Land of street art of bucolic, secret alleyways and a myriad of other treasures, the 13th arrondissement is also home to numerous restaurants. Unusual concepts, bold flavors, meticulous decor or all 3 at once, here are our favorite addresses in the four corners of this bustling corner of Paris.
Poggi Cup
Amid the urban jungle of the Tolbiac district, a colorful spot stands out from the surrounding landscape. Poggi Cup a new haunt for street food enthusiasts, is a veritable UFO, as much for its flamboyant Memphis-style decor as for its original concept. The idea? An innovative, gourmet takeaway street food concept. The result is the Poggi Cup, a dish that is unstructured and upside-down in its composition, then served in a cup.
