We could not confirm Mamagoto is still operating and our research on 9 Sep 2026 points to it having shut (fairly confident). It is out of our lists until we can confirm it is open. Last confirmed open June 2026.

Mamagoto
A Japanese izakaya of small shared plates from an ex-L'Astrance chef, near Gare de l'Est.
Dinner-leaning; the assorted sashimi 'tranché' is the order. Tue–Sat.

Le Louxor
170 Boulevard de Magenta, opened 1921 — neo-Egyptian architecture inspired by Tutankhamun's then-recent discovery (the tomb was opened 1922, but Egyptomania was already in full swing). Closed 1983, abandoned for 30 years, restored and reopened 2013 with three screens. The exterior tiles are mostly original; the auditorium has the painted Egyptian frieze.
The lobby is worth seeing even without a ticket — walk in, look at the Egyptian-revival frieze and the colour-block mosaic floor. The third-floor terrace bar (open before screenings) has an unexpected view of Sacré-Cœur.
Within a few minutes' walk
- Marché couvert Saint-QuentinCovered market€ · 1 minParis's largest covered market, a glass-and-cast-iron hall wedged between the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est, with some thirty-five traders. The eating is unfussy and cheap: Moroccan tagines, Lebanese pita, Greek pastries, oysters with a glass of Muscadet.
- Chez CasimirMarket neo-bistro€€ · 5 minA market-driven neo-bistro behind Gare du Nord, named Bistrot of the Year at the 2026 Pudlo awards — pot-au-feu, Paris-Brest.
- L'Avant Comptoir du GrouinStanding tapas & wine€€ · 5 minA standing tapas-and-wine counter near Gare du Nord — some fifty small plates and a natural-leaning list (it replaced La Pointe du Grouin in early 2026).
- Hôtel EstéBoutique hotel & pool€€ · 6 minA four-star between Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord built around a nine-metre indoor pool, with hammam and sauna attached — an unusual amount of water for a hotel this size.
- St Christopher's Inn Paris - Gare du NordSocial hostel€ · 7 minTwo minutes from the Eurostar platforms, with Belushi's bar and a live-music pub directly below — convenient for an early train, less so for an early night. Privacy curtains on the bunks and two bars are the trade-off.
- Jah Jah by Le TricycleVegan Afro-Caribbean€ · 9 minA vegan Afro-Caribbean kitchen that grew out of three years selling hot dogs off a delivery tricycle. The daily bowls stack grains, legumes and sauce-slicked vegetables, flanked by cauliflower wings and the namesake hot dog.
The district · 10e
Canal Saint-Martin & Gare du Nord — Canal ParisThe locks and iron footbridges of the Canal Saint-Martin, the South Asian Passage Brady, the Faubourg Saint-Denis food strip, and two big stations. Young, mixed, and where a lot of the good cheap eating is.
Best for: Twenty-somethings and food-first travellers; lively rather than pretty.
