In the 7th arrondissement, La Fontaine de Mars has long drawn its kitchen from the flavors of the South-West. This 24 cm lunch plate wears the same classic white porcelain and red embellishments that have graced its tables for decades, at the perfect scale for a leisurely Parisian lunch.
Add the matching serviette, slow down and savor: whatever lands on it will feel just a little more Parisian.
La Fontaine de Mars
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.
