Sandwich de chez Bidou présenté par le cuisinier

Bidou

Just steps away from the nomadic restaurant Ventrus, a brand-new spot has opened in the heart of La Villette: Bidou – a fresh, creative, and eco-conscious take on snacking for those craving something seasonal and satisfying on the go.
On the menu: vibrant seasonal salads, generous sandwiches (grilled cheese, tamago sando, jambon-beurre, slow-cooked options…) served on artisan bread, picnic baskets to take away, and a few sweet treats to share—or not (cookies, waffles, sundaes…).
Designed as an open-air counter, Bidou embraces a sustainable approach: short supply chains, composting in partnership with a local collective, refurbished kitchen equipment, and eco-friendly packaging—with a consignment system currently being tested.
For added convenience, Bidou now offers online ordering with click & collect, as well as a delivery service.
A tasty, simple, and planet-friendly way to eat—whether you’re lounging in the grass or strolling through the park.
