THE LEVEL CROSSING, AN ATYPICAL PLACE

• This restaurant, which opened in August 2020, is located on the edge of the inner ring road in the 19th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Ourcq canal and the Villette basin a little out of sight.
• It is part of a beautiful project "La ferme du Rail" which includes housing for people in rehabilitation, a vegetable garden cultivated by people in rehabilitation and the restaurant Le Passage à niveau. The rail farm is an agri-urban space open to all in order to welcome, train and sustainably integrate the most fragile people.
• Fruits and vegetables are grown here for the restaurant.
• Affordable prices and à la carte, simple dishes with seasonal products served with kindness and simplicity
• A friendly terrace with a view of the old railway line and on walls covered with Street Art

WE TESTED THE BRUNCH AT THE RAILROAD CROSSING.

• Your choice, a complete formula (a dish + a juice + a hot drink + a sweet buffet) at 17€ when we went there or the dish alone at 12€.
