Café Marlette Pigalle: brunch and homemade pastries on rue des Martyrs
The neighborhood café on the foodiest street in Paris
At 51 rue des Martyrs, between Pigalle and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, Marlette serves homemade brunch all day and pastries fresh out of the oven that very morning. Rue des Martyrs is one of the foodiest streets in Paris: people come for its delis and greengrocers, and stay for a coffee on the terrace.
This is where the very first Marlette café opened, in 2014. Banquettes, mirrors and shelves of organic baking mixes: the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch with friends or an afternoon treat before heading off to the neighborhood’s theaters.
