A new gourmet bistronomic design restaurant in the Haut Marais run seamlessly by Sandrine, previously the owner of Colimaçon and the source behind its modern yet elegant décor in muted tones of beige, grey, and black. Comfortable chairs, tablecloths, lights, and tableware are all perfectly in harmony. She and her team, including her sommelier Stéphane, offer you more than 50 prestigious wines to choose from starting at incredibly reasonable prices and the dishes are as beautiful as they are delicious. The wine in fact is also an integral part of its stunning look by actually being a decorative element. Book it fast as there are only 30 tables and don’t miss their killer chocolate desserts including the sinful chocolate fondant with real vanilla ice cream and salted butter caramel sauce.
Du lundi au vendredi 11h - 1h

Place des Vosges was formerly known as Royal Square. And La Place Royale is a fitting name for this wonderful restaurant on the south side of the square, just near the Victor Hugo museum. And you’ll have a royal experience, indeed. While maintaining the French grand tradition of cuisine, its southern French cooking is constantly inventive. And fine quality is matched by low prices. The lunch menu is 18 euros and the generous dinner menu includes an aperitif, starter, main dish, dessert and ½ bottle of red or white wine per person, followed by a cup of coffee. All this is under forty euros. With impeccable service and a warm welcome La Place Royale is our top choice for 2010. Try the vegetable tatin, the prawn brochettes and the gourmet coffee with homemade ice cream. The terrace on the loveliest square in Paris is extra added plus. Come quick, but don’t forget to reserve! Arnaud Lessatini and Frédéric Paquet, the two creators, welcome you as friends.
DES GARS DANS LA CUISINE … Bistronomique, gourmaniaque, delifantastic!

Dinner is approximately 50€ per person: more than reasonable taking into account the quality of the products.

At lunchtime, the fixed- price menu appetiser/main course or main course/dessert is 14€. Generous Brunch on Sunday at 21,50 € and 24 € for the organic version. High-class wines at reasonable prices.

Tel: 01.42.74.40.15 WOUAHHH! This is what you’ll say when they bring you the first dish – it looks like a work of art. Foie gras mousse served on a black tile, bœuf Bourguignon thats looks like chocolate cake, salmon and meat together, chocolate and pistachio delirium…every single meal is a scrumptious experiment. The food is delicious, the staff is wonderful, the decor is great… and it’s only 29€ for 3 courses. If you are served a line of red powder with a straw, don’t be alarmed – it’s not the French version of cocaine but tomato powder to sip... creative and funny! Monjul has just opened and while you don’t need reservations now, we’re certain that you will soon.
