Have your steps taken you to the Place d'Italie, the Gobelins or even the charming Butte-aux-Cailles, and are you looking for something to eat in the area? Don't move, don't move except to scroll, you've come to the right place!
The nerve center of this corner of the Left Bank, Place d'Italie lies at the crossroads of major Parisian thoroughfares. With its rather contemporary architecture, blending modern residential towers and Haussmann buildings, it serves more confidential districts such as the Gobelins area.
Taking its name from the famous Manufacture des Gobelins, founded in the 17th century and specializing in tapestries, the Gobelins district is more bourgeois in style, with its wide boulevards and elegant facades bearing witness to classic Haussmann-style Paris and its artistic and intellectual past.
Even more confidential, the Butte-aux-Cailles, located a little further south, is a veritable village in the city. It's an atypical place, in stark contrast to the rest of the 13th arrondissement , with its picturesque cobbled streets lined with low-slung houses. A former windmill hill, Butte-aux-Cailles retains its bucolic charm and bohemian street-art ambience. But this corner of Paris is also renowned for its affordable bars and friendly restaurants.
Here's a list of the best places to eat around Place d'Italie, Les Gobelins and Butte-aux-Cailles!
