5/5/2023 0 Comments Socialite coffee barI then lived in London, then Paris and NYC. I grew up in Normandy and studied in Caen and Rennes. Sweet and savoury dishes to try throughout the day accompanied by hot and cold drinks. Open Wednesday-Sunday from 09:30 to 17:30. Conscious, welcoming and generous, Capitale Belleville represents a melting pot of the culinary and civic concerns of its founder.Ĭapitale Belleville, 10 rue Pradier, 75019 Paris. Treasures uncovered, in the main, by Margot in her childhood home of Normandy. A variety of original dishes to try in an industrial setting – with its exposed brick and faded walls – in which second-hand furniture is given pride of place for a reduced ecological impact. A clientele that will find daily specials incorporating dishes usually only available in the evenings in bars: from aromatic, crusty home-made cornbread to their Labneh topped with pears poached in Suze liqueur, to ricotta toast, kale and candied lemon. Here, the drinks and dishes are conceived along with Carl, the English head chef on duty behind the counter, in the spirit of eclecticism! For this young woman, this collaborative menu reflects her obvious love of good food and desire for inclusivity in this latest project: ‘We eat and drink all day… sweet, salty, warm, cold, non-alcoholic and alcoholic.’ Capitale Belleville therefore plays host to a community of foodies with diverse palates. So, how to describe the unique atmosphere that suffuses this welcoming eating area with an old-fashioned charm? By not focusing on café culture, the owner advocates for another principle: diversity. ‘It’s not a restaurant, or a bar, or a coffee shop’, explains the entrepreneur from Capitale Belleville’s predecessor, Combat Belleville, already endorsed by mixology aficionados. At 10 rue Pradier, things are seen differently. What could be more surprising than founding a café without enjoying the basic drink? An amusing anecdote shared by Margot Lecarpentier, head of Capitale Belleville, an address in the 19th arrondissement of Paris that offers a fresh and innovative hybrid vision of the café, beyond the all too familiar stereotypes of the genre.
