My favorite restaurant recommendations in Montmartre

by Melle Bon Plan

For this “great addresses” article, I’ve decided to group together some quality restaurants that I’ve tested in Montmartre. Indeed, in this ultra-touristy district of Paris, it’s not always easy to find good places to eat during a visit or even a little Sunday stroll. There’s something for everyone: a haven for meat lovers, a beautiful terrace to get a taste of Montmartre life, a hideout for wine enthusiasts, and friendly, relaxed bistronomic spots. For those interested, you can discover even more great restaurant addresses in Montmartre by clicking on this link, where you’ll find my other articles on this neighborhood.

This lovely spot is located at the foot of Montmartre and is a wine/tapas bar. It’s the little sister of the owners’ first restaurant: La Bonne Ecole, also located in the 18th arrondissement. Consequently, it offers a nice selection of wines from all over the world. To accompany all this, you’ll find beautiful sharing plates, very well executed and homemade by the chef Genesis (who grew up in Venezuela). All this in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The cuisine is mainly French but is also nourished by the chef’s experience and travels.

We tasted: the Comté and Serrano ham croquettes (11.50 €); the shrimp croq’ with lemon mayonnaise and fresh herb salad (9.50 €); the melting sweet potatoes with panko and paprika with salsa brava and Greek yogurt (9.50 €); the sea bream tiradito, ceviche sauce with coconut milk and mango pico de gallo (16.50 €); for dessert, chocolate mousse with fleur de sel and olive oil (8.50 €) and pear poached in homemade punch with citrus mascarpone cream and nuts (9.50 €); to accompany the desserts, we opted for a glass of 20-year-old Maury from the Mas Amiel estate.

This restaurant located on Rue Lamarck, a stone’s throw from the Sacré-Cœur, is a place with a warm atmosphere and bohemian decor that offers a festive vibe in the evening, from what I gathered. In the glasses, you’ll find a sharp selection of natural and organic wines, sourced from small producers. On the plates, it’s Mediterranean sharing cuisine, with fresh and local products, and the menu is signed by chef Enzo Lelaure. And then, I was blown away by the prices of the lunch menu with starter, main course, and dessert for only 22 €, and frankly, it’s almost unbeatable in the neighborhood, with this quality on the plate.

To taste: special mention for the creamy and flavorful eggplant caviar and also the sea bream ceviche which was very nice; a little treat also with the well-seasoned marinated lamb chops and their vegetable tian, and also with the red tuna tataki; we finish with the desserts, obviously, with the pineapple carpaccio and the hazelnut tiramisu, which pleasantly surprised me.

This very nice address on the trendy and festive Rue Ramey offers sunny, lively, and balanced cuisine, improvised over the weeks and with seasonal products, influenced by Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish currents. The address is like a second home for families and neighborhood friends who make it their daily meeting spot, and the atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly. We actually sat on the restaurant’s nice terrace that evening. We started with a little signature cocktail (cocktail prices between 9 € and 14 €) and I must say they were very good.

To taste: cockles marinières with a miso emulsion (12 €); caponata with a perfect egg and chorizo chips (12 €); semi-cooked tuna with strawberry pickles, roasted sucrine lettuce, and a pea vierge sauce (25 €); tomato and watermelon salad with a gaspacho concentrate, burrata, and croutons (18 €); pavlova with apricots in verbena syrup and lemon thyme whipped cream (10 €).

We spent a gourmet and festive evening at Adraba, a restaurant located on Rue Véron, which bears the name of a former mayor of Montmartre. We started by tasting the establishment’s super cocktails signed by mixologist David Weiss, which are original and perfectly balanced. On the food side, Adraba honors Levantine cuisine, which fuses the flavors of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The menu is presented in 4 parts, and the dishes are easily shared and eaten with quite a jubilant satisfaction. The flavor pairings are expressive, even explosive, the products are of high quality, and the front-of-house team is both extremely friendly and perfectly expert at explaining all the secrets of the dishes that parade before you.

As the evening progresses, the light dims and the atmosphere rises, right up to the dessert show, set up right on the table, like a painting, by the entire restaurant team. In short, as you will have understood, we had a big crush on this address, which I warmly recommend if you are in Montmartre.

This great restaurant / wine bar and dining cellar address offers a concept of creative and tasty sharing plates. And on the wine side, the place has a nice cellar where you can select your bottle to accompany the meal or choose to have wine by the glass. We were very impressed by this address with its tiny kitchen and by the team, which consists of only two people, and yet the quality on the plates is there, and the service too! Bravo to them!

To taste: pumpkin espuma, oyster mushrooms, thyme and Cantal cream, pumpkin gnocchi (14 €); crab salad, tarragon mayonnaise, mango, and tangy fennel (16 €); white asparagus risotto, pork loin cream, soft-boiled egg, and snacked green asparagus (15 €); prawn ravioli with candied lemon, shiso, coriander, and bisque (16 €); for dessert, the white chocolate creamy with coconut milk and lime, Gariguette strawberries, pistachios, and lemon balm (12 €).

Restaurant Le Sancerre

This brasserie opened in the heart of the Abbesses district last year. I actually tested it at that time, so it’s possible that the prices have changed a bit since last year… With its beautiful terrace, locals and tourists flock there to enjoy the Montmartre atmosphere. For my part, I liked the decor of the place, which takes us on a journey to the Paris of the Roaring Twenties. On the plates, we find fresh products, carefully selected from small producers.

To taste:

  • Some signature cocktails made by the establishment’s mixologist or a little Aperol Spritz (10 €).
  • As a starter, we shared with the favorite photographer the salmon gravlax and vegetable tagliatelle (12.50 €).
  • For main courses, I recommend the truffle coquillettes and Belotta ham for a little regressive touch (17.50 €) or the veal cutlet Milanese style with candied lemon (19 €).
  • For desserts, to treat yourself, I recommend the raspberry crisp (8.50 €) and the Le Sancerre profiteroles (8.50 €).
  • On the wine side, the establishment offers a nice selection of wines by the glass (between 4.9 € and 8 €).

Sosso is a Mediterranean restaurant located on Rue Ramey that offers Lebanese and Egyptian-inspired cuisine. In the evening, you’ll find plates to share featuring flavors from the Middle East, the Maghreb, and the Western Mediterranean. I recommend trying the Chich Taouk (€9.50), marinated chicken breast with a garlic sauce because it’s super tasty, or the crispy feta with its pepper and candied lemon coulis (€12). Also, don’t miss the XL eggplant fries to dip in a mint labneh (€11). Finally, for dessert, we fell in love with the Greek yogurt with crunchy Lebanese bread, honey, and zaatar (€6).

Restaurant Les Fines Lames

This meat-focused restaurant located in the Abbesses district in Montmartre is the hangout of three childhood friends who love good food and wanted to create a place together. The establishment bets everything on the quality of the meat that is cooked (sourced from Nadaud-Delahaye, an artisan butcher-charcutier passed down from father to son for 3 generations) but also on its preparation method.

To taste:

  • For a starter, we shared a Cantal-chorizo-pepper egg cocotte (€8).
  • For the main course, I opted for the vintage beef picanha (180 g / €16) and the favorite photographer for the Angus rib steak (280 g / €28). As a side, the homemade fries (potato or sweet potato) are delicious, as are the homemade sauces (a little crush on the chimichurri sauce)!
  • For dessert, to finish on a refreshing and light note, I recommend the Mojito des Fines Lames (€8).
  • Another very good point, the restaurant offers a wine list from independent winemakers, created with Patrick Poirier, former sommelier of the Tour d’Argent, on a selection of flagship appellations. Price of wines by the glass between €5.50 and €8.

Restaurant Le Bon, la Butte

Here again, we find a friendly story at the origin of the place. Domenico, David, Thibaut, and Raphaël are four epicurean friends who wanted to create a neighborhood bistro in Montmartre, between the Moulin de la Galette and the Place du Tertre. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and relaxed, and you have a great time in this establishment that offers quality cuisine without any fuss, using very good products.

To taste:

  • As a starter, we tasted the razor clams in parsley sauce (€9), which is really very nice because it is ultimately quite rare to find this kind of dish in restaurants and that’s a shame.
  • Another very nice and fresh starter, the avocado tartare with wasabi and crab crumble with citron (€10).
  • For the main course, I tested the seared octopus, butternut mousseline, and cardoon à la barigoule (€24), which is becoming more and more fashionable and can be found in quite a few Parisian restaurants now.
  • The favorite photographer had the Galician Angus hanger steak à la normande with mashed potatoes (€22).
  • For desserts, we tested the gourmet Iranian pistachio cream puff (€9) and the hazelnut shortbread, Amalfi lemon cream, and Italian meringue (€9).
  • Regarding wines, the establishment offers an interesting selection (wines by the glass between €5 and €8.50) unearthed by Thibaut from small producers.

Jujube (closed)

This restaurant, which opened its doors in 2021, is located at the foot of the hill, near the Anvers metro station. We discovered the cuisine of chef Senda David Waguena, originally from Togo, and we had a feast! The latter concocts inventive and creative cuisine off the beaten path, with African, Italian, and French inspirations. We particularly appreciated the cocktails (€13 and €9 for a non-alcoholic cocktail), which were truly divine and of a quality to rival the best cocktail bars in the capital. Special mention also for the vegetarian dishes which were very successful and also for the chef’s desserts, super regressive!

To taste: quinoa, roasted butternut, Korean erengy, and seeds (€12); trout gravelax, horseradish goat cheese, beetroot coulis, and salad (€16); root vegetable velouté, haddock, mussels, and scallops (€28); butcher’s cut, chanterelles, plantains (€32); tiramisu, streusel, pansy flower (€11); burnt cheesecake, caramel, chocolate tuile (€12); the chef’s famous rice pudding with honey-roasted pineapple and Decroix gin (€13).

Atelier Ramey

In May 2022, we took a little tour on the lower slopes of Montmartre to discover Atelier Ramey, a very nice bistronomic restaurant that has been established for several years in the neighborhood and offers super balanced and tasty cuisine in a warm and friendly setting (just like the owner who is worth the trip just to soak up his communicative good mood!). And what’s more, the address also has a small wine bar right next door, so on that side, we are also well served. Remember to book on weekends because it is often full.

Crush for the pan-fried black pudding terrine with horseradish celery remoulade (€14) as a starter and for the plancha-grilled cod (€26) as a main course. We also tasted the organic perfect egg with its morel cream (€13) which was delicious and the Maison Ospital pork loin with a mushroom fricassee and baby potatoes (€24). For dessert, it was Valrhona chocolate mousse (€10) and rice pudding with salted butter caramel and orange tuile (€10).

La Bonne Franquette

Located in a 16th-century house in the heart of old Montmartre, La Bonne Franquette lives up to its name and keeps alive the long Montmartre tradition of gaiety, conviviality, good food, and good wines, faithful to its motto “Love, Eat, Drink, and Sing”. In 2022, we went there to celebrate the arrival of the Beaujolais Nouveau and we had an extremely convivial and boozy evening. We feasted on an assortment of Lyonnais charcuterie, a lentil and shallot salad, a pistachio sausage from the Lyonnais charcuterie Sibilia, or even a beef fondant with Beaujolais. For dessert, we ate a pear poached in Beaujolais to stay on theme.

La Brasserie Thaï – “Chez Thanatcha” is located in the Montmartre district and even at the very top of the hill. The strong point of this place, halfway between a French brasserie and a Thai street food spot in a refined and cozy decor, is its selection of wines and grand crus that pair perfectly with the Thai cuisine offered at the restaurant. The address was founded by Thanatcha, passionate about cooking and originally from the lush region of Phichit in Thailand, and her husband Didier. Both are aware of the importance of subtle pairings between wines and dishes, and they have developed a wine list that honors Thai cuisine.

Located at the foot of the hill, on the Boulevard de Rochechouart, this Parisian bouillon (for your information, bouillons are establishments characterized as popular eateries that were famous in the 19th century for their simple, nourishing, and affordable dishes) offers classic French cuisine at very accessible prices: €4 for eggs mayonnaise; €6 for the gazpacho of the day; €9 for steak frites… and so on. Nothing exceptional, but it’s good value for money for simple dishes, with a friendly welcome and a cozy setting for a budget-friendly meal.
