Brasserie Bellanger delights the 10th arrondissement

Bistro-style cuisine, well-sourced products, all at affordable prices: that's what Brasserie Bellanger has to offer. A newcomer to the gourmet scene in Paris's 10th arrondissement, Brasserie Bellanger invites you to enjoy its sunny terrace throughout the summer of 2020.

Behind this new place is above all a story, that of Charly and Victor. Both passionate about good food, they came across the cookbook of Charly's great-great aunt, Marie-Louise Bellanger.

In it, they discovered the secrets of the real Boeuf Bourguignon, the beautiful history of sole meunière, the timeless Parisian croque-monsieur... In short, all the most traditional local recipes. These classics are now on the menu at Brasserie Bellanger.

On a mission to revive the typical Parisian brasserie, Victor and Charly focus on French cuisine prepared with ultra-well-sourced produce from their favorite small-scale producers.

With a menu renewed every week, Brasserie Bellanger appeals to the taste buds of Parisians with cheese and charcuterie platters ranging from €7 to €13, featuring, for example, beef jerky with green pepper, Ibaïama ham, truffled white ham and even truffled sausage.

Starters are priced between €2 and €7. Enough to treat yourself to a whole host of them! Bulots et spicy mayo (7€), céleri rémoulade (5€), frisée aux lardons (5€). For us, it's eggs mayo (2€), the indestructible classic of Parisian bistros; Mamie Bellanger rillettes (7€), based on poultry and perfectly seasoned; and leeks snacked with vinaigrette (6€), another classic spiced up here with churned butter croutons and an excellent vinaigrette.

As for the main courses, the à la carte menu includes grilled skirt steak (15€), beef tartare (13€), salade niçoise (15€)... All of these typically French dishes clearly catch our eye, but we finally settle on the unmissable saucisse purée (13€) with its genuine Aveyronnaise sausage knife, 8-hour simmered gravy and churned salted butter purée.

And don't miss out on the Croque-Monsieur (10€), Brasserie Bellanger 's best-selling dish, which you can choose Madame (with egg), or with optional truffled ham. Inside, a chiffonade of farmhouse Auvergne ham and old Comté cheese melts as much as we do in front of this gourmet dish.
