Ask to be seated under the dome — it's the entire reason to come. Plateau de fruits de mer for two, then choucroute.

Le 404

Le 404

Cult institution since 1990. Tagine, pastilla, mint tea, low light, no shortcuts. The Marais's longest-running Maghreb table.

Restaurant H

L'Ami Louis

L'Ami Louis

Cult flag — included for cultural weight, not consensus. Order the chicken or the foie gras and split. Brace for the bill.
