Why Travelers Love Bouillon République
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Just really great. There were four of us and we had to wait about 20 minutes in the evening. But it's definitely worth it, especially because the prices are top notch and the food tastes really delicious. In the photos, I photographed the menus in German, English, and French. We tried a variety of different dishes, everything was really delicious, and the service was excellent, especially considering the number of people! We particularly liked it because, unlike some other restaurants, it's not about looking great and having chic, photogenic decor, but about the food and having great conversations, which makes it feel like home. Delicious! Cozy! A bit tight, but everything is neat and comfortable! I can recommend it! We came till 6:00 PM and didn’t have to wait in line. The classic onion soup has disappeared from the menu. The dishes took a little while to be served, but everything was tasty! It was my first time trying snails — thank you! Just don’t let them seat you next to the waiters’ working station — not the nicest spot 🙌🏻 A great place to get traditional Parisian café food. I had the escargot, steak fries, creme brulee, and a half of Cote de Rhone. The flavours were wonderful, and things were cooked very well. The cut of steak I got was very tough and chewy, but everything else was perfect. I was there for a late lunch at 3pm, on a Monday. There was a 25 minute line up to get in. It took about 15 minutes before I was asked for my order, but after that things came quickly. Three courses with wine was €32.40

Vibe, prices and service are 10/10, really recommend. The food itself was nice - starters and desserts were good, not extraordinarily but good, but the main courses (we ordered beef bourguignon and steak) were not good. The beef bourguignon was dry and the steak was tasteless and hard. Overall still recommend because the price is super low and the experience is great. The line also moves real fast. Maybe just focus on the starters more.

I had the three-course meal and was genuinely impressed. Each dish was flavorful and well-prepared, with thoughtful presentation and generous portions. For the price, it’s an absolute steal—very affordable without compromising on quality. I really enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great food at a great price.
