The best bars and cafés Paris 19th 75019

Guinguette-restaurant very popular with the young Parisians in the wind. To get in at night (the afternoons are quieter), you have to be patient or arrive well in advance before the aperitif. It must be said that the setting is worth it: what a pleasure to have a drink in the heart of the Buttes Chaumont, in a relaxed atmosphere. The place is necessarily more pleasant in nice days and rather at the time of the aperitif. Nice snacks are proposed to accompany the drinks. The prices are neither less nor more expensive than elsewhere. A good time guaranteed! Note: Rosa also has its own choir, "The Sound of Music"...

Belushi's is located in a millstone building with modern cladding, along the Canal de l'Ourcq. It attracts a young and varied population, from backpackers to neighborhood clientele. And since it's all about eclecticism, the bar, with its terrace and two large rooms, one of which is in the basement, offers karaoke, clubbing, student nights, match broadcasts, billiards... It's full of life, with a youth hostel atmosphere to match, and plenty of sports broadcasts.

It is located at the foot of one of these somewhat austere buildings that runs along the canal, and fortunately it brings life into this complex. And indeed, it is really lively: Café Odilon is not just a stunning view of the canal. Firstly it is a nice place to have a drink, preferably during the day or in the evening to avoid the catering service. Then the simple cuisine is full of flavours, and has already distinguished itself by many Parisian magazines: pizzas are made "Roman style”, which is thick and full of good ingredients. Beware, the place is very popular and especially on the day of brunch. It's up to you to anticipate by booking!

This Bastringue is well worth a visit. A fixture in the neighborhood for many years, it welcomes coffee-break aficionados during the day, before inevitably coming alive in the evening, both weekdays and weekends. Indeed, between cocktails, small wines and draught beers, groups of friends gather here, sometimes elbowing their way to a seat, and ordering excellent boards to share, unless you choose one of the excellent dishes à la carte.

Located on the edge of La Villette Basin, this property is a friendly bar. It's beautifully decorated - painted in blue and white - offering a perfect view of the outside. Have fun during concerts and DJ sets - hip-hop, electro... Early in the morning, the BarOurcq invests the docks and graciously provides its customers sun beds for sunbathing and balls of petanque while having a drink. One of the best spots for warm-up and summer picnic. Oyster sales on Sundays!

The Paname Brewing Company, or PBC to its friends, offers craft beers brewed right here in Paris. A number of beers are on offer, including Barge du Canal, L'oeil de Biche, Un Singe en Hiver, Casque d'or saison and Bête noire black IPA. In addition to these classics, seasonal arrivals are also on offer. Once you've chosen your beverage, all that's left to do is enjoy the terrace overlooking the canal. And if you're hungry, delicious street food menus are available alongside the beer tanks.

Two large sunny terraces, the lapping of the water, the play of light on the canal: 25 Degrés Est is a must at the end of the Bassin de la Villette. Prices are affordable, and there's a snack bar available at all hours. However, we'd advise you to come here simply to enjoy the terrace and have a drink, and not to linger in the restaurant room, which is certainly pleasant, but rather dark. Please note that the restaurant is very busy, and places on the terrace are expensive, especially on sunny days.

While all the tourists rush to the terraces of Pigalle and Montmartre, trying in vain to relive the crazy atmosphere that reigned there at the beginning of the 20th century, people up to their time meet near the canals, from Belleville to La Villette: welcome to Café Chérie! The place is very nice and the decoration too, there are always people, music is very often present (especially from Thursday, with pretty discoveries at stake) and cheap drinks. We go there on Saturday nights to dance until dawn... or at any time! If you have some energy left after a day, for example, after visiting La Villette!

A very simple place, ideal for eating simple, quickly and at a lower cost: those who are on the west side of the park, towards the Porte de la Villette, have an excellent compromise here. Inside, an astonishing wall on which contemporary paintings have been placed, very many places inside, a large part of them with comfortable black leather armchairs: that's the setting. Concerning the meal, eclecticism: pizzas, burgers, pastas, meats and fish are offered via a very wide menu. The service is fast, often smiling. We don't come here to find a gastro, but effective: mission accomplished!

Large and small tables to give as much space to lovers as to groups of friends, painted works or photos on the walls - renewed exhibition regularly -, cooked dishes or more simply plates of cheese or cold meats, wines of small French producers… All this would already provide a clientele of accustomed people in the neighborhood without needing to add. And yet there is more: Good rock concerts, funk, French songs, world music, the Balkans, for example, as well as jazz artists, in particular - Angelo Debarre, Ninine Garcia and Romane have gone there. The big game in sum!

For those who are in this cosmopolitan neighbourhood, a red café, outside the usual circuit. Music programming from a. m. to p. m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, artist exposure on the first floor.
