Chez Marianne. Middle Eastern café located in the heart of the Marais. It may attract a lunch crowd, but dinner particularly inside was quiet. Salmon, s’il vous plait. A plateful of smoked salmon arrived unappealing. The proprietor, while kind enough to take it back looked none too happy. At least, he didn’t smile. Next, “Les Assiettes Composees.” This is a popular selection with small, medium, and large plates available. Prices range from 12 to 16 Euros; a plate for two can be shared for 26. Un petit plat, s’il vous plait. The stuffed grape leaves were divine. Tabouleh should have lots of parsley and be very fresh tasting; not at Chez Marianne. There was enough garlic on the diced tomato salad and green peppers to keep Count Dracula away. While falafel balls are one of my favorites, the cold balls didn’t tempt. I won't be back to sample them. Chez Marianne, a disappointment to be sure.
Chez Marianne, 2 rue des Hospitalieres-St Gervais [4e].
