A Belleville standout for dim sum.
Light and bright, based on pedigreed produce, the cooking at this Menilmontant is firmly of the moment (as is the exposed brick and industrial lighting of the room).
Devotees of natural wine make the pilgrimage up the hill to this Belleville institution, where Raquel Carena tends the fire, offering her own brand of bistro cooking, sometimes delicate, sometimes hearty, always heartfelt. The lunch menu at 16€ is one of the best deals in town.
An old-fashioned bistro, open every day.
Updated comfort food (conceived by Alain Senderens) is on the menu at Mama Shelter, a mod boutique hotel that could exist in any major city. Far from central Paris, the rooms are surprisingly affordable. Brunch, at 39€ a head, is less so.
