La Bulle

La Bulle restaurant, bistro and café is a joy to ‘riverains’ living and working in this gentrified area near Canal Saint Martin in Paris’ 10th arrondissement. Plus points are as plentiful as trendy regulars; from white frosted glass ‘bubble’ lighting set off against rustic brick walls and a dark wood floor to good music, and a small but mighty gourmet menu that takes both creativity and tradition in its stride. Chocolate addicts go ga-ga over the desserts. Service, led by Thomas and Benjamin, the dynamic duo behind La Bulle’s popularity, is friendly and fast. La Bulle also does a really good brunch.
