This neighborhood bistro is a little more than a bistro. Behind the initiative are two renowned culinary talents: Noémie, the driving force behind the 18th arrondissement's Jules Jo restaurant, and Thibault, who once held the Pizzou Lille flag high. These two gastronomic maestros have joined forces to create Botza, a delicious blend of traditional brasserie and French-style pizza.

Lovers of Parisian decor will feel right at home in this undeniably charming place. The typical brasserie atmosphere, with its modern touches, promises warm moments, enhanced by a selection of wines from winegrowers and the sparkle of Brussels Beer Project craft beers. And for those whose heart wavers between wine and cocktails, don't worry: from mojito to pina colada, all the must-haves are on hand, ready to accompany your delicious plates.

What's on the menu? A veritable ode to gourmet delights. From comforting breakfasts to tasty dinners, every dish is designed to delight the most demanding palates. The marrow bone in a drip, the burger with its homemade minced meat, or the irresistible crème brûlée are all promises of deliciousness.

But Botza isn't just for carnivores. Vegetarians will also find something to their liking with a variety of creative dishes, such as vegetarian croque-monsieur or tagliatelle with truffled mushroom cream. Each dish tells a story, each recipe an invitation to travel.

And for pizza lovers, the pizza counter by Pizzou is a revelation. Traditional Italian recipes are revisited with 100% French products, for a surprising and delectable result. Each pizza is a hymn to deliciousness, lovingly baked in an oven brought back from Italy.

Botza is more than a restaurant. It's a place where friends and family gather to share a good time, whether over a drink, a pizza or even... a game of pétanque! That's right, this bistro offers the opportunity to enjoy the Buttes Chaumont petanque courts, adding a playful touch to your experience.

So, whether you're a regular in Parisian bistros or simply looking for a new place to discover, the Botza bistro awaits you, on the terrace or at the counter. A culinary escapade that blends tradition and modernity, in a setting that exudes Parisian joie de vivre. Shall we reserve a table, folks?
