Le Vieux Belleville

There's a little bar/restaurant about a 10 minute walk from our apartment called Le Vieux Belleville, the old Belleville, the name of the neighborhood. The place is typical of a lot of small unknown places around Paris. The menu was pretty typical with lots of meat and potato dishes and daily plats de jours. They also regularly have musicians playing traditional French tunes so we had been wanting to go for quite a while. Finally, last Saturday night we called two friends to join us and we all walked up for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised to find a vegetarian main dish, unusual even in upscale restaurants! More surprising was how much fun we had singing along to the accordion music, well at least trying to sing along. The musician passed out sheet music for each song she played and we sang in between bits of food!
