“Poussette land”, really? Nicknamed this way for its strong attraction for families, Batignolles, this village-like neighborhood nestled between the chic 16th and the vibrant 18th, promises favorite spots on every corner. Between its romantic squares, trendy boutiques and its new foodie spots, the area is one of our favorite districts in Paris! Shall we take you on a tour?

If there’s one thing that’s been growing in Batignolles lately, it’s great bagel spots. After our first discovery at Munch — where you’ll definitely run into us every Saturday — a new HQ is already making noise: Poppy Bagel. And we have to admit, we quickly fell for it. Here, everything breathes New York, the bagel capital, with recipes that feel straight from across the Atlantic.

But what really makes the difference is the homemade quality, noticeable from the very first bite: far from overly elastic bread, the bagel here is soft, lightly toasted, and perfectly balanced. You start by choosing your bread (plain, sesame, cinnamon, blueberry…) before picking your recipe: Smoked Chicken (chicken, avocado, coleslaw, pickles, honey mustard, €9.50), Lox (smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato and onions, €14) or the sweet PB&J open bagel with peanut butter and strawberry jam (€4.50), to enjoy with an iced latte (€4.80) or a canned matcha (€5).

Poppy Bagel, 61 rue des Batignolles, Paris 17th. Open Wednesday to Friday from 9am to 4pm, Saturday and Sunday from 9:30am to 4pm.

Rue Boursault, this concept store mixes clothing, accessories and home decor in the spirit of a real lifestyle place… where you can even have a coffee! On the selection side, be careful, you might fall in love with confidential brands, sometimes hard to find in Paris, designer jewelry, and colorful pieces that feel like spring. We love the Suny organic cotton top (€60), the Gratitude blouses (€99), the Bandit Manchot recycled leather accessories (€12 to €120), the Hypsoé jewelry (€30–35) and the Maison Scarlett jewelry boxes (€14 to €69). And because Les Passantes doesn’t do things halfway, its real coffee shop corner offers chai latte, homemade lemonade (€5), iced coffee (€5) and even wine or champagne (€7), all with homemade pastries (€2 to €5) or mochi ice cream (€3.50). More than a shop, this true neighborhood HQ regularly hosts concerts, book signings and exhibitions: a mix of colors, energy and spontaneity that feels very, very Batignolles.

Les Passantes, 35 Rue Boursault, Paris 17th. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 7:30pm.

Noé stands out as THE new favorite spot for wine lovers and good-living enthusiasts. As beauty lies in the details, nothing is left to chance: from vintage porcelain tableware giving a family dinner vibe, to leather menus, soul and jazz playlist, a vaulted wine cellar, a large wooden counter and an open kitchen, you feel at home at Noé.

Its signature? Gourmet, technical and refined dishes, designed to create amazing food and wine pairings: corn croquettes, parmesan and sun-dried tomato (€11), crab fritters (€17), pâté en croûte (€18), duck breast with Jerusalem artichoke, kale and red wine sauce (€34)… Of course, everything is paired with a glass of wine from their wide selection!

Noé, 34 rue Legendre, Paris 17th. +33 9 56 00 99 32. Open Tuesday to Friday from 12pm to 2pm and 7pm to 10:30pm, Saturday from 7pm to 10:30pm. Lunch menu €34 or €39.

Named Best Pastry Chef of the Year 2022, Maxime Frédéric (Cheval Blanc, Louis Vuitton) now runs his first bakery-pastry shop in Batignolles. Total crush! XL stone mill to grind hazelnuts, decorative ceiling, parquet and mosaic floors, vintage copper molds on the walls: every inch of the shop seduces us, not to mention the intoxicating scent of bread, chocolate and coffee.

You can grab a simple croissant (€1.90), a vanilla entremets (€9.50), hazelnut spread (€9.80), cakes (€21 and €23), chocolate bars (€6.50 to €9.50) and even homemade yogurt (€2.40).On the bakery side, it’s a festival: rye bread, whole wheat, buckwheat, fruit bread, gluten-free… (from €1.90). To complete: the apple kouign-amann, without a doubt one of the best in Paris (€4.90). Final pleasure: the house coffee grown in Bolivia, enjoyed as a latte with Madagascar vanilla (€5).

Pleincœur, 64 rue des Batignolles, Paris 17th. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 8am to 8pm.

Ultimate crush: its gastronomic restaurant Les Ailes, led by chef Thomas Rossi. Located on the 8th floor with a panoramic view, you can enjoy cocktails and creative dishes in a refined, Mad Men-inspired setting.

This hidden creative studio offers pop and vintage pieces to fight dullness. Inspiration? A mix of Bauhaus shapes and Matisse colors. Sourced in Romania, vintage armchairs from the 60s and 70s are reupholstered with fabrics from major houses like Courrèges, Pierre Frey, Kenzo…

Head to Spain in this bodega-style restaurant, right across from Pont Cardinet. We love the retro stained glass, the tapas counter and the bright veranda filled with plants — a cozy spot to relax on velvet sofas.

Enjoy generous tapas like pan con tomate (€5), gazpacho (€9), tortilla (€14) and croquetas (€14) with a sangria (€7) or a daiquiri (€12). The highlight? A Sunday brunch (€25) with fresh paella, tapas, dessert and drinks.

Hidden in a cobbled alley, it’s THE go-to spot for the arty crowd of the neighborhood. A former brothel that later became the largest PMU in France, the place took on a new life in 2010 when Diane Dufour and Raymond Depardonturned it into Le BAL, a small-scale museum dedicated to visual arts (photography, video, new media…) with a strong social and political dimension.

The program? Sharp and engaged. The artistic direction navigates between emerging international scenes, forgotten figures of photography and research on visual forms, with exhibitions every three months and two festivals a year.

We love: the beautiful bookstore at the entrance and the small adjoining restaurant run by the association Le Récho, which supports refugees by training them in the restaurant industry. On the menu: seasonal dishes inspired by the market and international cuisines (à la carte: €8 to €17).

Le BAL, 6 impasse de la Défense, Paris 18th. Museum: full price €8. Open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm.

At his Michelin-starred and sustainable restaurant Anona, chef Thibaut Spiwack (Top Chef) offers a Petit Étoilé lunch menu at €49. The idea? A refined lunch including amuse-bouches, starter, main, dessert and mignardises, all served in a sleek and elegant setting. With the added bonus of enjoying a green cuisine, focused on short supply chainsand zero waste — Anona even holds a Green Star, highlighting its daily commitment.

As the menu changes every day, during our visit we tasted Landes duck with kumquat and mikado sauce, a delicious spiced cauliflower tempura with triple jus and kimchi, and finished with a Comice pear with lemon, bergamot and French gin, ultra indulgent.

Making fine dining more accessible was the chef’s ambition — and it’s a challenge he pulls off brilliantly.

ANONA, 80 boulevard des Batignolles, Paris 17th. Open Tuesday to Friday from 12pm to 2:15pm and from 7:30pm to 9:45pm. +33 1 84 79 01 15.
