Casimir is a Parisian bistro on rue de Belzunce in the 10th arrondissement, near Gare du Nord and Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Church. It was named Bistro of the Year 2026 by Guide Pudlo and also appears in Gault&Millau 2026 with a 12/20 rating in its gourmet dining category.
Why visit Casimir?
This is a lively neighbourhood bistro: coffee in the morning, a market-inspired lunch, aperitifs on the terrace, then dinner with sharing dishes and a carefully chosen wine list. Generous French cooking and large plates are especially prominent in the evenings.
What's on the menu?
Depending on the season, Casimir offers homemade rillettes, pâtés and terrines, hand-cut beef tartare, veal, the day's fish and a range of sharing plates. Beef Wellington, large cuts of meat and classic bistro desserts such as French toast or chocolate tart reflect the restaurant's style. The menu changes with deliveries and the seasons.
The extra touch
The terrace faces a square that has become pedestrianised, reinforcing the feel of a neighbourhood bistro rather than a busy transit-area brasserie. Casimir's appeal lies in its combination of traditional French cooking, sharing dishes, serious wine selection and informal atmosphere, supported by recent recognition from food guides.
