RESTAURANTS • FOUND Table
The Backstory: A companion to Gramme 3 — the cozy brunch and coffee shop in the Marais that often requires queuing to get a table in the morning — chef Marine Gora’s Gramme 11 is larger and hosts all-day dining, with both brunch and dinner as the highlights. Opened in 2022, the 11th arrondissement outpost also accepts reservations, although the terrace tables are walk-in only (and worth a wait in the summer).
The Food: Inventive and ever-evolving. During the day, the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich laden with a heap of herbs on a brioche bun is a hit, as is the crispy potato mille-feuille. In the evening, dishes get more seasonal and daring, incorporating French flourishes with global flavors. A spring standout: white asparagus hammered flat, served as dan dan noodles with a cured egg yolk.
The Vibe: Casual, cool, and buzzy, with locals filling the terrace for a drink and a snack. The drinks trend more traditional than the food, with good coffees in the daytime and a thoughtful wine list available later, but Gramme 11’s general aesthetic is young and hip, as befits the neighborhood.
Why It’s FOUND: Both iterations of Gramme feel like an in-the-know discovery, showcasing the edgier side of Parisian cuisine. And while the atmosphere is great, it’s really the slightly off-kilter (in the best way possible) food that drives return visits, whether for coffee, brunch, or dinner. –Emily Zemler
