Eats: Paris 鈥� Vol. 1, Paris, France

No matter how near or far you are from home, a recommendation for a good restaurant or bar is always nice to have. EATS is a collection of places that I鈥檝e enjoyed during my travels.

We stumbled on Le Marmiton de Lutece on an especially chilly and damp December night after arriving in Paris from London. I was coming down with a cold and we just spent the last several hours outside browsing the stalls of the city鈥檚聽Christmas markets, so were in need of proper nourishment. The restaurant is located in a little pocket of the Latin Quarter between Boulevard Saint-Germain and the river from Boulevard Saint-Michel to Rue du Petit Pont. It鈥檚 a neighborhood we鈥檙e drawn to every time we visit Paris due to its proximity to our hotel and its high concentration of moderately priced restaurants and bars.

Resembling a Swiss chalet, Le Marmiton鈥檚 dim woodsy interior with mismatched lamps and d茅cor makes it feel like you are dining in someone鈥檚 cozy home. Service was laid back and not rushed, and it seems like we were among locals enjoying a casual meal with friends after work. Even though the main draw that night was a steamy pot of fondue, my desire for warm, gooey聽soupe 脿 l鈥檕ignons gratin茅e聽(French onion soup 鈥� check out my recipe聽here) outweighed the restaurant鈥檚 tempting marketing. Equally as satisfying was the聽ch猫vre chaud sur toast et salade聽(salad with goat cheese on toast) and the聽tartiflette聽(casserole with potatoes, bacon, onion and cheese), all paired with house red wine and聽mousse au chocolat聽for dessert. Our meal of rich yet simple ingredients was nothing short of amazing, making Le Marmiton worthy of a repeat visit. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
