11/06/2026: Two consecutive visits allow me to say that the wine selection is vast yet refined, with Dimitri demonstrating a fairly precise knowledge of the particularities of each bottle. He truly masters his subject, like a master sommelier without the bourgeois decorum, but with the added bonus of sharing his knowledge! The food, for its part, is excellent. The two meals I had there allowed me to sample Italian-inspired dishes (bagnacauda, an anchovy purée/cream with vegetables; saor de jols, smelts with gently lemony onions—perhaps it was more of a mild vinegar—and a truly delicious tuna belly marmitako) or dishes closer to home, such as the stuffed chicken neck or the famous "signature" bone marrow tartare. Add to that generous portions, meticulous preparation, a pleasant setting, relaxed yet professional and friendly service, and top-quality, artisanal liqueurs/wines/brandies (from what I tasted, Sicilian Zibibo wine, Calvados blended from several "old stuff" vintages...). Then there are desserts bordering on the gargantuan, a vintage atmosphere that isn't pretentious, and a working-class political awareness... in short, the ideal place for a stopover. Timeless, exotic, and of such high quality that I haven't seen anything like it in ages. Ciao Dimitri and Nathalie, and to the kitchen team, you're the best!!! Max and his father thank you most warmly and fraternally!!
23/05/2026: I recently dined at "Chez Marius" and was truly impressed by this chic little restaurant.
The two waiters/waitresses were very friendly and welcoming and explained the menu in detail.
The menu is truly exceptional. I would have loved to order five dishes, as everything sounded delicious, yet nothing was standard fare. I had the focaccia with escargots and wasn't disappointed.
As far as I understand, the menu changes regularly.
For dessert, I highly recommend the "Brioche Perdue."
I also have nothing but praise for the ambiance. The restaurant isn't large, but it's very cozy. I found it perfect, especially for a romantic evening for two. You only notice the details in the wall decorations after a while, but they are very well done.
When I'm back in Paris, I'll gladly return and try some of their other creations.
Thank you for the wonderful meal and the lovely evening.
