Le Petit Marguerite: a friendly, serene interlude in the heart of Les Halles

Located on the patio of Novotel Paris Les Halles, Le Petit Marguerite offers traditional French cuisine in a warm, bucolic setting.

At number 8 Place Marguerite de Navarre, a stone’s throw from Châtelet, Le Petit Marguerite is a return to basics: generous cuisine, a welcoming setting and a relaxed atmosphere. Designed in the spirit of the old Parisian bouillons, the restaurant blends raw wood, checked napkins, large tables and authentic furniture to create a rustic yet modern atmosphere. It’s a place to share, laugh and eat well.

The setting plays a central role in this experience: the Jardin Privé, a veritable showcase of greenery, transforms meals into timeless moments. In summer, it becomes an ideal spot for sunny lunches or cool dinners. In winter, it is adorned with a transparent, heated Winter Bubble, to prolong the magic, even in cold weather.

Marc Vachon’s local and responsible menu

In the kitchen, chef Marc Vachon and his teams give pride of place to French produce, fromlocal farms and responsible fishing. Le Petit Marguerite’s menu is traditional without being rigid: it gives pride of place to French cuisine classics, always with a homemade touch and particular attention paid to the quality of ingredients.

When the weather’s nice, the restaurant offers a barbecue service in the Jardin Privé. One of our chefs grills meat, fish and vegetables in front of our guests, in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. A moment “just like at home” to enjoy with friends or family, in the heart of Paris.

Happy Hour and privatizations

Le Jardin Privé also welcomes groups of 8 to 20 with an exclusive Happy Hour formula, perfect for company aperitifs, anniversaries or reunions. With its plant wall, banquettes, wrought-iron tables and central location, the space lends itself to all configurations without losing intimacy.

Finally, in winter, the famous Bulle d’Hiver (Winter Bubble ) allows you to maintain year-round activity in a setting that’s always original. Transparent, luminous and heated, this space is a must for lovers of unusual places in Paris.
