A delightful little bistro just around the corner from our lodgings in Paris off Rue Etienne…read moreMarcel. Actually a "deli" with a restaurant area, and fun sidewalk seating. We had foie gras (their specialty) very delicious, escargot, smoked salmon salad, french onion soup, and plenty of baguette. Helpful servers speak English well, they were quite patient and friendly. All the food we had was eye-opening, in both taste and presentation. We arrived 30 minutes before the kitchen closed, with several groups in front of us, but they kept us apprised of the situation and prepared a place for us outside as soon as it was available. We placed our order and the food arrived quickly; in the meantime several more diners came by and were seated for wine and desserts. It was fun for people-watching at such a late hour as many groups and couples were still out and about. While waiting to be seated, we had a chance to peruse the deli area with many varied terrines and foie gras, pickles, smoked salmon, caviar and wines. I wish I was more knowledgeable
about their products, but I was amazed that my French from high school and college (40 years ago!) held up as well as it did!
