Cantine California

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


The offspring of Paris' inaugural organic food truck, this stationary address serves eight different burgers, seven varieties of soft-shell tacos and jumbo salads in a startlingly simple and very wooden interior with central bar, wood-chip tables and bench seating.

Top marks for the Dude, an organic bacon burger smothered in melted Beaufort cheese, caramelised onions and grilled red peppers.
