La Fontaine de Belleville

Street foodLocals' pick

A 1920 Parisian café restored by the founders of the Brûlerie de Belleville roastery, who kept the mirrors, moulded ceiling and 'zinc d'anthologie' and put specialty coffee in the old percolator. Its lunchtime jambon-beurre (Prince de Paris ham, raw salted Beillevaire butter) ranked second in Time Out's Paris jambon-beurre test.

Good to know

  • From 08:00 neighbours have their espresso or allongé here before work; the cheapest way is standing at the zinc.
  • Weekday lunch: order the jambon-beurre, which comes with house pickles. Saturday afternoons have had jazz sessions (Time Out).
  • The blue tables on the corner terrace get the sun.
