Benoit

As well as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysées, there´s something characteristic about France and those are the bistros. What are they? They´re food places in France where they serve drinks, coffee or food at a relatively low price although, as they evolved, today in Paris you can find some really expensive ones because of their history and descent.

 

One of the most famous in the French capital is, undoubtedly, the one called Benoit, which is considered by locals as one of the most important and, through time, it became a tourist spot for the history that it carries. The bistro in question was founded in 1912 and all the famous people in the history of Paris ate inside.

 

Currently, the company that owns Benoit is called Alain Ducasse Group and the design of the place was attempted to be as similar as possible like it was in the early 1900s, with an air that reminisces of the French theatres of the time.

 

Many claim that the service in Benoit is a tad arrogant, but the people who go there regularly disagree and once that you get to understand the way the place works, you´ll notice that that arrogance is simply of how attentive the waiters are.

 

The price, for it being one of the oldest, is a bit higher than most would like but, passing through its dining room is a must for all food lovers.

 

You can rent apartments in Paris and enjoy Benoit, one of the most outstanding restaurants.
