L'Aller Retour, French restaurant in Le Marais, Paris, France
L'Aller Retour is a French restaurant in the Marais district that specializes in meat-based dishes prepared using traditional cooking methods in an intimate setting on Rue Charles François Dupuis. The kitchen prepares classic offerings including steak tartare, foie gras, and escargot alongside carefully chosen wines from France.
The restaurant was established in an area that transformed from aristocratic residences to small commercial spaces during the 1800s. This shift shaped the neighborhood into a district of independent businesses and intimate venues, a character that remains visible in the streets today.
The name reflects the French concept of returning to a place you love, embodying the idea that good food brings people back. This philosophy shapes how the restaurant presents its cooking, rooted in time-tested techniques that feel at home in the Marais district.
The restaurant serves lunch Tuesday through Friday from midday to early afternoon, and dinner Tuesday to Saturday from evening into late night. Plan your visit around these hours, as the restaurant closes on Sunday and Monday, making advance reservations helpful during peak times.
Each meat dish arrives with a choice of house-made sauces such as pepper and blue cheese, allowing diners to customize the flavor profile of their plate. The wine program emphasizes natural selections from independent producers, offering options you would not typically find in mainstream restaurants.
