2 Best Restaurants in The Marais, Paris

Since its 2023 opening, the local enthusiasm for Manon Fleury’s minimalist dining room has deepened into devotion for its passionate, conscientious cuisine that not only prioritizes fruits and vegetables, but also addresses every link in the dining chain, from ethical growers and handlers to minimizing food waste. On the plate, this translates to a refined, meticulously prepared and presented experience that highlights texture and color and offers a complexity of flavors that can be subtle or bombastic, but rarely off-key. Vegetarian diners will be at home here, although fish, shellfish and meat are only enhanced by the chef’s exquisite sensitivity to what plants can bring to a dish.

Soaring ceilings with exposed beams, globe lighting, velvet chairs, and marble-top tables give this superchic eatery the look of a classic brasserie gone upscale. The menu, designed by three-star chef Mauro Colagreco of the world-renowned Mirazur restaurant on the Riviera, features market-fresh French classics complemented by a wine list with plenty of by-the-glass offerings. Best of all, a spacious cobbled outdoor courtyard makes dining here a joy on nice days.
