Bouillon Chartier Montparnasse
About
Bouillon Chartier Montparnasse is a quintessential Parisian bouillon that marries historic charm with affordable, hearty French fare. Housed in a charming Art Nouveau building at 59 Boulevard du Montparnasse, the restaurant was originally established in 1906 as part of the Chartier chain and was revived under its original name in 2019 after a period as a brasserie. Guests can savor traditional dishes such as bouillon (a hearty soup), crusty bread, and classic meat platters, all prepared quickly and served at wallet‑friendly prices—reflecting the bouillon’s long‑standing reputation for quality meals at modest costs. The interior—adorned with carved wood, mirrored ceilings, and painted glass—offers an authentic early‑20th‑century dining experience, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists seeking a taste of classic Parisian gastronomy in a historic setting.
