A well-known address among lovers of traditional French cuisine, Le Petit Marguery<\/em> restaurant long held a special place in the Parisian gastronomic landscape. Located on Boulevard de Port-Royal, this historic bistro embodied a certain vision of classic Parisian dining\u2014elegant, timeless, and deeply rooted in tradition oriented and welcoming local regulars, political figures, and devoted admirers of culinary institutions alike. Behind this emblematic establishment was already Pascal Mousset, a respected Paris restaurateur<\/em>, known for his commitment to craftsmanship and culinary heritage. <\/strong>By AP<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, these <\/span>history<\/strong>-filled walls give rise to <\/span>Acte III<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, a new <\/span>chapter<\/strong> that both honors the past and boldly embraces some visible <\/span>change<\/strong>. Without denying the previous <\/span>restaurant<\/strong>\u2019s legacy, Le Petit Marguery<\/strong><\/em>, the <\/span>project<\/strong> reinterprets it through a <\/span>Mediterranean<\/strong>, <\/span>generous<\/strong>, and <\/span>contemporary<\/strong> lens. <\/span>Pascal Mousset<\/strong> joined forces with his son <\/span>Thomas Mousset<\/strong> and <\/span>Amaury Latham<\/strong>, a close <\/span>friend<\/strong> and former <\/span>classmate<\/strong>, met in the <\/span>\u00c9cole H\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Lausanne<\/strong><\/em>, to create a place dedicated to <\/span>sharing<\/strong>, <\/span>authenticity<\/strong>, and <\/span>conviviality<\/strong> (photo credits: Acte III<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n

The restaurant<\/strong>\u2019s transformation was entrusted to architect Herv\u00e9 Porte<\/strong>, who masterfully rose to the challenge<\/strong> of reshaping a sort of La<\/strong> <\/em>Belle \u00c9poque <\/em><\/strong>inspired interior<\/strong> into a bright and welcoming space<\/strong>. Preserved architectural<\/strong> features, notably through moldings<\/strong>, high ceilings<\/strong>, and wooden floors <\/strong>now blend seamlessly with mineral tones<\/strong>, natural materials<\/strong>, and soft lighting evocative of the Mediterranean South<\/strong>. Every detail<\/strong> has been carefully curated, including the handcrafted ceramic plates<\/strong>, created by a Basque artisan<\/strong>, underscoring the importance of artisanship<\/strong> and a certain attention to all kind of details<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the kitchen, Chef St\u00e9phane Hemery<\/strong> orchestrates a cuisine<\/strong>, deeply inspired by the Mediterranean coastline<\/strong>, from Provence<\/strong> to the Maghreb<\/strong>, via Italy<\/strong> and Spain<\/strong>. His seasonal, market-driven menu<\/strong> highlights vibrant flavors<\/strong> and quality ingredients<\/strong> through a colorful <\/strong>and generous <\/strong>approach. Sharing dishes<\/strong> play a central role<\/strong>, reflecting a culinary<\/strong> culture, mostly built around gathering<\/strong>, tasting<\/strong> together, and allowing time to slow down. Acte III<\/strong><\/em> thus stands as a bridge between past <\/strong>and present<\/strong>, a restaurant <\/strong>where the legacy of Le Petit Marguery<\/strong><\/em> lives on in a more sunlit <\/strong>and contemporary <\/strong>expression, while remaining true to the essence<\/strong> of the place. <\/p>\n
