The story of Marxito begins in the streets of Tokyo. Thierry Marx discovers there a fascinating machine, able to make these famous doriyaki, thick pancakes filled with red bean paste. He immediately sees it as a playground for new culinary creations. The Marxito was born.

A buckwheat pancake, filled with handpicked ingredients and available in savory and sweet, in a Franco-Japanese spirit, that's the basic premise. Then come the recipes imagined by Thierry Marx, 80% vegetable: “Marinated eggplant, scarmozza, piquilhos sauce”, “Guacamole, red onions, roasted sesame, ginger tofu sauce”, “Smoked salmon, avocado, Japanese radish, miso parsley sauce ”,“ Pastrami, candied onions, Korean mustard, lettuce, cheddar ”…

Foamy cream (plain, matcha, chocolate ...) or artisanal jam (blueberry, raspberry and sudashi or pomelo, orange, and yuzu) garnish the sweet Marxito.

Special care in the choice of ingredients

Faithful to his ethics of researching healthy products, promoting the promotion of craftsmanship and peasant production, Thierry Marx has selected with the greatest care the suppliers of Marxito.

The base, buckwheat flour comes from the Moulin de la Fatigue, installed in Brittany since 1870 and perpetuating the tradition of the flint stone mill. Wheat flour is produced by the Moulin Bourgeois, a family business located 80 km from Paris. Creamer products (farm butter, milk, organic eggs, etc.) come from Cotentin and the Chevreuse valley. The fruits and vegetables are grown by small producers in Eure et Loire and the jam is provided by the Corsican artisanal factory Anatra.

The icing on the Marxito, the ice creams are the work of Emmanuel Ryon (Meilleur Ouvrier de France Glacier and World Pastry Champion 1999) who even designed an exclusive recipe based on Buckwheat and Tonka Bean.

Lover of Japanese minimalist aesthetics, original and avant-garde designer (he is at the origin of projects as diverse as the Mamo at the Cité Radieuse in Marseille or the offices of the media center of LVMH) Ora-Ïto signs the layout interior of Marxito.

And because in terms of gastronomy everything is played around the table, he created an endless table, all in curvature, descending from the ceiling before transforming into a plane around which the guests sit.

A living place where you can eat all day, take a break or check your emails between two meetings, Marxito o ers a soft and warm atmosphere, enhanced by light colors and natural materials.

A responsible approach

A common value shared by Thierry Marx and Ora-Ïto, everything in Marxito is part of a committed approach, like the choice made to favor small local producers or to recruit the team in the Thierry Marx school promoting reintegration, Kitchen Instructions for Use. This same careful approach led to the creation of recipes reintroducing plants (80%) in the sandwich ... A great way to renew the genre of street food.
