In Boulogne-Billancourt, Brasserie Philippe brings Charles Boixel and Robin Fayet together around bistro cooking, carefully crafted sauces and a seasonal menu. It’s their second restaurant, following Café César in Clichy.

In Boulogne-Billancourt, Brasserie Philippe carries on Charles Boixel’s work with the French bistro. After Café César in Clichy, the chef is reunited with his partner Robin Fayet for a restaurant where brasserie classics meet seasonings from farther afield.

A bistro menu that plays with sauces

The autumn menu pairs veal and pork pâté en croûte with foie gras and pistachios alongside sardine deviled eggs. The velvety potimarron squash soup comes with seared foie gras and chestnuts, while the crisp mushroom tart combines a slow-cooked egg and mimolette cheese.

This dual perspective is reflected in the dishes: beef chuck braised in red wine with a traditional garnish is paired with cod served in a tom yum broth, with sesame wakame and vinegared rice. The scallops come with butternut squash, gnocchi and satay butter. A plant-based option rounds out the menu: cabbage stuffed with butternut squash and celery, with a mushroom emulsion.

For dessert, the restaurant keeps several classics on the menu: tarte Tatin, a warm cookie, and a vanilla and hazelnut praline mille-feuille. The Mont-Blanc is paired with pear and blackcurrant. A regularly updated specials board rounds out the lunch menu.

Bookshelves, banquettes and an open kitchen

Claire Bourgeois Linglart’s decor draws on the classic brasserie style: bistro chairs, banquettes, dark wood and large light-colored curtains. A library lines the veranda, while the open kitchen puts the brigade’s work on display. Several spaces flow into one another, from a lounge area near the bar to a more secluded room that can accommodate group meals.

With this second location, Charles Boixel stays true to the French bistro while broadening the menu’s range. A restaurant to consider for familiar recipes or spicier combinations, depending on what you’re in the mood for.
