Within a few minutes' walk
- 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.
- Dong HuongVietnamese€ · 4 minA big, plain Belleville canteen that has poured pho and bo-bun for 25 years. Order either; bring a group.
- La Cantine ChinoiseChinese (Wenzhou)€ · 5 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.
- Le PacifiqueCantonese / dim sum€ · 6 minA 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.
- Nonette Bánh MìVietnamese sandwich counter€ · 6 minKhanh-Ly Huynh, who won the French Masterchef, runs this banh mi counter with house-made charcuterie and bread from baker Frédéric Lalos, plus Southeast-Asian-leaning donuts worth ordering. The confit pork banh mi is the one to get.
- Hôtel La Nouvelle République & HammamDesign hotel & hammam€€ · 7 minA design three-star on a side street in the triangle between République, Oberkampf and Bastille, with a hammam in the basement and rooms tuned for quiet — a calm room in a noisy quarter.
The district · 11e
Oberkampf & Bastille — The going-out districtNo monuments to speak of, which is the point: the 11th is where Paris eats and drinks at night — natural-wine bars, neo-bistros, and the Oberkampf and Rue de Lappe nightlife. Bastille and the Marché d'Aligre edge sit inside it.
Best for: Anyone whose trip is built around dinner and a drink afterward.
