Chez Jenny
In 1930, Robert Jenny owned a stall proposing sauerkraut, sausages and beer. Noting the popularity of good quality Alsace products with the Parisians, this native of Strasbourg set about establishing himself in the capital. He took over number 39, boulevard du Temple (not far from the Place de la République), an establishment that had played host to a Russian restaurant, a Belgian restaurant and finally the Victor dance-hall. Inaugurated in 1932, the Chez Jenny brasserie has always been able to recreate the atmosphere of an Alsace `winstub`. The oysters, Presskopf, Cervelas sausages, symbolic sauerkraut and draught beers, combined with a cheerful and refreshing ambience, make Chez Jenny well worth the detour.
