My favorite thai restaurant in Paris. There is often a line outside, so best to either go early or late, and avoid weekends and rainy days. But it's worth it, because everything is absolutely delicious, and seems very authentic (I've never been to Thailand, so I can't be sure). It's a very busy restaurant but the staff is usually very friendly and efficient.

A short menu with some great Vietnamese specialties - bo bun, loc lac, etc. - at affordable prices. To take out or eat in on the long shared wooden tables and benches. Busy but friendly atmosphere.

Amazing bread and viennoiseries (croissants, pain au chocolat, etc.). Their "Flûte Gana" is their iconic, must-try baguette and worth the few centimes extra compared to a "normal" baguette.

Great for a drink and some sunshine on a nice day.

Parks & Nature
A lovely terraced park with beautiful flower beds that winds its way down the Belleville hill. The view of all of Paris from the lookout area at the top, just before you actually enter the park, is amazing. In spring and summer, musical events and festivals are often scheduled there.

Amazing park with winding paths and a beautiful pergola atop the highest point that you can climb up to for a great view. Also two great bars/cafés with outdoor seating. Great place for joggers to run around the lake, and lots of nooks and crannies to discover. Also great for picnics, walks and free morning tai chi classes.
