Travel: A Few Best Eats In Le Marais, Paris

Bonjour! And happy Sunday! I think Sundays are the perfect day to kick back and read a travel post so here we go. Having lived and worked in Le Marais in Paris for two years, I know the area like the back of my hand. When I left to move to Barcelona a month ago, I had quite a backlog of travel tips for Paris so welcome to my mini guide to the best eats in Le Marais. 

Bonjour et bon dimanche! Je trouve que le dimanche est le jour parfait pour lire des post de voyages alors voici! J'ai habité et travaillé pendant deux ans dans Le Marais dans Paris, du coup je connais le quartier très très bien. Quand j'ai quitté Paris pour déménager à Barcelone il y a un mois, j'avais toujours plein de conseils de voyages pour Paris que je n'avais pas encore publié alors bienvenue à ma petite guide à la meilleur bouffe dans Le Marais.

LE PICK CLOPS
16 RUE VIEILLE DU TEMPLE, 75004 PARIS

I would probably describe PICK CLOPS as my favourite cafe/bar in Paris. I have been going here religiously ever since I discovered it right at the beginning of my year abroad back in 2010. Situated on the corner of probably my favourite street in Paris, rue Vieille du Temple, its small terrace taking up most of the narrow pavement is just charming for people watching, sipping on wine or getting stuck into a scrummy bagel. For 12€ you get a bagel, cream cheese, your choice of filling (smoked salmon, grilled vegetables or bacon) and delicious fried potatoes. It's very filling and served throughout the day. They also have a dish of the day, quiche and cheap sandwiches for 4€. Apart from the food and wine, I just love the decor of Pick Clops - a very cool, indie bar mixed with an American diner vibe. 

Je pense que je dirais que PICK CLOPS est mon café/bar préféré dans Paris. Depuis mon année Erasmus en 2010 quand je l'ai découvert , j'y vais religieusement. Il se situe sur le coin de ma rue préférée dans Paris, rue Vieille du Temple, et son petit terrasse qui prend la plupart du petit trottoir est juste charmant pour regarder des gens qui passent, prendre un coup ou manger un bagel délicieux. Vous payez 12€ pour un plat énorme d'un bagel, du cream cheese, une farce de votre choix (saumon fumé, légumes grillés ou bacon) et des pommes de terre sautés. Il y a aussi un plat du jour, de la quiche et des sandwiches pas chers à 4€. A part de la bouffe et du vin, je kiffe la décor de Pick Clops - c'est une bar cool et indie avec une vibe d'un diner américain.

CHEZ HANNA
54 RUE DES ROSIERS, 75004 PARIS


CHEZ HANNA does without a doubt the best falafel I have ever had. Most of the Paris guide books will tell you to go to L'As du Falafel, which is also on rue des Rosiers and always has a massive queue outside, but as a big fan of chickpea based foods (their hummus is pretty damn good too), trust me and go to Chez Hanna. I always get their falafel pitta sandwich to take away because it is so darn cheap (just 5.50€) and it's the way to do it - if you walk around any of the surrounding streets you are bound to see someone walking along struggling to simultaneously eat an overflowing falafel sandwich. I recommend you take a seat on a bench or in the nearby Jardin des Rosiers-Joseph Migneret just off rue des Rosiers. Alternatively, you can eat in for a decent price too and other than falafel, they offer a variety of Middle Eastern dishes.

CHEZ HANNA fait le meilleur falafel que je n'ai jamais goûté, sans doute. La plupart des guides de Paris vous dira aller à L'As du Falafel, qui se situe aussi sur la rue des Rosiers et a toujours un queue longue, mais comme un fan des pois-chiches (leur houmous n'est pas mal aussi), ayez confiance en moi et allez à Chez Hanna. Je prends toujours le pitta avec falafel à emporter parce qu'il n'est qu'à 5,50€ et c'est comme ça qu'on mange du falafel. Dans les rues autour de la rue des Rosiers, il y a toujours des gens qui essayent de manger ce sandwich plein à craquer au même temps qu'essayant de marcher. Je vous conseille de vous reposer sur un banc ou dans le Jardin des Rosiers-Joseph Migneret qui est proche. Sinon, vous pouvez manger sur place pour pas trop cher non-plus et il y a une bonne variété de la bouffe du Moyen-Orient à part du falafel.

MERCI USED BOOK CAFE
111 BOULEVARD BEAUMARCHAIS, 75003 PARIS

Located in the upper end of Le Marais, I used to walk past MERCI almost daily as it was just around the corner from my apartment. Merci consists of two cafes with a large concept store in the middle selling great Danish home wear and clothes. The used book cafe has a lovely, library-like ambiance with one long wall covered in shelves filled with books in all languages that you can flip through to your heart's desire. I always choose their eggs and soldiers for 8€, which is just yummy, but they also have bagels and cakes. Merci's sister restaurant is just down boulevard - check out my RESTAURANT REVIEW OF GRAZIE for delicious pizzas and cocktails.

MERCI se situe dans l'haut Marais et je le passais presque chaque jour parce qu'il se situe près de mon ancien appartement. Merci consiste de deux cafés plus un grand "concept store" au milieu qui vend des choses pour la maison et des vêtements danois. Le Used Book Cafe a une ambiance mignon comme une petite bibliothèque avec un mur couvert des livres que vous êtes bienvenus à lire. Je choisi toujours les oeufs mollets pour 8€, qui est miam, mais il y a aussi des bagels et des gâteaux. Pour le soir, regardez mon article RESTAURANT REVIEW OF GRAZIE - un pizzeria avec des cocktails délicieux dans la même chaine de Merci.
