What you should know about Little Café.
Little Café is best known for operating continuously in the heart of the Marais since 2006, evolving into a neighborhood institution built around daily house made cuisine, seasonally changing specials, house baked burger buns, house made desserts, and an all day restaurant and cocktail program that has welcomed locals and visitors alike for nearly two decades while preserving the spirit of the traditional Parisian café.
Fresh market vegetables, carefully selected meats, and seasonal produce shape a menu that changes throughout the year, allowing the kitchen to highlight the finest available ingredients.
