Food Scene

No frills comfort / blue-collar type food at fair prices, with a small but balanced selection of wines and a very friendly-yet-professional staff. It's the neighbourhood diner, Parisian style.

Serious cuisine, at reasonable prices. Insane wine collection, ranging from a few € to mortgage-level grand crus. Service : flawless, if a bit on the cold side. Go there for lunch, thank me later !

It's an "institution", as the French say. Book well ahead (up to 14 days), or go wine yourself from 8PM to catch the no-reservation 9.30PM second service. Or try your luck at Le Dauphin next door.

Look for "Family" on the sign. OK Viet food, a tad on the pricey side for that sort of eatery, but not by much. Good option for a takeaway dinner if you're not in a hurry (20' wait).

Must do. Go on an empty stomach, I beg you, then just let yourself be loved in the earnest-if-slightly-peripatetic way of timeless eating houses.

Great street food-type ravioli, grilled or in broth, for about 5€ a dozen. Must try : grilled eggplants, and sweet pepper ravioli. Take it away, and have your lunch in nearby parc de Belleville !

Well, it's Astier. One of the old school, still reliable and not quite boring "Brasseries". Go for lunch, cheaper and easier to get seated. At dinner, be lazy and take out at Jeanne A next door.

Astier's idea of street food : lunch pod cum deli cum take out eatery. Just as good (if limited), less crowded and formal than its 'real' restaurant twin.

Tiny, delicious, friends and family priced italian soul food. The only reason not to have lunch here would be that it's May, the sun is shining at last, and terraces are finally opening.

If "since 1896" isn't enough to convince you to check out this living museum of a brasserie, the prices should do the trick. Prices are fair, the cuisine is what it should be for that kind of eatery.

Fantastic vista from the terrace atop the Belleville gardens. When the restaurant limited outdoor seating gets too crowded you'll be just a flight of stairs away from picnic in the grass. The dining is nothing to write home about, but it's a great place for drinks in the afternoon and around sunset.

Essentials

The saving grace of the time-challenged everyday home-cooked meal. Quality frozen produce and ingredients, mostly raw stuffs, but readily washed and cut, plus acceptable frozen dishes as backup.

Cellar of wines, of the organic, artisanal, daring kind, ranging from 5 to 50+ €, none of them less-than-pleasantly drinkable. Sebastien will treat you in typical Parisian Breton fashion. Try it.

Not really inside the "Cour des Fabriques", but really on the 70, rue JPT, your standard micro grocery, yet with surprisingly good fresh produce.

The self-appointed "ghetto museum" blends afro culture, thrift shop, gallery and farmers market. Obviously you can also have a drink or meal there. A Parisian bobo must-see.
