- Frenchie Bar à Vins€€ · Wine bar with small platesGreg Marchand's no-reservations wine bar sits across the cobbles from his fully-booked Frenchie, doing brick-walled penance for the mothership's exclusivity.

- Pho Bida Viet Nam€ · VietnameseA two-room canteen between Olympiades and Porte d'Ivry that locals treat as a reliable phở stop.

17e · Batignolles & Monceau (10)District guide →

- Le Jourdain€€ · Neo-bistroA tight, crowded neo-bistro between the Buttes-Chaumont and Jourdain, doing a market-driven plat at lunch and turning to small seafood plates and natural wine at night.
