 Karl Lagerfeld (website pic) by Lady_Mystique
This is one of the best places to recover from your trek through the Louvre!
There is a sunny terrace where you can enjoy a drink at sunset or have an excellent meal.
Some will even say you can't get a feel for Paris without sitting at least once on the terrace of the Cafe Marly, facing Pei's beautiful glass pyramids at the Louvre...no more than 50 yards away.
The food is a touch on the expensive side but its lush red decor and amazing views make it one of the nicest place to dine in Paris.
A very dressy crowd of fashion and literary notables has staked out its turf here---you may find yourself sitting next to Karl Lagerfeld! Fans are optional! ;o)
~ Open 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily
On the terrace, under the sun have a very tasty club-sandwich (14euros) and a café (4euros).
It's expensive...but what a view!!!

 La galerie du Cafe Marly by mariev
Sure, it's a bit pricey (count some 50 Euros for a lunch with a glass of wine) but having done that you may tell everybody that you ate at Louis XIII's terrace, just some feet away from Mona Lisa...
If not exceptional, the food is good (refined and traditional french cooking) and once again, what an emplacement.
The cafe Marly beeing famous and considered 'in', reservation is recommended (either for lunch or for dinner) but you can always have a snack here inbetween (and it will be more affordable).
The cafe Marly is open from 8am to 2am 7/7.
Chose what you want, but try to be seated at the terrace facing the Pyramid (at sundown or after dark when the Pyramid is alight, it's feeric).

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week (8 AM until 2 AM). It is also a great place for a drink.
The café is in fashion, and is often populated with the fashion crowd. The decor is striking, with deep reds, gold, and teal tones. Prices are a bit high, but of course you are paying for the location as well as the food. It offers an atmosphere much more refined and calm compared to the other high-priced tourist dining traps in the area.
Café Marly is another successful creation of the very successful Costes brothers. Leave a Comment Theme: FrenchPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 93 rue Rivoli 75001Phone: 01 49 26 06 60Directions: Louvre Museum

There are waiters at Cafe Marly who are more than willing to take absolute advantage of their american customers. When the bill came after a very nice meal, our waiter asked, "Would Monsieur like to add a tip?" Most americans don't realize that the tip is ALWAYS AND COMPLETELY included in the price of the bill. The Cafe Marly waiters take advantage of that cultural difference and, as in our case, insist that the tip "is not included." Our waiter told us, "That number by the subtotal is a tax that goes to pay for Sarkozy's social programs." Our waiter then added $50 on our $110 dinner and said, "Would Monsieur like to pay this?" My husband, who wasn't as keyed into the scam was about to say "OK" when I did some quick math and said "NO WAY". He then added a slightly smaller number to the bill - the whole while explaining how the waiters depended on tips 'to survive' - and said, "Would Monsieur like to pay this?" Again, I yelled NO WAY. Finally after more arguing, haggling over the bill and Sarkozy's social programs, my husband gave up. We ended up spending an extra 15 Euros ($25) on the 'tip.' It is a sick, sad, insulting scam that these waiters are pulling. Please be aware! I will not recommend Marly simply for this reason. They allow disgusting unethical behaviour to go on in their establishment.

Cafe Marly is not your ordinary museum restaurant. It is excellent. Fois gras is great, the salads impeccably fresh and flavorful, and standards well above average. Had the croque monsier as a main, which was toothsome. Nice list of wines by the glass. Best dish: gateaux aux tomates avec chevre frais...the dense flavor culled from the tomatoes combined with the incredibly fresh goat cheese will beat anything hanging on the walls of the Louvre. I eat in the exterior tables looking out onto the throngs queuing to enter the Louvre and couldn't be more content.
Gateaux aux tomates avec chevre frais...Not to be missed! Leave a Comment Theme: FrenchPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 93 rue Rivoli 75001Phone: 01 49 26 06 60Directions: Louvre Museum

We were here after our long trip in Louvre. The service was so bad that they denied us to take the free seats with a view instead they placed us next to some smoking snob French. I ordered a club sandwich and asked if they can eliminate eggs on it but the waiter said its not possible because its already prepared which gave me the hint that the food they served was not fresh. The pasta my husband ordered was overcooked. No need to say, that everything was highly overpriced... I was disappointed with their service and the food. If you still want to go there, but not feel like eating bad and expensive food, sit down at one of the tables in front of the café on the square (they only serve drinks there) - but also be prepared...
