West & North

4 F4

Rose Bakery daytime distraction
46 rue des Martyrs, 9ème • 01 42 82 12 80
Open during the day Tue-Sun
This café is dedicated to typically British products
(from baked beans to sausages), many of them
organic. Quiches, soups and snack-sized pizzas satisfy
the lunch crowd, but the big draw is the childhood-
fantasy cakes, from tangy lemon tarts to sticky toffee
pudding. The decor is as simple as the food. Cheap

4 F5

Velly down-to-earth bistro
52 rue Lamartine, 9ème • 01 48 78 60 05
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri
Just off the old-fashioned rue des Martyrs, Velly is the
kind of bistro everyone hopes to find in Paris. In a no-
frills setting, the real star is the food, prepared with
seasonal ingredients and attention to presentation.
Regulars love the oeuf cocotte with foie gras, and meaty
mains like onglet de veau with salsify fritters. Moderate

6 E5

Chez Dom funky West African
34 rue Sambre et Meuse, 10ème • 01 42 01 59 80
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri, dinner only Sat & Sun
Typical of the quartier , Chez Dom serves authentic
Senegalese food. Flower-printed tablecloths set the
cheerful tone, and a glass of potent ti ponch arrives
even before you've asked for it. Boldly spiced meat
and fish stews will have you licking the plate, but try to
save room for the “sexy chocolate” dessert. Moderate

11 A1

Martel trendy French-Algerian
3 rue Martel, 10ème • 01 47 70 67 56
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri, dinner only Sat
The latest haunt of couscous-loving fashionistas is this
bistro in the interesting and up-and-coming 10th.
Among the most popular dishes are the “lovers' arti-
choke” a spiky treat to be shared, and lamb tagine with
almonds, prunes and apricots, but it's hard for the
food to compete with the glamorous crowd. Moderate
