"Great street food is hard to come by in a country where school cafeterias serve four-course meals, but thankfully we have Nonette. This bánh mì takeaway counter is known for the Cheffe's Special, and rightfully so: A quintet of housemade charcuterie includes fatty mortadella, slightly spiced pork shoulder, and pork floss offset by moreish pickles and French butter. The vegetarian options are on-point too—we have a soft spot for the treacly fried eggplant seasoned with chili and garlic. (Bonus points for this one being vegan, though you can always add a perfect fried egg.) End with a pillowy filled doughnut. The house special Kaya is a no-brainer, filled with a pandan-coconut cream so luscious we can't help but lick our fingers clean. Nonette is a twelve-minute walk to the Parc de Belleville, though you’ll find it hard to wait that long to dig in." - emily monaco
