JOA cafe canteen
For a reconversion, it’s really successful! Formerly digital manager in a communications agency dedicated to food in Paris, Anne-Charlotte Reboulot went through the mirror last January to open “Joa”, a healthy canteen on Boulevard des Filles du Calvaire, at the border of the Marais. “I have always cooked and dreamed of opening my own restaurant,” says this granddaughter of a baker and pastry chef, originally from Rennes.
Freekeh salad, roasted butternut, honey-candied Ruby carrots, Greek smoked pepper, soft-boiled egg and butternut cream
In Breton Joa simply means… joy! And it’s true that there is a positive energy emanating from this simple, no-fuss address which immediately found its audience. This is set up on the terrace on the boulevard or in the two rooms which have something of a country house, especially the one at the back, directly above good old rue Amelot (11th).

To a discreet background of pop and soul music, the enthusiastic Anne-Charlotte deploys her energy in her open kitchen while the service goes wiizz and the orders go tchibam.
In other words: the dishes arrive quickly and there is joy in the flexitarian plates (vegan, vegetarian or non-vegetarian) which give pride of place to roasted and tasty vegetables.
We like: roasted fig toast with honey and sumac, ricotta and feta whipped with lemon zest; eggplant glazed with miso and maple syrup, ricotta and mint feta; or the vegetarian bun with halloumi or salmon. All between 12 and 14€. In this place open all day, people also come for breakfast (boiled eggs, sweet or savory babkas), for brunch or even at tea time to enjoy a soft carrot cake or cheesecake. orange blossom. Good plan !

UNE LITTLE HUNGRY ?
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight.

The Enfants Rouges market, everyone loves it
Restaurants, merchants, a photo store, a bookstore... This is how the Red Children's Market presents itself, unique in its kind in the Marais and its capital because it is the only one to offer such a varied and varied range of restaurants. qualitative.
Piccola Mia, the pizzas of the Republic

Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
