Brasserie Bellanger delights the 10th arrondissement

Behind this new place is above all a story, that of Charly and Victor. Both passionate about good food, they came across the cookbook of Charly's great-great aunt, Marie-Louise Bellanger.

There, they discover the secrets of the true beef Bourguignon, the beautiful history of sole meunière, the timeless Parisian croque-monsieur... In short, all the most traditional local recipes. These classics can now be found on the Brasserie Bellanger menu.

On a mission to revive the typical Parisian brasserie sector, Victor and Charly focus on French cuisine prepared with ultra-well-sourced produce from their favorite small-scale producers.

With a new menu every week, Brasserie Bellanger appeals to Parisians' taste buds with cheese and charcuterie platters ranging from €7 to €13, including green pepper-cured beef, Ibaïama ham, truffled white ham and even truffled sausage.

Prices for starters range from €2 to €7. Enough to indulge yourself and try a multitude of them! Bulots et spicy mayo (7€), céleri rémoulade (5€), frisée aux lardons (5€). For us, it's the mayo eggs (2€), the indestructible classic of Parisian bistros; Mamie Bellanger rillettes (7€), with their perfectly spiced poultry base; and snacked leeks with vinaigrette (6€), another classic spiced up here with churned butter croutons and an excellent vinaigrette.

On the main course, the menu includes grilled skirt steak (15€), beef tartare (13€), salade niçoise (15€)... All of these typically French dishes clearly caught our eye, but in the end we decided on the unmissable saucisse purée (13€), with its genuine Aveyronnaise sausage cut with a knife, its meat jus simmered for 8 hours and its purée made with churned salted butter.

And don't miss the Croque-Monsieur (10€), Brasserie Bellanger 's best-selling dish, which you can choose Madame (with egg), or with truffled ham as an option. Inside, a chiffonade of farmhouse Auvergne ham and old Comté cheese melts as much as we do in front of this gourmet dish.

For dessert, we opt for the tartelette du jour, with raspberries and redcurrants, and the Paris-Brest, praline to perfection.

If you're looking to treat yourself to some good old-fashioned French fare without breaking the bank, head for Brasserie Bellanger right now!
