A Table at Bouillon Julien
Le Bouillon Julien invites you to discover French cuisine in a spectacular Art Nouveau setting.
Just a few minutes from Hôtel Château d’Eau, Bouillon Julien is one of those Parisian institutions where the setting is just as memorable as the food. For over a century, this historic restaurant on rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis has been celebrating traditional French cuisine in a setting straight out of the Belle Époque.
A Journey Back to 1900s Paris
Behind its façade at 16 rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis lies one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau dining rooms in Paris. Opened in 1906, Bouillon Julien has preserved its extraordinary original decor, from colourful stained-glass ceilings and floral mouldings to elegant mirrors and period furniture.
Look closely and you'll discover glass panels by Louis Trézel, inspired by the work of Alfons Mucha, alongside a spectacular mahogany bar attributed to Louis Majorelle. The soft celadon-green walls, restored to their original colour during the restaurant's 2018 renovation, complete the atmosphere.
A remarkable setting that has stood the test of time, with its dining room now officially protected as a historic monument.
The Art of the Parisian Bouillon
At Bouillon Julien, there's no need for a special occasion to enjoy a good meal. True to the tradition of Parisian bouillons, the restaurant serves simple, affordable French classics.
From eggs with mayonnaise and leeks in vinaigrette to traditional meat dishes with fries and comforting desserts, the menu celebrates the familiar flavours of French brasserie cooking.
It's the kind of place to settle in for an unplanned lunch, a lively dinner with friends or simply the pleasure of dining somewhere with a story to tell.
A Neighbourhood Institution
With its bustling dining room, waiters moving between tables and theatrical Belle Époque setting, Bouillon Julien offers a distinctly Parisian experience.
Just a few streets from Hôtel Château d’Eau, it's a lovely place to stop after exploring the neighbourhood and discover a little piece of old Paris that remains very much alive today.
