Eataly Paris Marais: Italian gastronomy in the spotlight

Right next door to the Hotel 9Confidentiel in the Marais district, Eataly is much more than an Italian restaurant: it's a veritable universe dedicated to the very best of Italian gastronomy. The concept is to enable visitors to taste, buy or even learn to cook Italian products. The 2,600-square-meter space is divided into several areas dedicated to these different activities, and has been delighting new visitors every day since it opened in 2019. A Mecca of Italian gastronomy, a must-see.

An atypical, innovative restaurant concept

Since Oscar Farinetti created the Eataly brand in 2002, it has been a resounding success, and this innovative restaurant concept has continued to flourish in the four corners of Italy and Europe, before expanding worldwide, with a total of 39 Eataly restaurants today. Eataly Paris Marais was the first complex to open in Paris and France, replacing the former BHV canteen. Its blue storefront, strewn with wicker baskets and designed by Scottish artist Martin Boyce, gives visitors a foretaste of the refined, warm atmosphere that characterizes the interior.

The Italian “Food Court” in the Marais

Organized as a veritable restaurant complex, Eataly Paris Marais offers only authentic products from carefully selected local Italian suppliers. Flavors, colors and smells transport visitors to the heart of pure Italian culture... Among the areas to discover:

• 9 market counters, organized like a real Italian “piazza” (bakery, cheese shop, grocery store, butcher's shop, on-site mozzarella stands, etc.);
• 7 sales and catering outlets, from aperitivo to gourmet restaurant (Il Café, La Gelateria, La Piazza, Pasta e Pizza, etc.);
• A cooking school, to learn how to make fresh pasta, pizzas cooked a la plancha, risottos and lasagne, as well as to cultivate your knowledge of Italian wines;
• A wine cellar with over 1,200 labels, ranging from 6 to 320 euros a bottle.
