Restaurant Le Bouillon Racine is an emblematic restaurant since 1906, created by the Chartier brothers.
At the beginning of the 20th century, @bouillon_racine, as we know it today, debuted. The first Bouillons appeared in 1855 thanks to a clever butcher, Pierre-Louis Duval, who proposed a unique meat dish and a broth to the workers of Les Halles. The principle was a huge success, and in 1900 there were nearly 250 Bouillons in Paris. They became the first popular restaurant chain. Some variations of the more “bourgeois” Bouillons offered a reading room or recreational activities.
At the same time, the charm of Art Nouveau spread throughout Europe in architecture, furniture, and decoration. The 1900 Paris World’s Fair, served by the Metropolitain with stations designed by Guimard, further accentuated its influence.
The complete renovation of the Bouillon Racine took place in 1996 thanks to the Compagnons du Devoir and called upon the know-how of yesteryear with gestures and techniques almost lost. Beveled mirrors, opal and painted stained glass windows, chiseled woodwork, marble mosaics, and gilded lettering with leaves make the public enjoy a place rich as much by its beauty as by its conviviality. It was then classified a Historical Monument.
