Restaurants of Buttes Chaumont

Paris is made up of 20 Arrondisments, or quarters, each with it's own charm and character. Some quarters are more interesting than others...not all are visited by tourists. I never visited the 19th prior to moving here and I find myself not only living in it, but living across from one of my favorite places, Parc Des Buttes Chaumont. You can spend an entire day in this park and I encourage people to do so. Oh, in case you get hungry here are some restaurant suggestions. They are all located directly around the outside of the park, all easy to find.


1. Olympe Café- Rue des Alouettes & Rue Botzaris
Simple french food, friendly service and tables out on the sidewalk. Nice place for lunch.
2. L'Estampe- Rue de la Villette & Rue Botzaris
Good tagines and couscous. Also typical french menu and good salads.
3. Le Gange- Rue Cavendish & Rue Manin
Very good Indian cuisine, over the top decor and attentive service.
4. L'Atlantide- Ave. de Laumière. One block away from the main entrance to the park (facing the town hall). Great North African cuisine. Wonderful couscous and tagines. Always full so go early or reserve a table. It has a nice authentic feel and the service is always good.
5. Sushi Tokyo- Rue Meynadier. Next to the town hall, this Japanese restaurant serves very good, fresh sushi. The service is fast and attentive. They also have take-out (importer), which is great for making a sushi picnic in the park.
6. L'Aiglon Café- Rue Botzaris & Rue Fessart. Nice restaurant with typical french food, a good bar selection and tables out on the sidewalk. Located at one of the park entrances, it is a good place to get something to eat and relax.
