La Cantine de Belleville

This is one of those restaurants whose charm lies in its unpretentious cosiness rather than its culinary refinement. The Belleville locals come here to eat heartily and drink merrily, and occasionally to listen to a concert in the back room. Anyone with an appetite will be well served by the ample menu, which offers everything from rump and sirloin steaks to blood pudding and salads – all at an affordable €10 for a main (or €15 with a starter and side). Inexpensive, good quality wines and friendly staff complete the picture.
