Entering Tcup is entering a magical setting where Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter mingle, where no element of (seasonal) decoration is left to chance. Nassila created it on her return from London with the help of her mother, to bring to Paris the British attitude that she loves so much, to which they added their Potter-mania.

It is the Anglo-Saxon tea room par excellence. British specialties, American-inspired desserts and Mediterranean specialties, here we eat family-style and hearty cuisine.

So halfway between Halloween and Thanksgiving, it's impossible to miss the squash specialties. Every fall the house offers pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin cheese cake and even a pumpkin latte.

If the quantity of sugar is a little less compared to traditional recipes, we remain in the register of rich cakes, which must be accompanied by one of the flavored teas. Tcup offers a nice selection, prepared according to the rules of the art, infusion time included.

IT’S TIME TO TO TASTE !

3 Belgian addresses in the Marais

3 Belgian addresses in the Marais

Whether they are Walloons or Flemish, the French love the Belgians for their energy and their communicative good humor. Here are some Belgian addresses firmly established in the Marais.

Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame

Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame

Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.

Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo

Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.

Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May

Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May

The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
