Lunch for 8 euros in the Marais, it's possible! In the heart of Paris, very close to the Saint Paul metro station, is one of the most affordable restaurants in Ile-de-France: La collective parisienne. As its name suggests: it is a solidarity café, that is to say an associative, non-profit establishment, organized to be a place of life, meetings, conviviality and creativity.

The prices of the dishes, tasty and balanced, defy all competition. The starter-main course-dessert formula is €12 while the starter-main course or main course-dessert option is €10. The dish alone costs €8. Drink side: natural wine, meuh-cola (a Norman coke), apple juice.
The menu is unique. On the day of our visit, it was: carrot cream, chicken randang (a Melanesian dish) accompanied by rice and ginger-poached bananas. A vegetarian dish was also offered: roasted vegetables and rice.

The chef, Claude-Rivel Sondé, who is the founder of the restaurant, has worked at the Troisième café, “le 104” and the Jacquemart-André museum. Multi-talented, he is also a painter and works in experimental cinema. He has the support of a few volunteers, including Cyril, the treasurer, who is also a business manager.
From January, La collective parisienne will implement the principle of “suspended coffee” and “suspended meal”: in addition to your meal, you pay for another for a future customer who cannot afford it. . The Parisian collective plays collective!
It is the third establishment of its kind in the Marais, along with Notre café , located in the courtyard of the Minimes barracks, and the Troisième café , adjoining the Marché des Enfants-Rouges.
