MOB hotel restaurant
Mob hotel is a massive property just a few minutes away on foot from the Saint-Ouen Flea Market. The hotel may be very far from the center of Paris like where most accommodations are, but it certainly impresses with its smart architecture and community-based ethos. The reasoning behind the entire establishment is evident even in the food served at the restaurant which defends “local, cooperative and fully organic agriculture“. We’re fans of the mediterranean dishes on the menu!
La RECyclerie
Also nearby in the area is probably the best representation of when vintage and second-hand items for sale come together: La RECyclerie. The people behind this restaurant/bar/farm/garden are geniuses invested in bringing places, which were once thought hopeless, back to life. The food here is very humble and gets inspiration from ethnic flavors and you can trust that its organic. Come here after bargaining your way through the flea markets or simple just come here to support a good cause.
