The spirit of the place

The Parisian bistro, kept in its place

A real Parisian bistro is not a stage set: it is a counter where people greet each other, an honest menu and a room that lives from the morning coffee to the last glass. At 75 avenue du General Leclerc, Le Bouquet d'Alesia keeps that spirit alive without forcing it, in step with the avenue and its regulars.

People push the door open for an espresso at the counter, a daily special at midday, an aperitif in the late afternoon. To place the house in its neighbourhood, see also our restaurant in Alesia, on the same avenue.

What makes a bistro

Four marks of the bistro spirit

The counter, heart of the house

It all starts at the counter: the strong morning coffee, the shared glass, the news of the neighbourhood. A landmark where you are recognised, the quiet backbone of the Parisian bistro.

Home cooking, no fuss

Starters, daily specials and desserts come straight from the kitchen, prepared on site from fresh produce. The bistro classics, done simply but done well, from midday to evening.

All-day service, 7/7

The kitchen never closes between the two services. You sit down at 11am as easily as at 4pm: rare in Paris, and true to the idea of a bistro open to all, all the time.

A room that lives all day

Midday regulars, local offices, Sunday families: from a table for two to a large party, everyone finds their place in the atmosphere of a neighbourhood bistro.

On the plate

Bistro cooking, made on site

The table of a Parisian bistro does not cheat: fresh produce, homemade preparations, suppliers chosen locally when possible. The great classics sit alongside a daily special that changes with the chalkboard, from midday to evening.

The menu shifts with the seasons: what makes sense in May gives way to something else in November. Wines, by the glass and by the bottle, are chosen with the same care as the plates.

A Parisian bistro easy to reach

At 75 avenue du General Leclerc, the house sits on the axis linking Denfert-Rochereau to Porte d'Orleans. Alesia station (line 4) is a few steps away, and buses 38 and 68 run along the avenue. You can stop by whether you live in the 14th, work near Montparnasse or come up from Pernety. In fine weather, the terrace extends the bistro mood onto the pavement.

On Sundays

Brunch, the bistro way

On Sundays, the bistro switches to brunch mode: sweet and savoury spread, hot drinks, pressed juice. A relaxed format, made to take your time, that suits couples as much as families from the neighbourhood.

It has become one of Alesia's fixtures; tables go quickly, especially in fine weather. Booking is recommended.
