At B.O.U.L.O.M, you first enter through a bakery and pâtisserie before discovering, at the back, the restaurant devised by chef Julien Duboué. The name means 'Boulangerie Où L'On Mange' — 'The Bakery Where You Eat' — and the venue genuinely embraces this journey from bread to meal.
A buffet built around the bread oven
The restaurant reimagines the all-you-can-eat buffet with an approach closely linked to the bakery. After baking, some dishes simmer in the switched-off bread ovens until service. The selection combines cold and hot preparations, savoury and sweet, with a generous spirit rather than that of a standardised buffet.
Before or after the meal
The bakery notably works with organic heritage wheats for its breads, viennoiseries and pâtisseries. This double identity distinguishes B.O.U.L.O.M: you can visit for the bakery, but the most unusual experience remains the restaurant hidden behind it, at 181 rue Ordener in Paris's 18th arrondissement.
