French seafood bistro: oysters, margaritas, shareable plates
"I learned that Soces in Belleville is MICHELIN Guide Inspector–approved and co-owned by Kevin Deulio; it offers a value-focused weekend prix fixe of three courses for €35, and Deulio’s service-minded guidance (for example, never seat yourself and don’t sit at a table that’s not clean) reflects how the team approaches dining and hospitality." - Caitlin Gunther
"In an inconspicuous corner near Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, this far-19th-arrondissement seafood spot serves elegantly modern, shareable plates devised by chef Sam Schwarz. Meals begin with a signature amuse-bouche — an oyster (seasonally from St. Vaast or Oléron) paired with a spicy margarita shot — and continue through complex preparations like tuna tartare with Roman-style crispy artichokes and a ham gel, raw cuttlefish with red cabbage and kumquats, and occasionally a large pork chop meant for sharing. Finish with a superb cheese selection (think triple-cream Brillat-Savarin or pungent Époisses) and a glass of natural Cabernet Franc." - Eleanor Aldridge
"A favored neighborhood restaurant in Belleville that the author cites among go-to local spots for evenings out, suggesting an intimate, everyday-dining atmosphere suited to casual date nights or neighborhood meals." - Lane Nieset Lane Nieset Lane Nieset is a travel writer from Miami who has lived in France for the past decade.

"A gem of a Parisian brasserie, where Marius de Ponfilly, formerly chef at Clamato, has teamed up with Kevin Deulio. Previously at Bar Vendôme in The Ritz, the latter has taken to the restaurant floor like a duck to water. The pair have found a formula that is as irreverent as it is on point: choice cuts of meat and plates to be shared between friends (akasocesin Parisian slang), not forgetting their trademark fish and seafood… We recommend the Pyrenean trout and its indulgent basil sauce, or the delicious wedge clams from Le Guilvinec in a spicy parsley sauce." - Michelin Inspector
"A laid-back French bistro where you’ll find everyone from the duo behind the Coperni fashion line to music producers and magazine editors, it captures the neighborhood’s relaxed, creative crowd." - Lane Nieset
