Modern bistro with extremely delicious & interesting small Asian dishes and beautiful natural wines. Your best bet is to order the entire menu and stay for hours. 

With the sloping hills and curving, interlocking paths, the Parc des Buttes Chaumont is one of the most impressive parks in Paris and offers some of the most prized, Parisian views. Join the fellow runners darting through the caves, waterfalls and over the bridges or, come the summer, listen to the live jazz bands and guitar strumming. 

Voltaire (the resident corgi) may seem like the main draw at Candle Kids, though that's before a sip of the house speciality: a creamy brewed latte made with mountain honey from Savoie, the hometown of the power-duo owners and brother, Martin and Ernest Laurens. With the help of Studio Ebur, they transformed this corner-hugging spot into an immaculately designed oasis; stone columns are left bare, an oak-stool pair accompanies the zinc-topped bar and glass-box dessert case, and light streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The door is left open, allowing the gentle chatter from the outside benches to filter through to the expansive, open-plan interiors. Inside is a clutter of tables reserved for laptop users on weekdays, though the remainder are filled with neighbourhood locals tucking into the fresh bake of the day. 

When a wine bar meets a snack bar, you're left with a wonderful amalgamation of possibilities. Buttes serves healthy poured vin au verre to sip alongside an array of remarkably good plates cooked up by Clément Vesat (formerly at Bambino).
