Have you decided to take a stroll around Belleville, Ménilmontant or Père-Lachaise and fancy a gourmet break in a local restaurant? You've come to the right place!
Far from being a postcard Paris, Belleville is known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere. The neighborhood has welcomed many waves of immigration over the centuries, from the Jewish community to the Chinese and North African communities. It's a cultural melting pot that's reflected in its restaurants! This is where you'll find Chinese ravioli, Jewish Tunisian specialties washed down with boukha, and African cuisine with a twist.
The same applies to Ménilmontant, just a stone's throw away, whether you choose to stay at the bottom of the hill or... climb the steep street that gives the neighborhood its name! With its small village atmosphere perched on the heights of Paris, Ménilmontant and its narrow cobbled streets have preserved traces of its picturesque past, with its many bars and restaurants.
Push a little further and you'll come across the Père-Lachaise district, which takes its name from the mythical cemetery of the same name, home to the tombs of the greatest historical and artistic figures of past centuries. So, have you worked up an appetite wandering around the area?
