Eataly Paris Marais

Eataly Paris is the Marais flagship of the Italian food-hall group — three floors of pasta and pizza counters, a market with the long bread and cheese walls, the bar that the Friday after-work crowd has earned. The room is not subtle but the supply chain is the most credible Italian one in the city.

Take the pasta counter at lunch, browse the market afterwards, return for the bar at 18h. The room is the right Marais answer for the unfussy lunch that needs to be done in an hour, and the kind of address that the rue de Bretagne crowd treats as the canteen.

The Marais market lunch on the rainy Saturday.
