Good for the tummy and the wallet! Go in advance since the space is limited.

Retrofoodism
At Le Cadoret, we adore everything! The vintage feel, the morning coffee served at the bar, the apéros with ham & cheese croissants and craft beers, the jazzy playlists composed by Louis Fleuriot, and of course the dishes made by his sister Léa, who brightens up the everyday grind in the upper Belleville neighborhood with her good home cooking, bursting with fresh herbs and contrasting flavors.

Combat, the former pseudonym for this section of Belleville, is now the standard-bearer for successful bars. Owned and run by Elena Schmitt and Margot Lecarpentier (ex-Experimental Cocktail Club), and located between a Thai restaurant and a Chinese wholesale shop, their bar isn’t lacking any (whitewashed stonewalls, a green boudoir, a tiny terrace on the downward sloping sidewalk), and the cocktails prepared by Elise Drouet, who used to work for Experimental as well, are more than just feminist creations.
Try also the coffee shop "Capitale" of the same Margot Lecarpentier (see "Food scene").

This haven of peace (Cité Leroy, Villa de l'Ermitage, Cité de l'Ermitage) has preserved a bohemian and popular spirit: small town houses, pavilions, artists' studios lined with gardens and courtyards, heterogeneous constructions full of charm.
The Villa de l'Ermitage is a green confetti, memory of a disappeared neighborhood celebrated by the photographs of Willy Ronis.
