Tucked away inside the iconic Marché des Enfants-Rouges, The Butcher of Paris has become a must-visit destination for meat lovers in search of exceptional cuts. Created by Louis-Marie Martin, a former wine merchant, this unique spot combines the craftsmanship of an artisan butcher with the spirit of a modern gourmet bistro.

From Butcher’s Counter to XXL Plates

The Butcher of Paris works exclusively with carefully selected French farmers, sourcing premium meats from producers committed to sustainable and responsible practices. Expect top-quality selections such as Salangus beef, salt-meadow lamb, Gascon black pork, and Corsican veal, all handpicked for their exceptional flavor and quality.

Every cut is prepared and elevated on-site: from aged beef tartares and charcuterie boards to XXL grilled cuts paired with seasonal vegetables. What you see on display at the counter can go straight to your plate — freshness guaranteed.

A Carnivore’s Dream, Simple and Authentic

Here, there are no starters, no frills — just pure, indulgent meat dishes:

• Knife-cut aged beef tartare served with a bold chimichurri sauce
• A hearty half-kilo pork chop, perfectly grilled and paired with roasted vegetables
• The signature croque-monsieur, layered with farmhouse white ham and 16-month-aged Comté, an unmissable highlight for first-time visitors

A Curated Selection of Natural Wines

To complement the richness of the dishes, The Butcher of Paris offers a meticulously curated wine list focused on natural and biodynamic vintages. Featuring winemakers like Jean-François Ganevat, Fabien Jouves, and Benjamin Duclaux, each pairing is carefully considered to enhance both meat and terroir in perfect harmony.
