Octobre 1990 c’est la date de mon premier voyage a Paris.Parmi les reves a accomplir, c’etait aller manger chez Goldenberg. Un event emouvant faire sa connaissance. Ils s’est assise a notre table avec ses deux bulldogs, que portaient un Maguen David aux colliers…Nous avons beaucoup parlee, surtout parce que nos peres et grand peres sont tous venus d Odessa…Impossible oublier son hors d’oeuvre varie, le guefilte fish et le typique liqueur avec lequelle nous faisait plaisir…
J’aimerais qu’il sache,qu’il y a une opticienne argentine, que chaque annee arrivait a Paris , pour le salon des opticiens, que non oubliera jamais les beaux momments passes chez lui.
Son chaleureux accueil et la saveur magnifique de ses plats, son dans mon coeur.
Je lui embrasse fortement.
shalom !!!

this deli which is now gone except for the tile name and the name on the awning of the an ode to the fashion industry of paris has special meaning to me. Goldenberg is my adoptive mother, Esther’a maiden name, the same as the name of the deli which stood there for fifty years as a memorial to Jo Goldenberg’s family, his parents and his sisters who were killed at Auschwitz, a place where Holocaust survivors could meet with others, the resistence fighters, and those of us who come to paris over the years to visit and pay homage to the past, not all of which is something to be proud of.
i am sorry the deli is gone but the marais stays vital, still on some streets noting that yes, it was the center of jewish paris, from the early centuries, until the present. The saying forgive but never forget is one that haunts my thoughts. I remember all of this on this day. I have just seen the movie, SARAH’S KEY. I am moved to write this for anyone who might also want to not forget.

I lived across the street from this lively place on Rue Ferdinand Duval many years ago.I have fond memories of my late Father coming to visit from the US and having dinner at Jo Goldenberg’s. Funny to remember the time I convinced the the Jo Goldenberg staff to give me the concert poster advertising a Bob Dylan and Van Morrison concert that hung in the window.Sad to see the passing of this landmark establishment…

I knew one of the Americans killed in the 1982 terrorist attack in this restaurant. She was my sister’s college roommate. She was not Jewish and it was tragic. She left a 4 year old daughter behind along with her husband. Are there any memorials to the people who lost their lives at the time?

My daughter and I were visiting Paris from the U.S.A in 2004 – she was 15. We wanted to connect with Jewish culture in Paris and came upon this wonderful place after a trip to the museum of Jewish Art & Culture and the synagogue – also in the Marais. This was absolutely the BEST day of our brief 5 day visit in Paris – though we saw and did so many things. I don’t think we met the owner Jo, but everyone was so friendly and warm and the food was outstanding – best chicken paprikash I’ve ever had (and I make a pretty decent one myself). We shared a schnapps with our waiter at the end of our meal – he was so sweet and tolerated our bad French so well. We were sorry to miss the klezmer music that was going to be happening later that night – there was a concert-sized tsimbalom set up in the restaurant…! I am very sad to hear about the restaurant, but I am glad that Jewish culture is thriving in the Marais. Merci beaucoup to all of the lovely people we met on our memorable voyage!
