The recipe for a good hot dog: a soft brioche bun, a good sausage and tasty accompaniments. Coming straight from the United States, this simple dish has established itself everywhere in France and the Marais is obviously no exception!

To enjoy a New York-style hot dog, it’s here! Looking like an American dinner, everything has been thought of to bring us to the other side of the Atlantic. Special mention to the warm welcome from the manager Franck, who was able to give us the best advice. The menu is complete, offering hot dogs, bagels and other classics of American gastronomy. From €5, you can enjoy a New York-style treat in the heart of the Marais. Marais Mood’s favorite.

From 5€50 and up to 6€50

US Hot Dog

This little hut is reminiscent of hot dog stands in the United States. Located on rue du Roi de Sicile, it is the best value for money. For less than €5, you choose the composition of the hot dog with a wide choice between several supplements. Its plus: it has a vegetarian option! The hot dog remains rather small, therefore ideal for small appetites.

The traditional hot dog address has been established in the heart of the Marais. At around €6, you can find gourmet and well-stocked hot dogs.

Piccola Mia, the pizzas of the Republic

On the Place de la République, a brasserie with Italian accents has just opened, which quickly made people forget the old Pizza Pino. Welcome to Piccola Mia, the fruit of the joyful encounter between Italian chef Denny Imbroisi, pizza chef Julien Serri and mixologist Matthias Giroud who creates a creative cocktail menu.

Bel Canto, an evening of singing

Bel Canto, an evening of singing

Pushing the door of Bel Canto is like entering the opera. On the upper quay of the Seine, facing Ile Saint-Louis, Bel Canto is not an ordinary restaurant. Here, we dine but above all, we come to listen to the great classics of lyrical art, performed by... the room staff!

At the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, a haute couture restaurant

Secret, or discreet, addresses are sometimes the best. This is the case of the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation café-restaurant, in the Marais, very close to the BHV. You enter through a carriage entrance which opens onto a paved courtyard. Without paying attention, we have just entered the kingdom of the brilliant fashion designer who died in 2017 at the age of 82.

Born in 1802, Victor Hugo became a social writer, a playwright, a poet, a novelist and a romantic designer. Nicknamed the man-ocean then the man-century, he is a political figure and a committed intellectual. He found success with Notre-Dame-de-Paris in 1831 and with Les Misérables in 1862.

The best tattoo parlors in Marais

The best tattoo parlors in Marais

Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
