A must of Marais' restaurants.
In the Marais since 1981, and always at top, the Gai Moulin had to move few steps for a larger place. The historical place became "Au P'tit Canaillou".
The french cuisine three courses menu is not so expensive and of average quality. More than gastronomy, it's the friendly and funny ambiance that patrons enjoy here. Christophe Moulin, the boss, puts all his heart to cheer up and to make communicate the guests, helped by the nearness of tables.
Every Tuesday, the underground level become a small cabaret with a piano where you can show your skill. And maybe the boss will help you with one or two songs.
Since the beginning of 2008, the restaurant is open all day and you can eat at any time.

Around 11 pm, Christophe, the owner, sings his original and joking compositions about gay life. (in french, of course). Mandatory booking.
