The Knife Rest Set

€20

Beneath the arcades of the Place des Vosges, Café Hugo holds the whole city in a single view. This set brings its beloved Dachshund mascot to the table, cast in a vintage gold finish and standing on four paws, his long, sculptural body the perfect place to rest a knife between courses.

Elegant with a playful touch, and sold as a set of two, because no dachshund likes to dine alone.

Café Hugo

Tucked beneath the centuries-old arcades of the place des Vosges, Café Hugo has been one of the Marais's best-loved addresses since 1984. Named after Victor Hugo, who lived for sixteen years a few steps away, the café keeps something of the writer's Paris: steeped in history, unhurried, quietly grand.

Open every day from 7 am to 2 am, it welcomes guests at its own pace: the first espresso, weekend brunch, dinners that run late. Its kitchen celebrates the French classics, from onion soup and croques to duck confit and a well-cooked cut of beef, with a fine list of wines and cocktails.
