This new restaurant by Thierry Marx is sure to delight wallet-conscious gourmets. Located in Saint-Ouen, Bouillon du Coq opens on July 11, 2024. Its ambition is to offer quality cuisine at affordable prices. This is excellent news for those who want to enjoy traditional French dishes without breaking the bank. In any case, this is the first time that a Michelin-starred chef has opened a bouillon.

Born of a discussion between two friends more than 10 years ago, Chef Thierry Marx declared at the time that he wanted to open a restaurant where people could eat good food accessible to everyone. It could have happened several times in Paris, but in the end, it's in Saint-Ouen and in the place of the former Coq de la Maison Blanche restaurant owned by Alain François, which closed its doors 5 years ago, that the Bouillon abordable is settling down.

Inaugurated on July 4 in the presence of Saint-Ouen mayor Karim Bouamrane, Valérie Pécresse and executive chef Thierry Martin, the spacious 3-storey restaurant features two bars and a rooftop terrace with city views. Two bars and a rooftop terrace overlooking the city await you. Ideally located just a stone's throw from the newly refurbished Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, and just opposite the Mairie de Saint-Ouen metro exit on lines 13 and 14, we're predicting it will be very busy.

Delicious dishes at affordable prices: Thierry Marx has stated that he wants to keep prices affordable for customers. The menu features classic dishes such as mayo eggs, onion soup and poulet fermier-gratin dauphinois, without breaking the bank. The menu is set at around 15 euros.

On Instagram, the chef has already unveiled menus featuring Tomate Cœur de Bœuf, vinaigrette + Saucisse au couteau, purée de pommes de terre + Crème brûlée or oeuf mayo + cuisse de poulet rôti avec des frites et chou chantilly at €15.60!

Thierry Marx reminds us that a bouillon is basically a place where what were known as bouillons de santé (health broths) made from offal and other ingredients were sold. These restaurants catered for everyone, from the working class to the petit bourgeoisie. Today, his project is to fill this restaurant with all publics. Committed to the accessibility of gastronomy, Thierry Marx confirms his desire to preserve a Parisian tradition of affordable broths.
