A HOT NEW HOTEL
It took the newly opened Les Bains
about a nanosecond to become the
hottest spot in the Marais. With a chic
bar, restaurant, spa, in-hotel fashion
boutique, stylish rooms, and parties
every night, you hardly need to leave
the premises. Ask for a room with a
terrace or an outdoor shower, a first in
the city.
DELICIOUS EATS
Speaking of the Marais, the wonderful
new Maison Plisson is the place to go for
a quick bite, take-home gourmet meal,
or simply to see and be seen. A gourmet
grocer on one side and a stylish café
on the other, you’ll find an excellent
handpicked selection of the best French
delicacies, from jams and chocolate
to Champagne, foie gras, and fresh
produce. The café, with its huge outdoor
terrace, serves delicious warm dishes,
cold salads, gourmet sandwiches,
natural wines and juices, and desserts,
all reasonably priced considering the
neighborhood.
Nearby, the new gastropub Rosemary
hasallthebestFrench-inflected, gourmet
British comfort food. Everything is chic
yet totally unpretentious, and the staff
is friendly and eager to please. Order a
Pimm’s classic cocktail or a hand-pulled
Siren craft brew to go with your housepickled trout or beef Wellington. Greatvalue prix-fixe menus for lunch and
dinner make this a bargain to boot.
