If it wasn't enough for Jules Blot to delight the rue Bichat with his demonic brunch, he's now opened a second address, right next door. Following in the footsteps of Princesse Café, this new address has also been given a title of nobility: Marquis.
No pancakes or egg sandwiches here, just well-turned-out bistronomy, to be washed down with plain skittles. For this address serves food as well asdrink - the perfect equation for an enjoyable evening. Behind this short, ever-changing menu is Jules Blot, accompanied by two companions, Julian Amar and Paul Tournboeuf.
On the small terrace or inside this miniature restaurant with its raw, minimalist codes, you'll find small plates to share between guests - the restaurant recommends four for two - ranging from affordable mayo eggs with miso and anchovies (5€) and sheep's milk tomme and pear poached in wine (9€), to more elaborate dishes - without going overboard in terms of price.
A visit to Le Marquis is guaranteed to leave you licking your lips with fried squid in ajo bianco sauce (13€), crispy whole crab on toasted brioche (16€) with a thin slice of smoked bacon (our favorite!), artichokes bathed in chimichurri and topped with bottarga (13€), or lamb rack, melted, spiced with dukkah and acoquiated with spring vegetables (18€).
No-frills cooking and a cool atmosphere for an address that's sure to become a neighborhood go-to, just like its big sister.
