The now ubiquitous breakfast spot - started in Brussels, now expanding throughout the world. It's worth taking a pot of the praline spread home with you.

A good American-style coffee/muffin bar.
The best coffee though is just across the Boulevard - Rue des Riches-Claire "Moka" (not on google) . A funky place but a bit unreliable with opening hours.

The restaurant downstairs is really not bad if you are feeling lazy or just want to keep it very local.

Very nice, funky, inexpensive Brazilian restaurant. Not a huge menu (always reassuring I find) including Feijoada. Not to be confused with La Cantina Cubana in the parallel street.
