This restaurant is an incredible discovery, close to the touristy area of Sacré Coeur yet well above expectations! The boeuf bourguignon and steak frites were especially excellent. Everything - the meal, service, ambience, drinks, and value - was superb. read more

Hands Down the Best Meal in Paris! We went to La Boîte Aux Lettres on the recommendation of La Frenchies, and it was AMAZING! From the onion soup to the roast chicken and the duck, served flambé, everything was absolutely delicious. The service was remarkable, too. We had made a reservation, and our table was ideal, perched right by the open window. The restaurant is small and charming, delightful in every way. Tucked away on a quiet street, removed from the busier areas of Montmartre, it was truly a wonderful find! read more

Super resto avec a super chef dans le coin . Resto tres sympa et prix tout à fait raisonnable.

I ate here today with my husband and my 2 sons for lunch while exploring the Montmarte area of Paris. It was incredible! My husband and I both chose the 2 course option and everything was delicious, fresh and full of flavor. I had the mozzarella appetizer with the salmon entree partnered with sautéed zucchini. My husband had the appetizer for Indecisives, meaning a little bit of all the options, and he loved everything- especially the gazpacho. He also thoroughly enjoyed the Tomato Tonnato. I had a bite and it was truly amazing. My sons both chose the Avocado Caesar salads and they loved it. Their Aperol Spritz was very refreshing on a hot day. The servers were all very welcoming and kind. I wish we had time to go again! Merci! read more

Had an absolutely incredible dining experience here thanks to Talia and the rest of the staff. Hospitality was wonderful, offering first if I would prefer they speak in English, French, and so forth. Talia explained the entire menu, was thoughtful, prompt, and gave great wine pairings. They are considerate of allergies, and know their menu front to back. Small, intimate, and romantic. The perfect evening, one of my favorite meals of all time. read more

We found this place when our cab dropped us off at the wrong place. A busy lunch crowd , we had to wait a few minutes and I'm so glad we did! The food was amazing. Celery soup , so creamy, a hummus appetizer that blew my mind, my daughter had an excellent cheeseburger. Staff was so nice , spoke better English than I do, lol. I've recommended this place several times to other travelers read more

La Boîte aux Lettres, which translates to "the mailbox," is in such a charming location with a wonderful, helpful, and good-looking staff (bonus!). The small dining room is filled with books and closely clustered tables with an open-ish kitchen. I made a reservation but it didn't seem necessary for lunchtime, at least on this particular day. I absolutely love that they have magnets under the table to hold the silverware down! What a cool idea! We both opted for the "lunch formula" of an appetizer and main dish. We started with the "For the Undecided," a sampler of soup, salad, and pork pâté. The green pea soup was excellent, with a tiny dollop of crème fraîche to garnish and tiny fresh peas suspended within. The salad was also lovely, a combination of arugula, fresh mozzarella, and fresh and dried tomatoes all dressed with balsamic (it was supposed to also have shaved Parmesan but that seemed to be missing). The pâté was delightful, served with a small bit of caramelized onions and a cornichon. The fresh sliced baguette served on the side was perfect with this. We enjoyed our meal with a 1/4 bottle of Chardonnay from Burgundy. It was crisp and light, and nicely complimented our meal. My mom's pollack with eggplant caviar and sautéed veggies was a winning dish! It was perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth tender! My croque madame was perfection, one of the best versions I've ever had. A single slice of bread with ham and gruyére, it wasn't too heavy, and featured an insanely crispy bread and a perfectly fried egg. Swoon! The fries and salad were good too, adding a fresh element to a heavy dish. I would absolutely hands down return here on any future trip to Paris! Try and stop me! read more

A well deserved 5-star rating and the only one I have handed out in Paris thus far. Great energy, limited seating, no pretenses. The menu is written on a chalkboard and there are is small number of options that all sound delicious. We ordered the country pate for a starter, my husband selected the piece du bouchon while I ordered the dish of the day, a Thai chicken salad. The food absolutely blew our mind. Perfect portions, cooked to perfection, packed with flavor. THIS is what we have been searching for in Paris! Take your fancy overpriced 2 and 3 star places - this is food perfection. read more

Hands down the best meal we've had in Paris ( & we've eaten a lot ) ! Intimate cafe with great customer service. We had this mushroom creamy appetizer, beef bourguignon & risotto. Dessert was equivalent to french toast with caramel sauce ...delicious & mouth-watering! Looking forward to going back. Another bonus is that it's a bit away from the main drag of other restaurants in town. Such a treat! read more

Back when I was in high school, one of my English teachers told me that the beautiful opening montage of the city in the movie Midnight in Paris would make me yearn for Paris. Rewatching the movie now, however, makes me wish I were back at this restaurant. I would eat here every day for the rest of my life if I could. It's a little off the beaten path, but that's all part of the experience, as you'll get to walk through some of Montmartre's most visually stunning cobblestone streets. La Boîte Aux Lettres is tucked away in more of a residential area, so you'll get to feel like a real Parisian (who doesn't get harassed by scammers around the Sacré-Cœur!). In fact, I think most of the other diners were locals. The restaurant's coziness is one of its greatest strengths. This comes across in the welcoming decor (from the dining area to the bathroom, you'll feel like you're visiting a close friend, who just so happens to have impeccable taste in interior design) and the service (our friendly server brought over a small chalkboard menu and explained each dish in fluent English). We had no complaints about our lunch, but the real highlight came at the end of the meal when our dessert sampler arrived. The flourless chocolate cake? Delicious. The pain perdu with caramel? Delectable. But the tiramisu with Oreos? Life-changing. read more

Amazing food! Happened upon here because we wanted a lunch and this place had some good reviews. So worth it! Love their menu with rotations and sets and even a choice for "indecisive" essentially a little bit of each. Did that for the appetizers since I wanted to try it all. Not sure I liked the pate but everything else was great. Got the steak and the pepper sauce was perfection. The fried potatoes it came with was also amazing and I dipped it with the sauce. All great. Even partner liked the Caesar salad which was really good dressing. He liked the chicken that was in the salad but unsure if he liked it together. We didn't stay for dessert since this place got super busy (apparently needed reservations?!) glad we got a chance to try this place. read more

Great meal in a sea of tourist traps! Would highly recommend this place on a relatively quiet street. The food and service were solid. The beef was a little tough but it was cooked perfectly (rare). The salmon tatar, which was the dish of the day, was outstanding. Would return for sure! read more

A restaurant that knows how to make flavors takes any of the dishes to a much higher level than normal or fantastic! I was lucky during my trip to Paris to be able to have lunch ( I am an executive chef, restaurant owner for the last 25 years in the USA rated 5 stars won many awards) and I can say it was such a memorable lunch where do I start got greeted by the owner Antoine with a great smile and very welcoming went through the menu with us ( me and my wife) the restaurant very welcoming staff super nice and on point with the service we ordered bunch of appetizers to try I could not find any issues with the food flavor presentation and how clean really exceptional then I had the steak with fries my wife had fish I can honestly say that was one of the steak I ever had I would fly back to Paris just so I can get the steak again! Really! It was an honor to meet Antoine and staff, later I met the very talented chef it was a real pleasure. I stayed five days in Paris and went to upscale restaurants one of the is a two Michelin stars and I can say that Mr Antoine restaurant food surpassed all the other meals we had in Paris! Thank you for everyone for a memorable experience and I shall come back again. read more

Fabulous! Exactly the experience we wanted on our final night in Paris... I love Montmartre but wanted to steer clear of the tourist traps on the main square (having been burned in several over the years!) so after watching the sky go dark over Paris from Sacre Coeur, we wandered away down Rue Lepic and stumbled on La Boite aux Lettres, which just happened to have one table for 4 available without a reservation, right in the window, while the rest of the restaurant was packed... serendipity! The two waitresses who helped us simply couldn't have been nicer. We were tired and hungry and they were so kind and patient, even helped all of us charge our phones which along with our energy, were similarly drained after another day of touring the sights. Menu is thankfully small (we were in no mood for lengthy complicated decisions!) and everything on it looked delicious. We tried 3 different main courses between us: the chicken, the dorade and the burgers. All absolutely perfect. My fish over vegetables tasted heavenly and was clearly made with love and pride. We shared the "indecisive" dessert (a selection of their 3 most popular offerings) and some fragrant white wine by the carafe, about which our waitress was super patient, letting us taste a couple options first. All in all a happy find and perfect spot, 100% recommended. read more

When I knew I was going to explore Montmarte I wanted to find a good spot for lunch. I definitely hit the jackpot here! I came in for lunch and I did not have a reservation. After a little wait I was able to get a table in this cozy restaurant. The staff here is amazing! Luca went through the entire menu and I went with his favorites and he did not steer me wrong. I had the beet salad to start followed by the Veal. The beef with foie gras looked amazing, but since I had steak last night for dinner and I wanted a light lunch, I went with the veal. It was so tender and filled with flavor. I am going to try and make it back here for dinner before I leave for the beef. Another Yelp winner! Oh so good. read more

**BEST TIRAMISU IN MONTMARTRE** Ate here twice because it was so friendly and reasonably-priced. AMBIANCE ========= Cozy and charming. A bit casual for lunch, a bit dressy for dinner. Specials on the black board. FOOD ===== **CARTE DU MIDI (2 items)** Connie and I shared the appetizer and dessert to keep the special-priced menu of $30USD per person. TERRINE DE CAMPAGNE Very generous with 2 slabs and some pickles. Slapped it on the provided fresh baguettes and it was heaven. RATING: 5/5 STEAK AND FRITES The steak was good, but not great. Wished it was more tender. Also had better frites, but overall, it wasn't bad. RATING: 3.5/5 TIRAMISU SPECULOOS Favorite tasting tiramisu of all-time. The flavor, the texture, perfect. RATING: 5/5 PRO TIPS ======== Make advance reservations or come by at 6PM to avoid the 8PM rush. BYOB = 5 euros corkage OVERALL ======== Very reasonably-priced lunch and dinner. Great for small groups or couples. Should be 2 euro sign and not 3 as indicated. HIGHLY RECOMMEND in the Montmartre area. read more

Fabulous little bistro - prepare to walk uphill to get there. I recommend making reservations (which you can do online). If there aren't any vegetarian items, they can make you something. (Vegans should steer clear- like most places in France, its dairy-heavy). We paid €90 for 3 courses plus 2 glasses of wine & a modest tip. Portions were generous. The staff was friendly and happy to explain the menu in English to us. I loved the lentil soup, while my boy couldn't resist the trio of starters, which included a scallop carpaccio. Make sure to get desserts - the chocolate cake was perfection and the tiramisu delightful! read more

Okay, I'm going to tell you about this place as long as you promise not to ruin it. Don't ruin it, people, this place is brilliant. The atmosphere is adorable and charming, the service is friendly (and hot), the food is fantastic (coffee, croissants...). We walked over from the Basilique Sacre Coeur and found it off a side street that wasn't swarmed with tourists. They let us take our time and for 18€ each, we had the most amazing brunch. A tartine of glorious baguette and butter, pain au chocolat, eggs royale and eggs benedict... we took our time, we had two coffees, I ate so much baguette and butter I refused to stop... Clearly, local French people love this place since most of the reviews here are from French speakers and it's not that discovered by tourists yet, it seems. Don't make me regret this. I love this place. Go to this place. But be smooth about it. ;) read more

When meandering though Sacre Coeur I found this wonderful little place filled with people laughing enjoying the spoils of a life well lived. All I wanted was something sweet and a cappuccino. What I received was a quick lesson in hospitality. I love it when that happens when someone takes the time to be genuine. That's when I want to spend all my money with them. They write everything on blackboards in the restaurant. So he pulled up the dessert and wine board and chatted though the menu. I ordered the tiramisu and the oh sh#* I forget. It was like a Neapolitan but thinner pastry and lighter filled with a velvety cream with dots of chocolate. Both were grand and so was the cappuccino! On the display shelves are numerous cook books for you to peruse. The back wall has the making of a cork wall, very fun. Of course post cards pinned about. If you stop by come in read a bit laugh and just be. Oh I said that like its my home...that's how you'll feel I'm sure they won't mind. read more

Take a moment of reprieve from the crowds that gather at the steps of Sacré-Cœur Basilica and instead wander into the winding cobblestone streets of Montmartre. You'll find La Boîte aux Lettres, with its unassuming exterior and charming handwritten menu, on a quieter street free from souvenir shops and hordes of tourists. The dining area is composed of one room on the ground level and a few tables on the floor below, bordered by charming stone walls lined with bookshelves that yield a welcoming, cozy, and homey ambiance. With a menu that changes frequently so only the freshest ingredients end up on your plate, it's hard to go wrong with this classic French dinner spot. I savored the filet de lieu with artichoke and hazelnut, which was cooked to perfection and served on a bed of lusciously creamy potatoes. As a longtime pescatarian, I've had my fair share of fish in my lifetime, and this was certainly one of my favorites. This reviewer can never leave an establishment without a little something sweet, and so I ordered up the apple crumble before heading out. The topping was perfectly golden brown and buttery, while the apples brought me straight home to my neighborhood orchard. For a taste of Montmartre in an elegant setting with delightful staff, La Boîte aux Lettres is a seamless addition to any travel itinerary. read more

I had dinner here on my last night in Paris and believe me, it made it so much harder to get on the plane back to the US the next morning. I found this restaurant via The Fork and made a reservation. Eating here was like eating at a friend's house. The dining room is intimate and cozy - the shelves are lined with books and jars of candy. The chalkboard on the wall details the wine list and menu. My waitress delivered a smaller chalkboard to the table and walked me through the entire menu. To start I had the terrine la campagne. Two big slabs with salad, pickles and onion relish all served on a slate. Wow - this was delicious! This was the best terrine I've ever had. For my main course, I selected the chili con carne. The presentation was beautiful. Rice in the center, with beef and kidney beans circling that. Red onion, cucumbers, tomatoes and sour cream completed the dish, along with a dusting of fresh cilantro. For dessert I chose "les indecis," a trio for the undecided. It was tiramisu with oreos, flourless chocolate cake and pain perdue with caramel. All were outstanding! One of the highlights of my week in Paris. A great neighborhood gem. read more

One of the best overall meals I ate in Paris. Every course was excellent and not over priced. We got the sampler appetizer which includes beef tartare, beet soup and feta tomatoes salad and also ordered the foie gras. Main course was tuna (done perfectly) with a tahini sauce and vegetables. Sampler dessert platter was just enough. Make sure to make an online reservation or you will not be seated. read more
