How long ago was that ?
Belleville has changed quite a bit in recent years !! I remember moving out to Montreuil when I first came to live in Paris and I can't believe how much it's changed...

Errrr.... I lived there in 1973. It was about the most run down slum that you can imagine. My room didn't even have running water, but what can you expect for 160 francs a month? (24.39€)

Tigronette, I'd like to know why for each place. I usually stay around there when I'm in Paris.
I went to a really nice new resto-café in my neighbourhood (near the Jean-Talon Market in Montréal). It is called "Zitto e mangia", which is Italian for "Shut up and eat" (mamma to bambini). It is an Italian-Salvadoean place, run by a family of those extractions. This is funny because my neighbourhood, traditionally "La Petite Italie", is becoming quite Latino, and quite everything actually. It is at the corner of a park, not expensive, decent but not posh food, and a feature here where wine is too expensive, a "bring your own wine".
I ate there one evening with two friends and we were all satisfied. Also have gone there for coffee. I simply had to pupusas (Salvadorean), not greasy at all as they can be sometimes, served with good pickled cabbage and slightly-hot sauce.
Zitto e Mangia, 6660, rue Clark, (corner St-Zotique, close to métros rue de Castelnau, Jean-Talon and Beaubien) (514)54 49 397.
Hmm, even Montreuil is very slightly gentrified, or at least spruced up. Montreuil has a lovely market.
