Food Scene
Great little place with good food and a chilled atmosphere, very Bastille! Its also not too pricey. Rue de la Roquette is an awesome street for bars and some good little vintage shops.

This place is always full of writers (day and night in fact!), partly because they're very chilled about you sitting with a coffee for hours! Monday night hosts 'Spoken Word' - worth a visit.
