"A bouillon (meaning broth in French) is a type of restaurant that was initially destined for workers with many dishes having some form of meat broth as its base. Although they have been around since the 1850s, they are today going through a revival phase, where they continue to be the best value meals you will ever have in the capital. Out of all of the bouillons, the Bouillon Chartier remains the most iconic and historic, with an inside setting that resembles a train station. Order the poireaux vinaigrette (leeks with dressing), duck confit and pain perdu (French toast) for a classic 3 course meal, all for around 20€.

"Last but for sure not least. For me this restaurant was shocking (e.g. the waiter wrote our order and receipt on the table ). First of all, don’t expect some fancy plating, it’s all about good food that you’ll receive very fast and at a low price (a main course is around 10€). You’ll get an entire French experience here, feeling like you went back in time, because the place has been preserved very well from 1896. So, please put this restaurant first on your list and thank me later."

"This is the original Bouillon-style restaurant in Paris near the Opéra. Here, you'll find all the french classics at a very affordable price. If you're looking for the typical Parisian experience, this is it. But beware, there's always a long line to get in, so go there early to avoid the long wait. Try their oeuf dur mayonnaise and the steak frites with a pichet of red wine for the true experience."
