    Toda l'Akel - Pasta bolongese gratin

    4.6 kmLa Villette, 19ème

    I found this gem while staying at the holiday inn just down the the street. As an English speaker…read morewho speaks basically no French, I was SO SO happy with this restaurant. The food was great, reasonable and fairly quick and the owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating to us despite the fact that we don't speak french. The owner speaks English and immediately spoke to us in English as soon as he realized we were tourists. The place also provides English translations on all of their menus which was really helpful and I was grateful not to have to have to ask for a special menu/translations. The food was quite good. Everything they serve can be done Kosher, but you don't HAVE to have it kosher if you don't want to (AKA you can get meat sauce with a cheese au gratin dish). My fiance had the nature gratin potatoes and I had the pasta bolongese gratin. Both were very tasty. The restaurant itself is small and has maybe 10 tables inside, but it wasn't too busy. IT seems like most customers do take-out which makes sense for the area. It was clean and comfortable, but not too exciting in terms of atmosphere (not that I was expecting anything, haha). Overall, I am really pleased with this find and I would 100% recommend it for anyone in the area, especially those visiting who don't speak french. They were so friendly and it was a great experience. Plus, there's no open patio seating so you don't need to deal with annoying smoke from smokers out front puffing into the restaurant.

    This place was awesome! It was close to our hotel and we looked at the reviews on Yelp and seen it…read morehad a 5 star rating but only had one review but it definitely deserves the 5 stars staff was awesome and food was great!

    This restaurant is my favorite in all of Paris, with a magical hidden atmosphere and wonderful…read moreowner/chef (from what I can tell he does 100% of the work and has no employees). I stumbled across it for the first time last May on vacation and was blown away. The place is small and cozy - and located down a cute residential street in Montmartre so away from the crowds. I hesitate to write this review as once this is discovered it'll be tough to get a table, but it's heartbreaking to walk a couple blocks away after a delicious meal and see the crowds eating at the many tourist restaurants in Montmartre totally oblivious to the culinary perfection so nearby! Now on to the food - I came here first last May and had Pesto Penne which I have dreamed about ever since then. Back in Paris again in January, I returned to have a squid ink spaghetti creation that I'm not sure can ever be topped. I love Italian food and have spent a lot of time in Italy and it's my go-to food in the U.S., and this restaurant is simply the best. Finally, the owner is incredibly awesome! He comes out to our table with a handwritten menu and explains all the dishes - everything is handmade and perfect! I wish I could give this 1,000 stars, seriously. If you are staying in Montmartre (or anywhere in Paris) you owe it to yourself to come here!!!!

    Absolutely charming spot for best pasta dinner! Quaint, quiet with the feel of "welcome! Bonjour!…read moreBon appetite" Atmosphere very relaxing!
