenTable. Zero for the way they talk. Zero!!! Never more

    We made this reservation for our wedding anniversary and when we arrived at the restaurant they could not find our reservation. When I showed the maître D’ my phone with the confirmation he laughed at me and said “oh, open table, haha!” He literally laughed and scoffed at me for using Open Table. We got a table but it was not the greatest table (upstairs) and our service was not very good at all. So disappointed to have spent our 17 year anniversary here! Why have your restaurant on Open Table if you don’t bother paying attention to the reservations? The food was pretty good but I’ve had so much better service at so many other Parisian restaurants I won’t go back to Bofinger.

    45 min waiting for the waitress to take the order! At the end asking for an extra tip! Worst experience in Paris!

    Bofinger does not accept OpenTable reservations. They did not have my reservation when I arrived, but were able to find me a table.

    The male host who greeted us on arrival Fri July 8 said that the restaurant didn’t recognize Open Table and that whatever reservation I made was “fake” (he said “open table was fake”), he was very rude even after I showed him the booking on the app!!! Yet we still got a table and the service from the waiters was great; and even my OT app showed the reservation was completed. So just bringing to your attention the bad host, please be aware (otherwise this is still a great restaurant to eat at during a visit to Paris).

    Stick with the sauerkraut dishes. For a famous Paris restaurant, the food and service were marginal. My husband did not receive what he ordered and the replacement onion tart was served cold. Our waiter did make it up to us with profiteroles on the house. Beautiful restaurant; not sure we will go back.

    Unfortunately, they had problems with OpenTable Reservation. You need to confirm by phone before to be sure you will get a table!

    This was my 5th visit to Bofinger when I visit Paris. Unfortunately, this time the service and food were not as good. It made me sad. It was my favorite restaurant in Paris.
