Serious cuisine, at reasonable prices.
Insane wine collection, ranging from a few € to mortgage-level grand crus. Service : flawless, if a bit on the cold side.
Go there for lunch, thank me later !

Look for "Family" on the sign.
OK Viet food, a tad on the pricey side for that sort of eatery, but not by much.
Good option for a takeaway dinner if you're not in a hurry (20' wait).

Great street food-type ravioli, grilled or in broth, for about 5€ a dozen.

Well, it's Astier.
One of the old school, still reliable and not quite boring "Brasseries". Go for lunch, cheaper and easier to get seated.
At dinner, be lazy and take out at Jeanne A next door.

Astier's idea of street food : lunch pod cum deli cum take out eatery.
Just as good (if limited), less crowded and formal than its 'real' restaurant twin.

If "since 1896" isn't enough to convince you to check out this living museum of a brasserie, the prices should do the trick.
Prices are fair, the cuisine is what it should be for that kind of eatery.

Fantastic vista from the terrace atop the Belleville gardens. When the restaurant limited outdoor seating gets too crowded you'll be just a flight of stairs away from picnic in the grass.
The dining is nothing to write home about, but it's a great place for drinks in the afternoon and around sunset.
