You only have to climb two steps to feel out of the world. Perched very slightly above the rue Vieille du Temple since 2008, Guys in the Kitchen provides this pleasant impression of floating above the Earth.
Seated on Dutch school chairs in this restaurant which practices quiet bistronomy, we spend a good time tasting the “guys” hamburger (with its black buns; €22) or the sea bass (€26) while watching passers-by pass by through the window who don't have time to ogle your plate.
We are in the heart of the Marais, in Paris, on its busiest route, and yet removed from the world.

In the kitchen, there are… guys, of course! They are active under the direction of Gil Rosinha. He, who formerly ran a restaurant in San Francisco, mixes his Portuguese family influences with his very French menu, which evolves over the year and the seasons, although with a few immutable points of reference, such as Pavlova, for dessert.
Another constant is the “Sunday lunch” formula at 24,50 euros.

In this trendy bubble, we also appreciate the warm and intimate design decor by Richard Marioton-Jones. The place is perfect for a tête-à-tête. The room is always decorated with a sublime bouquet of flowers from Muse (a little further up the street). Which is explained: floral art is the other passion of the place's co-founder Jean-Jacques Delaval who, in another life, was a horticulturist. In short, in the kitchen, the guys deliver. And indoors too.

UNE LITTLE HUNGRY ?
Quick lunch at Titi Palacio
On the second floor of this youth hotel (a hostel) is an indoor tavern which is reminiscent of the Mama Shelter in Lisbon. Except that here, we are in Paris and at the Titi Palacio, a hostel concept with dormitories and single rooms and a restaurant with a veranda…
Oysters and fish: P'tit Mousse knows his job
Why bother going to Wepler or La Coupole, when there is P'tit Mousse? Both an oyster bar and a fish restaurant, this address on Rue Rambuteau advantageously replaces the Parisian brasseries on Place Clichy and Boulevard Montparnasse.
Breton house, Brittany rue de Rivoli
A stone's throw from the Saint-Paul metro station and a stone's throw from the BHV, a little piece of Brittany has just been established. At the helm of this new ship, chef France. Originally from Finistère, she has been making crepes for over 20 years, so after experiencing the takeaway kiosk – Food Breizh on the banks of the Seine…

From September 13 to 15, 2024, Le Marais celebrates the 10th anniversary of its cultural festival “Les Traversées du Marais”.

Heritage Days 2024: the secrets of the Marais
Le Marais, an architectural showcase of historic Paris, is preparing to reveal its hidden treasures during the 2024 Heritage Days. This district, once a marshland that became a stronghold of the nobility in the XNUMXth century, is home to an exceptional density of private mansions and historic buildings, silent witnesses to the splendor of yesteryear.
Private cruise on the Seine: a perfect moment
Like the Olympic athletes at the opening ceremony, Le Marais Mood embarked on a cruise on the Seine. But for a private cruise, in a small group (six passengers), with champagne on tap. This is what Green River Cruises offers for 450 euros for a one and a half hour cruise.
