Baffo
To explore some outstanding authentic Italian food in Le Marais, Baffo is the restaurant to visit. The food is cooked by Chef Fabien Zannier, who uses fresh produce that comes from Brittany and Aligre market in the adjoining Bastille district. The good thing about the restaurant is that the menu changes every few days but few favourites like black truffle risotto, mashed purple potato with Gorgonzola or Baffo’s tiramisu remain the same.

Inspired by vintage decor, the cafe has huge bookshelves of memorabilia, a set of velveteen-covered chairs and a vintage Peugeot 404.
