Le Marais, chef Paulo de Barros' new restaurant, in Itaim, São Paulo

Chef Paulo de Barros and partner Ida Maria Frank - who own the perennially full and successful Due Cuochi, just opened the French bistro Le Marais also in the Itaim district of São Paulo.

On the menu, everything you'd expect to find at a traditional bistro: quiches, mille-feuilles, ragouts, steak frittes, etc.
