We all like to grumble that there's no good food served in the Marais but the truth is slightly more complicated and also more positive. Having lived there for the last 26 years and being out and about many hours a day, researching, giving tours, and just indulging my addiction to walking… I have reason to try many eateries. Happily I put together a short list of three local favorites for Travora.com.
Here's the lede to the story and a link so you can read the whole thing. Bon appetit!
Hip, young, and wall-to-wall with boutiques and museums, the Marais may well be Paris’ Earthly Paradise. Everyone gleefully reminds me how lucky I am to live here. But in real life I want more to eat than paradisiacal apples crafted for tourists, trendies, and the beautiful one-percent. I want real food at reasonable prices served to real people who have a stake in the neighborhood beyond the window shopping and runway shows.
That’s why locals gravitate toward authentic bistros out of harm’s way. They’re far enough from Rue des Francs-Bourgeois and the Place des Vosges—the historic, 1600s heartland of this fashion-and-partying neighborhood—to be attitude-free.
