Rue Clément Marot isn’t just a street. It’s a connection to a family passionate about food. It’s about carrying on a name.
Augustin and Antoine Marot, cousins, took over the family restaurant here in September 2018. They sought to bring a modern touch to bistronomy. Their goal was to craft daring dishes.
The restaurant offered different spaces. There was a bar. There were private lounges. The open kitchen encouraged interaction between chefs and guests. Imagine the aromas wafting through the air.
This was a bistronomic restaurant. They focused on market-fresh seasonal produce. The wine list even ranked among France’s top 100 by Terre de vins. That is quite an achievement.
The Restaurant Clément Marot could host many. It could accommodate 60 people for a seated meal. It also worked well for cocktail parties or dances. This location in Rue Clément Marot was ready for anything.
The Restaurant Clément Marot also provided equipment. There was note-taking material. Tables, chairs, and meeting furniture were available. Presentation and storage equipment were on hand. The restaurant accommodated up to 185 people for professional events.
