Cinq Mars is a bistro found on a quiet street near Saint Germain. You’ll likely be charmed by the gray exterio0r and counter, as well as the wooden tables that give it something of a rustic feel, while still maintaining a sense of class.
The literal translation of the name would mean either “The Fifth of March” or “Five Tuesdays”?! It may seem mysterious, but it actually originates from a small village called Cinq Mars le Pil from Touraine, an area famous for its old castles.
During our visit we tried the home-made foie gras and lentil salad for an appetizer, and had the tuna steak and grilled lamb as our entrée.

The entire menu gave the feeling that the simple food they served was made from fresh ingredients and put together with real care. Meanwhile, the relaxing environment will give you a warm feeling, like you are being treated to the home-cooking of someone's grandmother.
Coincidentally, very near the corner of the street the shop is on, Rue de Verneuille, and Rue des Saints Peres stands the house Serge Gainsbourg once lived in. The wall is completely covered in graffiti these days, but if you’re a fan it’s a great excuse to stretch your legs after the meal.
