Where to eat · Cantonese / dim sum · € · 19e · La Villette & Buttes-Chaumont
Le Pacifique
A Cantonese hold-out on rue de Belleville, open since 1983 and built for long tables, steamer baskets and rotisserie meats. The dim sum is the cheap pleasure — order several baskets and the bill stays low — and the kitchen runs past midnight.
Continuous service until 1:30am makes it the late dumpling option in the quarter. Order dim sum à la carte to keep it cheap.

Within a few minutes' walk
- La Cantine ChinoiseChinese (Wenzhou)€ · 1 minTwo decades of Wenzhou cooking at the bottom of Belleville, run by Chef Lin and his son: hand-folded ravioli, beef noodle soup, baozi from the bakery counter. The plates land around six or seven euros, which is most of the appeal.
- Lao SiamThai / Lao€€ · 2 minA Belleville institution since 1985, founded by a Thai-Lao family and still cooking from the long menu that made its name: green papaya with pickled crab, crisp rice squares in coconut-shrimp-pork sauce, whole fish steamed in banana leaf. The décor is plain; the kitchen is not.
- Rue DénoyezStreet-art lane€ · 3 minA short Belleville lane repainted continuously for years — walls, shutters and shopfronts layered in spray paint, with someone usually at work on the next piece. The live, changeable half rather than a preserved set.
- CombatCocktail bar€€ · 4 minA bright, women-led Belleville cocktail bar — inventive but unfussy drinks, windows that fold open over the sloping pavement in summer. A local's room, not a set-piece.
- Le CadoretNeo-bistro & all-day caf退 · 4 minA Belleville corner café by day, a serious kitchen by night — revived in 2024–25 under chef Alice Neman, with a great-value chalkboard lunch.
- The Loft Boutique HostelBoutique hostel€ · 4 minA 29-room hostel up the hill on Rue Julien Lacroix, in the thick of Belleville's bars and Chinese-Tunisian restaurants. Air-conditioned rooms, a shared kitchen, and a furnished terrace with a bar for the climb home.
