Derrière is a restaurants restaurant in the Array arrondissement of Paris.

Derrière is a playful, design-led restaurant in the 3rd arrondissement, at 69 Rue des Gravilliers in the upper Marais. Hidden behind a carriage entrance, it is styled like a quirky private apartment — mismatched furniture, a ping-pong table, sofas and a motorbike in the hall — serving homemade French cooking in a relaxed, “at home” atmosphere.

What to expect at Derrière

The kitchen keeps it classic and comforting, with a regularly changing menu of homemade French dishes built on fresh, seasonal produce. The real draw is the offbeat setting: you can play table tennis between courses, sink into a couch or linger after dessert as if you were at a friend’s place. It is fun and atmospheric rather than fine dining — a favourite for a relaxed dinner, a Sunday brunch or drinks with a difference.
