Since 1908, La Fontaine de Mars has served the dishes of Southwest France a few streets from the Eiffel Tower, beneath its red-and-white striped awning, with Chef Pierre Saugrain at the helm for more than 30 years. This white porcelain tray bears the house inscription within a checkered rim, a black label on its right side and black felt beneath. An elegant ashtray, or a home for small Parisian keepsakes.
Tucked away on a charming square a few streets from the Eiffel Tower, La Fontaine de Mars is a bistro full of character that embodies traditional French cooking. Recognisable by its red-and-white checked tablecloths, this institution on rue Saint-Dominique has been delighting lovers of south-western flavours since 1908. At the helm for more than thirty years, chef Pierre Saugrain makes a point of selecting quality produce and preserving the authenticity of the recipes. Signature dishes include the house duck terrine and œufs meurette, a delicious journey through the region. On sunny days, the terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal while soaking up the Parisian charm.
