Mon Oncle le Vigneron

Had a marvellously relaxed evening eating delicious, home-cooked food and sipping wonderful wine in this incredibly charming and authentic restaurant. The concept is that you eat what you are given over a number of courses in a shabby chic wine-bar that is rustic and delightfully authentic. This is simple and delicious food with simple and delicious wine. It was quiet on the night we visited but we felt instantly at home by the friendly chef/owner who greeted us warmly despite our lack of French. The language barrier was not a problem as we fumbled through the evening, chatting, eating and sipping. The charcuterie board was excellent, as was the soft cheese, salad, beef stroganoff main and homemade deserts. We couldn't help but buy some pâté and rillettes from the interesting selection to take home. We were very kindly offered a free can of pâté Basque. A wonderfully French experience at Mon Oncle le Vigneron. Will certainly return next time we're in Belleville.

My partner accurately summed up this experience as "Food that tasted the way Ratatouille (film) made me feel" and I couldn't agree more. There is no menu, you simply sit down and have delicious dishes served to you as you sip wine over the course of the evening. I imagine this is what it would be like visiting family in the French countryside. Simple, tasty and relaxed. They don't speak much English and we didn't understand much French but it was a very enjoyable experience - maybe even moreso

I had the pleasure and privilege of dining at Mon Oncle le Vigneron with my wife and sister-in-law this evening. I will leave a detailed review below, however the short version is, make a reservation and go to this restaurant. Immediately upon walking into the restaurant, you are made to feel at home. The decor is warm and inviting, if a little bit eclectic. Chika, the maitre d'hotel/waitress/chef is welcoming and very friendly, and makes you feel a part of the family. When we made our reservation for dinner, we were told that there are no choices of food, instead you will eat what Chika prepares for you. This was not an issue at all. We ordered a lovely bottle of rose, and settled in for the meal to come. We had a delicious charcuterie to start comprised of some prosciutto, salami, and chorizo, and a terrine of pork, all of which were lovely. Additionally there was a goat's cheese in olive oil, which went down a treat. Following the charcuterie we had a simple, but delicious endive salad with a lovely dressing. Finally, we had a delicious Basque pork dish, made up of the most incredibly tender pork, peppers, tomatoes, broth, and a side of steamed rice. It was my favorite style of food, simple things, cooked exceptionally well. Overall, the meal was incredible, a lovely space with good food. The coup de grace was the price. For 3 people to eat, and 2 bottles of wine, our price was less than 40 euros per person. It felt like such incredible value for a meal that I would have paid double for. If I lived in Paris, I would visit this restaurant once a week just to see what Chika was cooking up. If you are lucky enough to be in the area, give this restaurant a visit.

We visited this restaurant several times during our time in Belleville and had amazing cooking and lovey wine each time! The dining room is so sweet and homey and the outdoor seating area is the best spot to drink a glass of wine and watch the neighborhood go by. Cheka is a fabulous hostess and chef and is so welcoming. It's by far my favorite dining experience in Paris. Visit and you'll see why so many locals keep it as their regular dinner spot. Incredible deal for the quality of the fare!

Absolutely love this place. The food is delicious - the atmosphere wonderful and the owner is very kind and welcoming. Wines to go with dinner were splendid - highly recommend going and you will need to book on advance to get a table.

The food was very correct, that night we had an entree of goat (only) fromage and some sausisson and pate with classic wonderful baguette, some salad very well dressed and fried chicken with rice and a soy sauce. For dessert, a marvelous chocolate and raspberry gateau. I was expecting sth slightly more french, but maybe it was my fault, because apparently they serve Japanese-Basque fusion. Nevertheless, the place could be a little more put together, a bit more fancy. The owner cooks, cleans, serves, she does everything! And her little daughter wanders around the place. Very cute.

I have bought an excellent bottle of Riesling (German white wine) there. The service was great, price was reasonable.

Unexpected and really good!
