La Mascotte
old Montmartre
52 rue des Abbesses, 18ème • 01 46 06 28 15
Open lunch & dinner daily
At this old-fashioned neighbourhood institution, diners
can choose from the extensive seafood selection or
satisfy serious hunger pangs with the good-value 26€
menu. This might include a salad of green beans and
endive, chicken with potato purée, and an almond
cake with Berthillon ice cream. Moderate
Café Noir
eccentric surprise
15 rue St-Blaise, 20ème • 01 40 09 75 80 •
Q
Porte de Bagnolet
Open dinner only daily
A thriving bar scene has put this
quartier
on the map, but if it's a
good meal you're seeking here, this quirky bistro is the place to go.
Located on a pedestrianized street, the restaurant's terrace tables
are irresistible in summer; inside you can admire the coffee pot
and hat collections while tucking into unusual dishes such as
tandoori prawns with chicken livers. Moderate

Benisti
North African pit-stop
108 boulevard de Belleville, 20ème • no phone
Open lunch & dinner Tue-Sun
Jewish, Arab and Chinese communities comfortably co-
exist in Belleville, as a walk down the main boulevard
will testify. One of the most popular places to stop and
refuel is this Tunisian snack and pastry shop, where
you can order a gargantuan grilled-meat sandwich or
sip mint tea with a plate of sticky pastries. Cheap
12 E3
Astier
fashionably shabby chic
44 rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, 11ème • 01 43 57 16 35
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri
Resolutely old-fashioned, Astier is as much loved for
its worn decor and overrun tables as for its great-value
four-course menu. That doesn't imply second-rate
food: the cooking is classy and finely balanced bet-
ween traditional dishes and seasonal specials. The
wine list is long and worthy. Moderate
