Christmas 2026 at Bouillon Julien: a €42 festive menu in an Art Nouveau setting

For the Christmas Eve 2026, the Bouillon Julien offers a dinner on December 24, 2026, at €42 per person, excluding drinks. The package includes a starter, a main course and a dessert of your choice, in this brasserie in the 10th arrondissement of Paris famed for its Art Nouveau décor.

The venue sets the tone for the evening: a glass roof, mirrors, flowered mosaics, and celadon-green walls frame the restaurant’s 1906-era charm. The glass panels by Louis Trézel, inspired by Mucha, depict the four seasons. Louis Majorelle’s Cuban mahogany and pewter bar is also part of the house’s heritage. People come here to dine in this historic setting, with a curated menu and prices published in advance.

Table service lets everyone build their own plate from five starters, five mains and five desserts or cheeses. Oysters, foie gras and pumpkin open the selection, while sea bass with champagne beurre blanc, honey-glazed duck and roasted capon let you mix and match depending on your mood. The dishes aren’t served all at once: it’s truly a three-course, pick-your-own format.

The reservation requires a €30 per person deposit, to be deducted from the bill. The restaurant sets a maximum two-hour dining window and allows cancellations up to five days before the service. You can request a specific table when booking, but it cannot be guaranteed. These terms matter if you’re planning to carry on with your evening afterwards.

The same menu is also available for the lunch on December 25, 2026, with a separate reservation. For Christmas, you can also order à la carte: starters €15, main courses €23 and desserts €13.
