Life is a party,

we devote our corporate life to reminding people of that

Editorial

In thirty years of existence, our Group has made a name for itself as the leader in the commercial restaurant trade in France and has become a force to be reckoned with, with more than 150 restaurants around the world.

Flo's brasserie restaurants, the best known of them being La Coupole, Bofinger and Le Bœuf sur le Toit, the Hippopotamus and Bistro Romain restaurants and our Petit Bofingers are the brand names of a group that has succeeded in developing a new approach to the restaurant trade and which, in spite of its size, respects the founding values dear to its creator, Jean-Paul Bucher.

Every day in each of our restaurants in France or elsewhere, our customers, from the newest to the most faithful, offer us as a reward the living proof of their pleasure at being at one of our tables.

I would like to pay tribute to the men and women in our Group who, at each sitting, prepare themselves as if for a major live show and who immediately welcome you, greet you, smile at you. There is no place for anonymity here – we really do believe that each customer is unique.

These men and women are there to carry out their wonderful task of pleasing you in the classic tradition of the innkeeper. A sense of welcome that is based as much on the quality of the dishes proposed as on the generous helpings and on their authentic, honest service.

When all the ingredients are of excellent quality, the standard of cooking is better. Shopping for our restaurants means providing quality produce for our cooks in the kitchens.

Using attractive food, good bread and wine, ripe cheese, meat from a certified origin, cooking methods, skill, a new or timeless recipe, crunchy, melting or preserved food, a mouthful of wine or a few bubbles of champagne, our cooks are able to put taste into life and recall its savour.

You will have understood that our ambition is to add a touch of emotion to the restaurant trade and to share it at all times with as many people as possible.

"Life is a party; we devote our corporate life to reminding people of that."

This site will be evolving over the months and you will be able to discover the strong points of our company, its values, its corporate culture, the demands it makes, its commercial offers, the opportunities it could offer you, and reports on its performance.

I hope you will enjoy finding out about us and look forward to your next visit to one of our restaurants, when you will be able to share a moment of pleasure with us and we will have an opportunity to concoct some wonderful memories for you.
