My favorite restaurants in Montmartre

by Melle Bon Plan
Published: Updated:

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

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, as I understand it. 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, local products, and the menu is signed by chef Enzo Lelaure. And I was blown away by the prices of the lunch menu with a starter, main course, and dessert for only €22, which is honestly almost unbeatable in the neighborhood for such quality on the plate.

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

This very cool address on the trendy and festive Rue Ramey offers sun-drenched, lively, and balanced cuisine, improvised over the weeks based on 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 nice terrace of the restaurant that evening. We started with a little signature cocktail (cocktail prices between €9 and €14), and I must say they were very good.

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

We spent a gourmet and festive evening at Adraba, a restaurant located on Rue Véron, named after a former mayor of Montmartre. We started by tasting the establishment’s great cocktails signed by mixologist David Weiss, which are original and perfectly balanced. Regarding food, Adraba highlights Levantine cuisine, which fuses the flavors of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The menu is divided into 4 parts, and the dishes are easily shared and eaten with quite jubilant satisfaction. The flavor combinations are expressive, even explosive, the products are of high quality, and the service team is both extremely friendly and perfectly expert in 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 directly on the table, like a painting, by the entire restaurant team. In short, as you will have understood, we had a major crush on this address, which I warmly recommend if you are in Montmartre.

This great restaurant / wine bar and dining cellar concept offers creative and tasty sharing plates. And for wine, the place has a lovely 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 the team, which consists of only two people, and yet the quality on the plates is there, and the service too! Bravo to them!

Must try: pumpkin espuma, oyster mushrooms, thyme and Cantal cream, pumpkin gnocchi (€14); crab salad, tarragon mayonnaise, mango and tangy fennel (€16); asparagus risotto, pork loin cream, soft-boiled egg, and pan-seared green asparagus (€15); shrimp 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 right in the heart of the Abbesses neighborhood last year. I tested it at that time, so the prices may 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 venue’s decor, which makes us take a trip back to the Paris of the Roaring Twenties. On the plates, you’ll find fresh products, carefully selected from small producers.

Must try:

  • Some signature cocktails made by the establishment’s mixologist or a small Aperol Spritz (€10).
  • As a starter, we shared the salmon gravlax and vegetable tagliatelle with my favorite photographer (€12.50).
  • For main courses, I recommend the truffle macaroni and Bellota ham for a slightly retro touch (€17.50) or the Milanese-style veal chop with candied lemon (€19).
  • For desserts, to treat yourself, I recommend the raspberry crisp (€8.50) and the Le Sancerre profiteroles (€8.50).
  • Regarding wines, 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 sharing plates centered around flavors from the Middle East, the Maghreb, and the Western Mediterranean. I recommend you try the Chich Taouk (€9.50), marinated chicken breasts with a garlic sauce because it’s super good, or the crispy feta with its bell 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 had a crush on the Greek yogurt with crunchy Lebanese bread with honey and zaatar (€6).

Restaurant Les Fines Lames

>

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

Must try:

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

Restaurant Le Bon, la Butte

Here again, we find a friendly story that is 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 spend a very good time in this establishment that offers quality cuisine but without fuss, with very good products.

Must try:

  • As a starter, we tasted the razor clams in persillade (€9), which is really very nice because it is finally quite rare to find this kind of dish in restaurants and it is a shame.
  • Another very nice and fresh starter, the avocado tartare with wasabi and crumbled crab with citron (€10).
  • For the main course, I tested the pan-seared octopus, butternut mousseline, and cardoon à la barigoule (€24), which is becoming increasingly fashionable and is found in quite a few Parisian restaurants now.
  • The favorite photographer took the Galician Angus onglet steak à la normande with mashed potatoes (€22).
  • For desserts, we tested the gourmet Iranian pistachio 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 butte, towards the Anvers metro station. We discovered the cuisine of chef Senda David Waguena, originally from Togo, and we loved it! 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 non-alcoholic cocktails), 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 retro!

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

Atelier Ramey

>

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

Crush for the pan-seared blood sausage terrine with celery remoulade with horseradish (€14) as a starter and for the cod à la plancha (€26) as a main course. We also tasted the organic perfect egg with its morel mushroom 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 tile (€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, friendliness, good food, and good wine, faithful to its motto “Love, Eat, Drink, and Sing”. In 2022, we went there to celebrate the arrival of the Beaujolais Nouveau and we spent an extremely friendly and lively evening. We feasted on an assortment of Lyonnaise charcuterie, a lentil and shallot salad, a pistachio sausage from the Lyonnaise charcuterie Sibilia, or even a beef fondant in Beaujolais. For dessert, we ate a pear poached in Beaujolais to stay on theme.

La Brasserie Thaï – “Chez Thanatcha” is located in the Montmartre neighborhood, even right at the top of the butte. The strong point of this place, halfway between a French brasserie and a Thai dive in a refined and cozy setting, is its selection of wines and fine wines that go perfectly with the Thai cuisine offered at the restaurant. The address was founded by Thanatcha, passionate about cooking and originally from the green Phichit region in Thailand, and her husband Didier. Both are aware of the importance of subtle pairings between food and wine, and they have developed a wine list that honors Thai cuisine.

Located at the foot of the butte, on Boulevard de Rochechouart, this Parisian bouillon (for info, bouillons are establishments characterized as popular and famous in the 19th century for their simple, nourishing, and affordable dishes) therefore offers classic French dishes at very accessible prices: €4 for egg mayonnaise; €6 for the daily gazpacho; €9 for steak frites … etc. Nothing exceptional but a good quality/price ratio on small dishes, a friendly welcome, and a cozy setting for a meal at a low price.

Where to eat cheap (but good) in Montmartre?

For an unbeatable quality-price ratio, I recommend Bombarde on Rue Lamarck with its lunch menu for only €22. Otherwise, head to the bouillon Chez Marguerite for classics at low prices (egg mayo for €4!).

Which restaurants to travel through the plate?

Montmartre hides real exotic gems! Test Adraba for its festive Levantine cuisine or even Sosso for its Mediterranean and Lebanese flavors.

Where to eat a good steak in Montmartre?

Meat lovers must absolutely book at Les Fines Lames on Rue Lepic. They source from an exceptional butcher (Nadaud-Delahaye) and offer cuts like the Picanha or Angus that are to die for.

A nice place to drink good wine?

There is an embarrassment of choice! Les Vins de Montmartre is a very friendly dining cellar. More surprisingly, the Brasserie Thaï offers unexpected and delicious food and wine pairings.
