One delicious plate after another at Cendrillon

In Belleville, Cendrillon breaks down culinary borders on the plate and wakes up the neighborhood with a menu as creative as it is wonderfully indulgent. Here, flavors from near and far collide in dishes that delight from the very first bite. We start strong with the house signature that's been making waves on social media: the famous caviar bump & iced vodka shot combo. Then comes a mini gastronomic world tour: a pork belly bun done sando-style, a tortilla generously smothered in 'nduja, and the must-try flambéed bone marrow topped with crispy beef tartare and charred pita bread. To finish on a high note, the caramelized, vanilla-infused seasonal crêpe plays the role of a dessert that surprises, with delicate touches of cherry as its twist. And because such a feast deserves its signature cocktail, we toast it all with a Frozen Piña Colada

slightly elevated.

Discovering Camille Vivier's work at the MEP

All summer long, Camille Vivier redefines the female body in all its forms. Shot after shot, she plays with codes to shake up our certainties and celebrate a raw, almost tangible strength. Flesh dialogues with inanimate objects to provoke and question. With nearly a hundred works brought together, this journey traces 25 years of a fascinating career, spent flirting between sharp fashion editorial and underground art at its finest.

Brunch in the sunshine at Floréa

Belleville

Just a stone's throw from Belleville Park, Floréal Belleville ticks all the boxes for the perfect weekend brunch spot. Its peaceful terrace and cosy space invite you to take your time, while on the plate, the focus is on local and seasonal produce. Big appetites can go for the hearty brunch formula, while those with smaller appetites will prefer to nibble on little colourful plates, packed with vegetables and fresh flavours for the summer. And to extend your outing, head to their neighbouring concept store, which regularly hosts exhibitions, markets and other gatherings that bring people together.
