Little Red Door
60 Rue Charlot, opened 2012 — one of the first wave of Paris speakeasies, now one of the world's most-awarded cocktail bars (top 10 globally most years). Drinks are conceptual and themed annually; the menu is a picture-book that changes every year.
There's no actual little red door — the entrance is the regular wooden door at no. 60. Reservations recommended weekends. Order from the printed picture-book; the bartenders will explain each drink. Cash or card.
- Markets of Parisstop 1 of 6 · 260 m
Marché des Enfants Rouges
39 Rue de Bretagne, founded 1615 — the oldest covered market in Paris. Named for the red-clothed orphans of a nearby 16th-century orphanage. Now equal parts produce and prepared-food stalls; the Moroccan and Italian counters at lunch are excellent.
Closed Mondays. Lunch is the move — three or four prepared-food counters serve actual meals at communal tables in the back. The Moroccan tagine counter is the local favourite; arrive at noon to beat the queue. Closes 14:30.
- Rainy Day Parisstop 3 of 6 · 260 m
Marché des Enfants Rouges
39 Rue de Bretagne, founded 1615 — the oldest covered market in Paris. The covered hall has prepared-food counters with communal tables: Moroccan tagines, Italian pasta, Lebanese mezze. A reliable rainy-lunch.
Closed Mondays. Lunch is the move — counters serve until 14:30. The Moroccan tagine counter is the local favourite; arrive at noon to beat the queue.
- Upper Maraisstop 2 of 6 · 260 m
Marché des Enfants Rouges
39 Rue de Bretagne, founded 1615 — the oldest covered market in Paris. Equal parts produce and prepared-food stalls. The market exists today because in 1912 the city wanted to demolish it; locals successfully petitioned the heritage office and it was saved.
Closed Mondays. Lunch counters until 14:30; the Moroccan tagine and Italian deli are the standouts. For a takeaway pastry, look for the Lebanese counter in the south-east corner.
Within a few minutes' walk
- The Cambridge Public HouseCocktail bar / pub€€€ · 1 minAn English-pub format crossed with serious mixology — ranked among the World's 50 Best Bars in 2025 — with craft beer, natural wine and British bar snacks behind a traditional pub front.
- CandelariaSpeakeasy bar€€ · 3 minOrder a taco at the counter of a narrow taquería, then push through the unmarked white door at the back into the room that opened the city's speakeasy era in 2011. The cocktails stay precise and agave-led.
- Le Repaire de CartoucheClassic bistro / game€€ · 4 minRodolphe Paquin has cooked here since 1997 and the room still runs on terrines, game and the kind of pâté en croûte that takes a day to build. The €20 lunch is the way in; in autumn the chalkboard turns to hare and venison.
- Chez Alain Miam MiamGalette-sandwich counter€ · 4 minAlain Roussel griddles buckwheat galettes and toasted sandwiches to order — cured ham, comté, avocado, caramelised onions — a few steps from the Marché des Enfants Rouges. The queue at his counter is reliably the longest on the street.
- Little Red DoorCocktail bar€€€ · 5 minA fixture on the World's 50 Best list, it builds each menu around one argument — the current one ties every drink to agriculture and sustainability. The name's red door is a feint; there is no trick, just the bar.
- Breizh Café (Le Marais)Crêperie€€ · 5 minBuckwheat galettes done seriously — a complète or a seafood galette, a bowl of artisanal cider, then salted-butter-caramel to finish.
