Why go
Le 404 is a practical Marais choice when atmosphere, central location, and flexible lunch-or-dinner planning matter more than awards or a chef-led tasting format. Book it for a social meal in the 3rd; compare with Le Mazenay or Datsha if the group wants a clearer food-first brief.
About Le 404
Le 404 is a Paris venue with lunch and dinner hours throughout the week. Practical details include: service is listed at midday and in the evening daily, with a smart casual dress code. Use it as a practical Paris option when the schedule works for your plans, rather than for awards, chef credentials, cuisine, pricing, or a set menu.
Details like a street address, neighborhood, price range, chef attribution, house dishes, or published accolades are not available, and should be checked directly with the venue before booking. The clearest planning signal is the opening pattern: Monday to Friday from 12–2:30 PM and 7:30–11:30 PM, and Saturday to Sunday from 12–4 PM and 7:30–11:30 PM.
Book around the hours, rather than a tasting-menu brief
Le 404 is easiest to evaluate on logistics. It lists lunch and dinner service every day, with a longer lunch window on Saturday and Sunday. That makes it useful for Paris plans that need either a midday or evening reservation, provided the venue confirms availability.
The tradeoff is that it does not provide a price range, chef attribution, awards list, cuisine description, or named house dish to use as a quality guarantee. That does not rule it out; it simply means the booking should be judged on practical details and your own current checks. For a broader scan of the city, use our full Paris restaurants guide, then cross-check other options before committing.
Who should choose it
Choose Le 404 if its Paris location, daily lunch-and-dinner schedule, and smart casual dress code fit the plan. It is less useful for diners who need information on cuisine, pricing, chef background, tasting-menu format, or signature dishes before booking. If you are comparing options, you can also look at Le Mazenay or Datsha.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Le 404 occupies a compact, lantern-lit room that foregrounds North African visual grammar rather than theatrical pastiche. Carved wooden screens, low-hanging lanterns and textiles soften the space and absorb sound, while exposed stone walls and low archways anchor the dining room in its pre-Haussmann Marais setting. The architecture and furnishings give the restaurant an intimate, warm character: the interior reads as a considered, lived-in composition where setting and cuisine are in ongoing dialogue. Overall the place feels like a quietly sophisticated corner of the Marais that privileges atmosphere as much as cooking.
Best For
Situated on Rue des Gravilliers in the 3rd arrondissement, Le 404 is positioned for diners who want a more composed, design-forward encounter with North African cooking. The house leans into intimacy and a higher register of dining, so it naturally suits small gatherings, celebratory meals and weekend brunches noted in its profile. The room draws a mixed crowd of residents and visitors who come for atmosphere as much as food; its compact, lantern-lit interior makes it a good choice for focused social dinners where the setting is part of the experience.
Ordering Tips
The menu emphasizes Maghrebi classics presented with attention to the dining room’s composed sensibility. Signature dishes to watch for are listed as Couscous Berbère, Tagine de poulet and Méchoui d'agneau — each is highlighted as emblematic of the restaurant’s approach to North African cooking. Given the restaurant’s focus on a thoughtful interior and a composed version of the cuisine, let the kitchen’s signature offerings guide your choices if you want a representative tasting of what Le 404 is claiming to do.

Try Le Mazenay if the group wants clearer value and a defined farm-to-table angle. Try Datsha if the occasion calls for a more contemporary Paris dinner rather than a room-led Marais choice.
Restaurant context
How Le 404 compares in Paris
Le 404 is the easier, atmosphere-first choice in this set: useful for a Marais dinner when the group wants a central room and a lower-stress plan. Le Mazenay gives a clearer value signal because its farm-to-table format and €€ tier are explicit, so choose it when budget clarity and food sourcing matter more than the room. Derrière is the better cross-shop for diners prioritizing a more playful Paris room over a conventional meal plan.
Datsha is the smarter alternative for a more contemporary-feeling dinner, especially if the group wants the meal itself to carry more of the occasion. L'INAPERÇU works as a nearby comparison when availability or timing is the deciding factor, but without a clear price or format signal here, Le 404 remains easier to justify for ambience-led plans.
If the group wants something more casual, Qasti Shawarma Grill is the practical downshift: less of a sit-down occasion, more of a quick, focused meal. Pick Le 404 for a longer night out; pick Qasti Shawarma Grill when speed and simplicity matter.
