A tiny Marais bistrot whose name comes from its horseshoe-shaped marble zinc; Gilles Pudlowski describes locals and visitors elbow to elbow at that counter over a tight, good espresso. Behind it sits a small wood-panelled back room with old banquettes and a 1950s telephone.

Good to know
- Do what the regulars do: stand at the horseshoe counter for 'un café'. The counter price is lower than the terrace price, and by law the three prices (comptoir, salle, terrasse) must be posted.
- The terrace on rue Vieille-du-Temple fills at the first ray of sun; the slate has plats du jour and a wine of the month.
- Closed Monday and Tuesday on current Google hours.
