Caffé Creole Dishes
Pushing the door of Caffé Créole means setting foot in Martinique or Guadeloupe, but at the gates of the Marais, very close to the Bastille. Here, since 2012, we have been tasting local flavors, black pudding, fish blaff, in a setting reminiscent of holidays in the West Indies, with its arranged rum bar and soul or jazzy playlist.
In the kitchen, Martinican chef Gabin Frédéric displays his talent to serve a blaff of sea bream for 18 euros, a chicken colombo for 16,50 euros or cod accras for 10 euros. Its coconut flan is a direct ticket to the Caribbean. With Francky Vincent, in the background, it's even better: go ahead Francky, it's good!
Whole sea bream grilled a la plancha, Caffé Créole
Subsidiary of La Créole on Boulevard Montparnasse – famous restaurant founded in 1955 which welcomed Joséphine Baker, Jacques Chirac and many other Parisian celebrities – Caffé Créole is more like a canteen, with a more “beach” atmosphere and evenings musicals hosted by singer Lindsy.

Thursday evenings are “dombrés parties”, with the traditional simmered flour dumpling. The maracuja arranged rum does the trick and the ti-punch is well packed. You can also leave with arranged rum at 30 euros per 1 liter bottle. Starter-main course or main course-dessert formula at €13,90.

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. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.

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.
