Montmartre & Northern Paris
This seemingly traditional neighbourhood cafe with gold lettering, woven sky-blue-and-cream bistro chairs and vintage fittings is so much more than that. Showcase for expertly roasted beans by Parisian coffee roastery Belleville Brûlerie, the Belleville Fountain is a fashionista hotspot for excellent coffee, tasty all-day food and fantastic live jazz every Saturday from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. Sunday brunch is an equally hot date.
It also grinds beans to take away.
