Balzar
The Balzar has always been a place where you eat, debate and set the world to rights. It still is a place for professors, students, writers and publishers, intellectuals and artists to meet to enjoy the immutable decor and unaltered fare.
The establishment owes its origins to the fun-loving, red-bearded Amédée Balzar, who left his native Picardy in 1890 to serve beer on tap to the students in the rue des Ecoles, in the Latin Quarter, the university area of Paris. University professors and students have always been united at the dinner table!
On the left as you leave the Sorbonne, the tavern became a brasserie in 1931 under the direction of the reputed Cazes family Balzar who ran Chez Lipp on the boulevard Saint-Germain. Marcelin Cazes wanted the Balzar to be a second Lipp and commissioned the same architect, M. Madeline to design the interior. The sober wood panelling, the vast mirrors on each wall, the moleskin banquettes, the bistro chairs, the green and white tiling, ceramic vases and clock - no, the art deco atmosphere has not changed and calves` liver and Fontainebleau cheese are still to be found on the engraved marble menu.
