Late on Tuesday, an RATP bus crashed into the façade of Bouillon du Coq, the iconic Saint-Ouen restaurant launched in July 2024 by Michelin-starred chef Thierry Marx. Located in the heart of the town, on the corner of boulevard Jean-Jaurès and rue du Docteur-Bauer, the front of the restaurant was damaged, but no one was seriously injured. It took just one day for the restaurant to be back in service on Wednesday evening.

Chef Thierry Marx opened a new restaurant called Bouillon du Coq in Saint-Ouen this year. Located on a busy crossroads in the town, the restaurant's facade was damaged on Tuesday evening, according to Le Parisien.

The Paris fire department reports that the accident caused only two minor injuries, qualified as "relative emergencies", with no need for hospital transport. According to witnesses, the bus driver tried to avoid a scooter, which caused a fishtail. The maneuver caused the vehicle to crash into one of the restaurant's windows, arousing the curiosity of local residents, who gathered to photograph the scene.

At the time of the incident, a Bouillon du Coq manager was quick to reassure us that there would be no major consequences: "More fear than harm". However, the facade will require major repairs, and a security perimeter has been set up with metal fencing until the damage is repaired.

Le Bouillon du Coq, an address now popular with local residents and employees thanks to its proximity to the new stop on line 14 of the Paris metro and its affordable prices, has been attracting regular customers since it opened. The restaurant has taken over from the iconic Coq de la Maison-Blanche, which closed in 2018, and offers affordable cuisine by Thierry Marx.

The team didn't waste any time, as the restaurant announced its reopening at 8pm on the networks this Wednesday, December 18. The restaurant will open tomorrow, as usual, from 12pm to 11pm.

So don't worry about the Christmas and New Year vac ations . If you're still looking for a spot to celebrate New Year's Eve, the place offers a special menu at €68.
