outside of the restaurant
Olivia H.

We had been walking around Monmartre all morning and were starving. I was a bit worried that this place would be touristy, but the food was so good! The servers were very kind and helpful, they brought out some pretzels for us to snack on before our meals. My mother got the special of the day- a quiche with vegetables and goat cheese. I've never liked quiche before (I'm not a fan of eggs) but this was delicious! I was so surprised. I had a dish that was like something from a dream of Paris from when I was young- a wheel of camembert. A small, baked wheel of camembert with garlic and toasted bread, alongside fresh roasted vegetables and salad with that delightful dijon vinaigrette. It was a wonderful meal. We sat outside and enjoyed people-watching on the picturesque street.

Cheese fondueee
Tania L.

Sister had mad cravings for cheese, and we decided that since we're in the land of cheesy goodness, why not have some fondue while we're at it? And yes, I realize that it was in the middle of summer and CRAZY HOT so we were indeed a little out of our minds. We hiked up half the summit of Montmartre for this restaurant, right when it was just opening for the night. The four of us ordered a set meal with avocado salad, beef bourguignon, and vanilla and chocolate ice cream, along with a cheese fondue mixed meat portion for two, and a creme brulee to share. The avocado salad came with slightly too much dressing, but was extremely generous! There was an entire avocado fanned out on a bed of greens. The beef bourguignon, however, was weak and awfully watery. It lacked any sort of rich beef flavour, and was way too salty for my tastes. That being said, the creme de la creme was the fondue! It consisted of ooey gooey goodness, and you could tell that they did NOT skimp out on cheese (the entire cheese set once the fire was distinguished). It was buttery, rich, and soooooo sinful. The meats and baguettes were delightful to eat when paired with the cheese, and the pickles helped offer a tangy palette cleanse inbetween bites. The flaming creme brulee was also amazing! They literally come and set the entire surface on fire, and the creme brulee is perfectly set. Not too sweet, but very dense and tasty!

Bone Marrow

When in Paris...we were walking around Montmarte, and it appeared many restaraunts were either closed or we may have been eating an early dinner compared to the locals. The restaraunt staff did not speak much English but that was not a problem. We ended up ordering bone marrow, escargot, and frog legs. I must say the combo was very heavg, wish I opted for some lighter options. It is a fairly small restaraunt so I felt like we were a little too close to the couple sitting next to us and being watched by the kitchen staff which made it uncomfortable at times...

This place was a blast !! Me and my GF where so happy ! We got the 23 € menu with appetizers and main course and dessert !! All was so good ! The fondue bourguignonne was just outstanding !!!! The location it's cozy and really nice

Strawberry tart
Ashley R.

This place is great - my fiancé and I arrived exhausted and jet lagged and not speaking much french at all, but the hostess/waitress was very friendly, patient and accommodating. We ended up at a long table seated next to a very nice Italian family and ate delicious cheese fondue and fresh strawberry tarts for dessert. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Paris!

Onion soup

The food was delicious! I had the onion soup and racliflette with mushrooms. Food was amazing and incredible service!

Exterior, rainy day in March.
Chris M.

Not what we were expecting, but it was cold and windy outside and so warm and inviting inside. The fondue was excellent, ad was the beer. This was a Montmartre experience we did not plan or expect, but it made the day special. Highly recommend.

the aftermath of our meal
Shawn T.

We came here for dinner after spending time walking around Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. There was quite a wait and the male server who acknowledged seemed somewhat rude when he told us to wait outside the door. About 20 minutes went by and they finally seated us at a very crowded table wedged between the service area and the kitchen. No doubt it was the worst table in the restaurant but we didn't want to wait any longer for another option. I think the lady who served us was actually the owner and she was much nicer than the gentleman who greeted us. Our food was quite good, portions were generous. We would definitely have enjoyed the experience more had we had better seating. This is a small and cramped restaurant; they have long bench style seating so expect to share a table with others if your party is small.

Delicious raclette meal for two with dessert. Also came with aperitifs.

These smaller bistro type eateries are the lifeblood of the local cuisine. They consistently offer reasonably priced dishes that are full of flavor and technique. The wine and drink options are well catered to the menu and they provide options for most price points. The service we experienced was exactly what you want... our server had plenty of suggestions based on the offerings of the day. The service was attentive and responsive... not much more than you could ask for. I had the duck breast being offered... it was served alongside crispy potatoes, green beans, and a salad. Adding in the onion soup and a glass of wine... it quickly became a King's dinner at a very reasonable price. I would be more than happy to eat here again and look forward to exploring the rest of the menu offering many local and classic French options.

This fall (2026), I shall return to Paris and that dish is on my hit list for sure. In fact, I may order 2! Service was very personable. Small place but the largest table had 6 locals who livened up the joint. Americans planning to be in Paris Sept 28-30 hit me up we'll meet for din din. Zig

Making a reservation isn't hard but you do need to email them and there's no online booking system. You also have to confirm again 1-2 days before. I understand they are small with a limited number of tables so that's fair and it seemed like everyone showed up even though they don't require a deposit. On a Friday night, it didn't appear there was much chance or walking in although there were like 2 open seats at what would have been a shared table. The menu is small and includes some typical French starters, steaks, 3 non steak entrees, cheeses, and dessert. All steaks come with potatoes, 3 sauces, salad. Service was a highlight. The waiter was personable and funny, had solid recommendations, and made sure leftovers were taken home. Also had a solid wine recommendation after asking some questions. They probably get a lot of people who don't speak French and they had no problem speaking English. The food- ordered a ribeye medium rare. The steak was so so charred on the outside and it almost ruined the whole thing. I really wish they would have charred it way less especially when it was ordered medium rare. There is seared and then there is burnt; this was sadly the latter. The steak itself was fine, honestly nowhere near the best meat I have had but the price is quite reasonable for how much you get. I would say the steak was maybe 6/10 for me, largely due to the cooking. The fries were phenomenal. Definitely a highlight and really tasty and with a great texture. Salad was good, pretty typical. I wanted to like the sauces more but found them just okay. The best by far for me was the blue cheese sauce but even this one I thought the flavors could have popped a little more. Atmosphere was fun, there were a few bigger groups (6-8 which is the biggest they accommodate) but it never got unreasonably loud. Overall I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed even though the service and fries were both great.

On our final night in Paris, we were looking for a good restaurant near our hotel and I stumbled…read moreupon Sacrée Fleur. It's a tiny restaurant, so if you're a party of two, you might share a table with others, but they have spacers so you don't feel like you're eating together. Reservations were easy to make. You email in your requested sitting and someone will get back to you shortly. We were able to get in a little ahead of schedule and start the adventure. Wines were reasonably priced and they had a good variety of cocktails. We hadn't had French onion soup on our trip, so we ordered it as an appetizer. Sometimes it can get a little salty, but these were very well blended. Sacree Fleur seems to be known for their steak and frites, so we ordered the steak for two. Steak comes out on a sizzling platter. You can turn the pieces over to keep cooking until your preferred temperature. It was quite succulent and the fries were well prepared. There are two dipping sauces and some salt to season your meal. We hadn't a great time and way too much food :)

We were so looking forward to the frog legs, onion soup and other delicacies pictured. We got there and the sign was just as it was with the same name -- Au Pied du Sacre Coeur. We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup. He looked confused and just said no. Out of respect for him, we just ordered the charcuterie, which featured stale bread and a few slices of meat taken from my local grocery store in the U.S. Also -- they claimed to not accept any international credit cards. WHAT HAPPENED? Are all these reviews fake? Most likely, they underwent new ownership right when we visited. But new visitors -- please beware. Do not trust any of the reviews before mine. If I was mistaken, please post photos and just tell me that I was part of some elaborate joke to ruin a lunch for me and my wife.

That's not acceptable. The food, however, was. Hence my difficulty in giving one rating. Our 3 dishes tried were indeed solid. Generous servings of seafood in the bouillabaisse, and I have no qualms whatsoever with my cuise de grenouille and foie gras salads. Bread kept us alive. The free Cote du Rhône glass was appreciated for check-in! Our server had his head permanently at a 30 degree angle, staring at his mobile. Tis a shame. But he was friendly ( oh, and easy on the eyes). I liked the quiet location out of the chaotic fray, like up the street, with all its smoking and volume. PS This is lover's type of location. Even the dark end of the small street feels illicit!
