With gleaming five-star reviews, Rouge Do is a family-run Vietnamese canteen on what can only be described as one of Paris's most picturesque alleys, the Rue Sainte-Marthe. The already-limited menu shifts daily though there'll always be a chef's surprise worth queuing for. Nab a seat by the open window for the ultimate indoor-outdoor dining experience. 

Occupying 6 Rue Sainte-Marthe, is a natural wine emporium and pocket-sized counter dolling out bottles to the surrounding wine-loving neighbours. Belleville isn't short of a wine bar or two, though Station la Cave is Thibaut's passion-project. The space mediates between a cellar and an evening hangout as folk pull out the steel tables and chairs for a pew, linger in the open space and perch on the orange-tiled bar. Expect a good atmosphere, but even funkier wine. 

An Italian deli becomes our go-to épicerie when wandering down the Rue Sainte-Marthe. No fuss interiors, save a couple of oak tables for the in-house aperitif and wine tasting, give way to shelves stacked with wine bottles, fridges full of Italian soda and a counter stacked with cheese, fresh ravioli and kilos of cured meats. 

Iconic for its collage-curved front, Dixième Degré hugs the corner of Rue Sainte-Marthe and the tiled, mosaic covered wall of the Rue Jean et Marie Moinon. Inside, is an equally chaos of colour: mix-match chairs sprawl across the hexagonal space and various chalkboards are propped against antique mirrors, lamps and door frames covered with the menu of the day. The €7 mojito never goes a miss.
