The Novotel Paris Les Halles is welcoming the new year with the launch of its latest dining spot, Le Petit Marguerite, a bistro that celebrates the timeless classics of French cuisine. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Les Halles, this restaurant draws inspiration from traditional Parisian bistros, infused with a contemporary twist. A hidden gem worth discovering for those seeking a blend of warm conviviality and a touch of old Paris charm.

The Novotel Paris les Halles continues to transform itself, welcoming a spaciousnew restaurant in early 2025. While the space may still appear to be under construction, make no mistake: the hotel and its restaurant are well and truly open. Le Petit Marguerite is the name of this new bistro, which aims to take you back to the Bouillon years.

The décor, designed to evoke this period, combines rough wood, checkered napkins and large tables, inviting conviviality. The muted atmosphere, lit by soft lighting, recalls the timeless elegance of Parisian bistros. For the time being, the work is not yet complete and the space should open up to the outside world. And for those seeking a more intimate experience, the restaurant offers a Bulle Privée in its interior garden, a cosy space warmed by wood-burning stoves. An ideal place to prolong a meal in a comforting, home-like atmosphere.

Heading up the kitchens, Chef Marc Vachon - from a family of Halles greengrocers and inspired by his mentor Thierry Marx - revisits traditional recipes with a touch of creativity and respect for produce. His menu features generous, gourmet dishes in the image of Parisian bistros.

For the main course, we're delighted by the Risotto of Fregola Sarda with Parmesan and roasted vegetables, as well as by the Suprême de volaille, mousseline of carrots and roasted parsnips, divinely cooked and perfectly moist.
