The French capital experienced a boom in these establishments in the 19th century. After being on the verge of extinction, they have recently made a comeback, thanks to their traditional food and affordable prices
This is a very distorted article. I live in Paris and most restaurants offer 3 cours meals for under 20EUR contrary to what the article claims. Bouillon Chartier is only a place for affordable food for Parisian when squinting very hard but rather a highly touristy place with a particular business model. Without going into detail about it, it’s strange to take such an outlier focused on foreigners as the centerpoint of an article about “inflation ridden Paris”. Other nice initiatives should have been in this article.
I’m curious about the path this has taken. Why would El Pais even write about this? Maybe their readers are more attracted by the generic doomsday message about inflation than about Bouillon Chartier. Interesting how an article that initially reads like (and maybe was thought to be) advertisement takes such a turn. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about how the press works.
