Paname Brewing Company
41 bis Quai de la LoireThey have nice beers made locally. Good pub food. Very nice view of the canal de l’Ourcq.
Good French food by the canal in a typical brasserie style decorated restaurant. I recommend the œuf coquotte (with black truffles) as an ‘entree’ and their chocolate profiteroles for desert.
