Maurepas

The restaurant that launched a thousand restaurants, Maurepas still holds its own as the leader of the Bywater’s recent dining renaissance. The drink menu is particularly special, with ever-changing seasonal options and a degree of playfulness that illustrates both the space’s confidence in its own identity and a real, no-lip-service commitment to seasonal ingredients in their cocktails. Above all, it’s a neighborhood restaurant that lives in its own oddball Marigny world.
