12 Food Spots in Oberkampf

Every Parisian knows there isn鈥檛 just one Paris.听

There鈥檚 the lavishly posh 8th arrondissement, with luxury shopping and apartment prices that could make you cry, the trendy 9th arrondissement filled with nightlife and grand streets, the quaint 3rd arrondissement of boutiques and charm鈥攜ou name it. Paris has an arrondissement for every person and every occasion, it seems.听

So what about the 11th arrondissement of Paris? Or, more specifically, the Oberkampf area?

The 11th arrondissement in general doesn鈥檛 get much attention from tourists as it鈥檚 pretty sparse in terms of classic landmarks or museums, except of course for the Place de Bastille. However, missing the 11th arrondissement proves to be a big mistake once you understand how seriously cool it is.听

The Oberkampf area takes after the large Rue Oberkampf which was named after French-German industrialist Christophe-Phillippe Oberkampf. Known to locals as 鈥淩ue de la soife鈥� aka Thirsty Street, you can be sure the Oberkampf area is poppin鈥� on the weekend as well as weekdays!听

Below are some of the听best food spots in the Oberkampf:

Cafes & Restaurants听

Charbon Cafe

You know when you have a million restaurants you want to try but keep coming back to the same one? This is one of those places for me. Located at this is one of those places that has it all.
