France: Place du Marche St Catherine in the Marais

Place du Marche St Catherine in the Marais district (3rd/4th A - closest Metro station is St Paul) is a beautiful little square that is surrounded by eateries. It's really pleasant in the evenings when there are buskers in the square and when there are lots of people sitting outdoors around the restaurants.


We ate at one of the restaurants/cafes facing the square on the right hand side entering from the main road. Unfortunately it's been more than a month since we were there and I can't recall the name now. But the food was pretty good. We had a foie gras with poached egg (8 Euros) as a starter.

It was lovely with the bread.

I had the moules frites for 14 Euros.

The mussels were tender, succulent and fresh.

The husband had the entrecote. Decent, but not terribly exciting.
