In Paris, there are stunning new restaurants, bars, and cafes opening, every week. You could eat out morning, noon and night and still not keep up with all of the openings. But, every now and again it is nice to step back in time and eat in one of the city´s beautiful historic restaurants. There are numerous restaurants in this beautiful city that have been serving fantastic food for well over a century.
Perhaps the best-preserved, and traditional, of them all is the Bouillon Camille Chartier at 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre. Eating there is an experience that no visitor is going to forget. It has a real old-world charm and the food is wonderful too. But you wouldn’t want to arrive without some style. Afterall, you are on vacation right? It’s the best time to dress up! And don’t forget that Paris is a great destination for some fantastic fairytales!

What to Wear to the Bouillon Camille Chartier at 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre
First Things First There is No Dress Code
When you look at photos of the place, you would expect there to be some sort of dress code. In reality, there is none. You can dress as casually or as smartly as you like. So, potentially anything you see here on this fashion retailer´s website could be bought and worn for the occasion.
You really can follow your soul and wear any style of clothing. But, my advice would be to take the opportunity to dress up a bit. Aim for a smart, slightly sophisticated look and you will fit in really well with the stylish surroundings that you will be dining in.
But You Can Go for a Vintage Look
Alternatively, try out a retro look. If you have access to vintage clothing from the early 1900s this could be a good time to wear them. The restaurant opened in 1896, so you will really fit in with your surroundings by wearing this style of clothing.
Or Maybe an Ultra Smart Look
If you do not fancy that idea dressing in one of this year´s skirt suits is another great alternative. There are plenty available, so it is really easy to find something that you will feel comfortable and stylish in.
How About Something Classic
A classically cut dress paired with the right boots or shoes and a nice jacket or wrap would also work well. If you want to feel a little more glamorous opt for a full-length maxi-dress.
Perhaps a Touch of Luxury
In a place like Bullion, you can get away with wearing luxury fabrics. This year´s sequined tops are probably a bit much for this venue, but a simple bright pencil-skirt paired with a soft silk blouse would strike the right note.
Do Dress in Layers
At this time of the year, it is best to dress in layers. This is because you can never be sure what the weather is going to do. Layering gives you the chance to remove or don something extra, so you can stay warm enough.
Footwear wise boots are by far the best option. So, choose an outfit that will look good with boots. That way if you wake up to snow, freezing fog or heavy rain you will not be left frantically trying to put together an alternative outfit for your special meal out in this landmark Parisian restaurant.
