"Le Marais was founded by a pair of Frenchmen — Jose de Meirelles and Philippe Lajaunie — who believed a successful French restaurant with no cheese and no pork, and one that would be viable even when closed on Fridays and Saturdays, was a possibility. And they were right. They reconfigured prime steaks as necessary to avoid prohibited cuts, added duck rillettes, steak tartare, and chicken paillard to the menu — et Voila!" - Eater Staff
