Bonjour, fellow explorers! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Café Marly, an iconic café located in the heart of Paris, with one of the most breathtaking views you can imagine – right next to the Louvre Pyramid. Whether you’re there for the ambiance, the food, or the people-watching, this chic spot offers an experience as luxurious as its location.
The Café Marly Experience
Café Marly is known for its blend of classic French elegance and modern sophistication. The seating on the terrace is perfect for watching the world go by while admiring the Louvre and its famous glass pyramid. Indoors, the café has an opulent feel, with beautiful architecture and stylish décor, making it an equally impressive setting for any meal or a relaxed drink.
What I Tried: Sipping in Style
During my visit, I couldn’t resist sampling a variety of drinks and dessert. I started with a Mint Tea and an Expresso, both perfectly brewed and served with a side of that quintessential Parisian charm. The highlight of my evening, though, was the cocktail selection. I tried the Expresso Martini and Mojitos, and trust me, they were as delightful as they were photogenic! The Expresso Martini was rich and velvety, with just the right balance of coffee and liqueur, while the Mojitos were refreshing and perfectly balanced, making them ideal for sipping on the terrace.
I also indulged in the delicious Pavlova Fruits Rouges. This dessert was an absolute showstopper—light, fluffy, and adorned with a medley of fresh red fruits. Its meringue base had a perfect crisp, while the cream and fruit balanced the sweetness beautifully. If you’re a dessert lover like me, this one is not to be missed, and I couldn’t help but snap a picture before diving in!
The Food
The savory dishes at Café Marly deserve just as much attention! The Croque Monsieur was the epitome of a Parisian classic—crispy, cheesy perfection—while the Marly Cheeseburger was a delightful fusion of gourmet flavors and comforting familiarity. Both dishes were prepared with care, making each bite truly satisfying.”
