A land of street art, bucolic backstreets and a myriad of other treasures, the 13th arrondissement is also home to a host of restaurants. Whether you’re looking for unusual concepts, straightforward flavors, meticulous decor or all three, here are our favorite addresses in the four corners of this lively 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 real UFO, as much for its flamboyant Memphis-style decor as for its original concept. The idea? A new takeaway street food formula, innovative and gourmet. The result is the Poggi Cup, a dish that is unstructured and upside-down in its composition, then served in a cup.
Poggi Cup – 4, rue Charles Moureu, 75013

“Gourmet but doesn’t overdo it, balanced and totally liberated but also natural yet sophisticated.” These are the words used by chef Lilian Douchet to describe his young restaurant on the Avenue des Gobelins. Every day, the former Top Chef contestant delivers contemporary bistronomic cuisine to the delight of our taste buds. Worth a try!
