Cafe des Musees

About

The Café des Musées is a historic bistro located at the corner of rue de Turenne and rue du Parc Royal in Paris’s trendy Marais district. Founded in 1924, the charming venue preserves the classic Parisian café heritage with its mosaic floor, wooden furnishings and an open‑kitchen that offers diners an intimate view of chefs at work. Specializing in traditional French cuisine with a Japanese influence, the restaurant is famous for its award‑winning Boeuf Bourguignon, voted Best Boeuf Bourguignon in Paris by Le Figaro and crowned 3T Telerama in 2019. With a two‑room layout that accommodates up to 100 guests and a mezzanine for private events, Café des Musées offers an elegant yet casual atmosphere, making it a favorite for couples, families and business meals alike. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak periods, but a table can be secured at the counter on less busy days.
