About this place
Le Marais in Asakusabashi suits a relaxed lunch as well as an evening of wine and dishes chosen one by one. At lunchtime, diners can opt for a prix fixe course with a choice of starter and main, or a course with 3 starters, a choice of main and a welcome drink. The options make it easy to tailor the meal to your appetite and plans.
Diners who have ordered the lunchtime beef cutlet have praised its tender meat and crisp coating, as well as the chilled corn soup, salad and baguette served alongside it. For a dish to take centre stage, try the risotto with Hokkaido crab and sea urchin, finished with extra crab and sea urchin. A half-size portion is also available, making it easy to pair with other dishes.
For a more substantial dinner, there is bone-in duck confit served with Tasmanian mustard. The menu describes it as crisp on the outside, moist within and satisfying to eat. Course options include 3 starters, a fish dish and a choice of meat, as well as a course featuring poached kinmedai (golden eye snapper). Choose à la carte for a meal built dish by dish, or opt for a course that sets out the progression.
The by-the-glass wine selection ranges from light, easy-drinking styles to fuller-bodied choices, and staff can offer pairing suggestions. Happy hour runs from 17 to 19, so a glass of wine could make a good start to an early dinner.
