Where to eat · Ethiopian · € · 17e · Batignolles & Monceau
Menelik
A long-running Ethiopian room in the back streets above the Batignolles, where the beyaynetu — an assortment of stews and pulses spread over sour injera — is meant to be torn into by hand, no cutlery. The €26 formula throws in an aperitif and a half-bottle of wine.
The €26 formula comfortably feeds two modest appetites; the injera is the utensil.

- CorettaModern French bistro€€ · 5 minBeatriz Gonzalez (ex-Senderens) cooks precise, unfussy modern French food in a room looking onto the Martin Luther King park. Worth catching at lunch before the Michelin inspectors finish the job and the prices follow.
- VinelloItalian trattoria & wine€€ · 5 minRoberto Cubeta opened this trattoria-cum-cellar late in 2024 in the old Bigarrade premises, white tablecloths under raw stone. Vitello tonnato to start, tagliatelle with wild-boar ragù to follow, and a wine wall that runs from cheap-and-honest to ruinous.
- BodrumTurkish / kebab€ · 11 minThe meat is veal breast, boned and cut and marinated in a spice blend the owners trace to a grandfather's kitchen in Turkey — no turkey filler, which is the usual giveaway. People will tell you it's the best kebab in Paris; it is at least very good.

Batignolles & Monceau — Village in the citySplit between formal Monceau in the south and the village-feel Batignolles in the north — a covered market, an organic open-air one, a big new park over the old rail yards, and a local restaurant scene.
Best for: Those wanting a residential, restaurant-rich base away from the crowds.
