Les Marches is a restaurants restaurant in the Array arrondissement of Paris.
Les Marches is a charming, old-fashioned bistro in the 16th arrondissement, at 5 Rue de la Manutention, a short walk from the Palais de Tokyo and the Seine. One of just a handful of “Les Routiers” truck-stop-style restaurants left in the capital, it serves honest, traditional French cooking in a wonderfully preserved retro setting.
What to expect at Les Marches
The menu is a roll-call of French bistro classics, prepared simply and generously in the true tradition. The room feels almost like a museum piece — timeless tiling, checkered tablecloths and old-fashioned menus, with the red-and-blue Routiers logo still on the wall. It is an unpretentious, good-value find in an upscale neighbourhood better known for its museums, and a handy stop before or after a visit to the Palais de Tokyo.
