Dong Huong isn't a secret, but you wouldn't find it by accident. These two undecorated dining rooms on a Belleville side street are where the local Chinese and Vietnamese come for a reassuring bowl of pho (noodle soup) or plate of grilled lemongrass-scented meat with rice. Spicy, peanut-y saté soup is a favorite, and at this price (EUR 6.50) you can also spring for a plate of crunchy imperial rolls, to be wrapped in accompanying lettuce and mint. Try one of the lurid nonalcoholic drinks; they're surprisingly tasty.

Dong Huong was a very good culinary experience in our favorite city, Paris. We love Vietnamese and the food here compared favorably with our favorite place, DaLat, in Massachusetts. The rice vermicelli with rolls was delicious. The atmosphere was true neighborhood. All generations eating together in a restaurant worthy of a visit.
