So imagine my glee when I stumbled upon Le Loir dans la Thieiere in the Marais.
Worn out leather club chairs are paired with antique-y wood tables. One wall is covered in art posters while across the room, there’s an Alice in Wonderland mural.
Wood floors, antiques, kind servers, and…
Pies and tarts galore!
I could have had apricot clafoutis…
… a big, chiffony slice of lemon meringue….
Chocolate crumble tart or chocolate mint millefeuille
For me, it came down the plum or nectarine tarts.
Nectarine won out.
A thick eggy custard base sandwiched between a sweet crust and sliced nectarines…
There’s nothing wrong with calling this lunch, right?
3 rue des Rosiers, 4eme

What fabulous photos! they're making me hungry - and it looks like a really comfortable homely bistro. I would have chosen the nectarine tart it looks soo delish!
Great Post!

Well, from New York might I just send a lament about the closing, a couple of years ago, of La Fortuna, a wonderfully welcoming, totally sypathetic to all visitors, cafe on the Upper West Side.
My friends and I considered this place our clubhouse.
Its space is now filled by a hardware (ironmongers) shop.
No other coffee/tea shop has risen to take on the traditions that La Fortuna held.
What a groovy little place! That nectarine tart looks so good. The nectarines have been delicious the past couple of weeks. YUM.
