July 1th le Bouillon Chartier will reopen its doors after major works of the tehnical parts ( kitchen, technical parts, etc).
The waiting wil be over soon. This mytical restaurant (its a historic monument) has been cleaned but will have the same décor so we can still find the real soul of Chartier.
The food will stay the same, very quick service but sometimes it’s to simple. If you order leek as a sidedish, you get a piece of leek on a plate next to your meat. To me it didn’t seem much enjoyable. But it’s told they quality did improve.
Bouillon Chartier, 7, rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 75009 Paris , tel. : +32 1 47 70 86 29 – no reservation – service from 11.30h until 22h.

For your dining pleasure, as of July 2009, the VAT – called TVA in French ,will only be 5.5 percent of your food bill. That’s down from the current 19.6%.
Do note, the lower tax does ‘not’ include alcohol. Can’t win them all.
