The Grinder Group (Grinder, Makro, Boucherie Grinder) opened the new restaurant Bouillon Albert on October 7 in the former Hachoir location.
Good Food and Drinks at Affordable Prices
To meet the demand of customers who want to dine out without overspending, the concept of a bouillon proved ideal for offering a more affordable option. By focusing on simple dishes and carefully selected ingredients, costs are kept down, allowing for appetizers priced between $10 and $20, main courses between $20 and $30, and desserts under $10.
Born in Paris in the 1860s, the bouillon was designed for working-class patrons who wanted to eat well and quickly without spending too much. Bouillon Albert (named after the owner's French bulldog) offers a menu of tasty, shareable dishes at affordable prices.
French Classics with a Twist
Chefs S'Arto Chartier-Otis (Jatoba & Marcus), Jérémie Marcille (Dur à cuire), and Fernando López Jiménez (Pujol) have created a menu that revisits French classics: sole meunière, Dauphiné ravioli, Niçoise salad, garlic butter escargots, leek vinaigrette with hazelnuts, steak frites, and bone marrow with horseradish jus. The hearty, saucy dishes are perfect for dipping bread to savor every last bite.
Sommelier Jean-Alexandre Boisclair has curated a varied wine list, with both classic and funky natural options, at accessible prices, including wine by the glass ($9), quarter liter ($15), half liter ($29), and liter ($59).
