The 3 star Michelin bistrot in a jar

2016

Crème caramel with fudge, Christophe Michalak

A family affair, between brothers It all began with the desire of the brothers Ferniot to create a new eating experience that could match their own high standards of quality and price. Both of them are passionate about cuisine and nutrition. Thirty years of a common dream have now been realised through BOCO. The brothers were immersed from birth in a world of fine food, given their parentage. Their father, Jean Ferniot was a writer, journalist and above all, a celebrated gourmet in France who brought them up with a love of fine food and gastronomy. Until BOCO, Vincent as a famous TV gourmet, Simon as a serial entrepreneur schooled at Disney and Vivendi Universal. During all that time, they held on to their father’s watch-word: «  I’ll only eat the good stuff ».

The story of the Ferniot brothers

3 star Michelin fast food •  Our recipes are the creation of t of the most renowned chefs in France, all

with three stars to their name. The richness of their dishes, their fine judgement and professional standards when it comes to food, allow us to propose a standard of quality accessible to the masses.

A proper meal served in no time - for just 15€ •  High-quality food served, eat-in or take-out, in a Parisian-style bistrot. The

average price of a two course meal with a drink comes in at only £12. And it is ready in a matter of minutes.

As transparent as the glass itself •  We choose to serve our dishes in traditional ‘Kilner style’ preserving jars.

In French these are called ‘bocaux’, hence our name BOCO. These ‘bocaux’ evoke for us our grandmothers’ cooking and are the ideal container to retain the flavour and integrity of our recipes. What is more, they are totally recyclable.

The boco concept

If it cannot be eaten (such as cutlery, consumables or collateral) then it is environmentally friendly, re-usable or recyclable. Self service, a quick and simple way to choose your dishes As soon as they walk in, the customers have chill cabinets before them. The ‘boco are arranged classically - starters, main courses, sides, cheese, dessert and drinks. Each person picks out their selection of dishes, places them in their basket, settles up at the till and then chooses whether to take away or eat in. Order out – Delivery Service Since June 2015, it is possible to order in advance through the web. Then all you need to do is to come and pick up your meal or choose your delivery option
