"Offering the best of both worlds—quintessential Parisian café decor (tiled floors, vintage chandeliers, a curved wooden bar), plus specialty coffee and seasonally-inspired fare—La Fontaine de Belleville owes that to the team behind Belleville Brûlerie, who took over the canal-adjacent space in 2016 and serve coffee from their roasting facility just up the street (they’ve since passed on the café to new owners). Saturday afternoons are lively, jazz-filled affairs as a live band takes over the fantastically blue terrace, where apéro hour slips easily into evening." - Sophie Dodd
