Beans from Barcelona-based roaster, Nomad, are the base of that perfect café latte at Cortado on Rue Charlot. A bustle of activity from open to close, the Marais folk gather on this dinky street to sip and natter – and knit come a Tuesday evening. Pastry chef, and former Beaux-Arts student, Zoé Souchar is on the sweet treats but come the afternoon and the tapas rolls in; don't miss a taste of its iconic pan con tomate. 

An open-kitchen vendor in the famous Marché des Enfants rouge, Les enfants du marché offers casual dining re-imagined. We love the stools-only, silverware-in-buckets, blackboard-menu vibe when it is accompanied by insanely delicious food. With a menu that changes seasonly and a no-menu wine list, this place is hip and fresh every time. 

Meat, meat, meat. That is the premise of this butcher shop turned eatery. The Butcher of Paris is the perfect spot for a charcuterie board and a glass of wine. 

The Mao Dumpling Bar is where Chinese traditions meet Parisian cool. This offbeat eatery serves delectable dumplings & drinks in a vibrant atmosphere blending hip-hop vibes and kitschy charm. It's a neighbourhood gem that feels like home!
