I've been wanting to go here and finally we went on a perfect sunny day in Paris. We opted to sit outside and the server was very kind and pleasant checked on us numerous times would love to come back here again. We just had a snack. We had some crepes with Nutella, french fries and some refreshments. Ambiance inside was casual and their washroom was very clean.
if you're in Paris, you NEED to visit Montmartre, a quaint & lovely neighborhood on a hill where you can also get a view of the city! this spot has the prettiest exterior and a comforting vibe inside w/ super friendly service. french onion soup was light (not as thick as what i'm used to) and the linguine was unexpectedly so good (loved the mushrooms). the mussels were small but i actually preferred the size bc they were more tender & flavorful. and of course the creme brulee didn't disappoint!! what we ordered: - linguine w/ basil and mushroom cream - moules frites (mussels with french fries) - french onion soup - side salad - dessert: creme brulee
Oui oui oui! This was the hang out of Picasso, Toulouse Lautrec n more aristocrats. For those who don't know Henri Toulouse-Lautrec was a French artist, synonymous with the image of an absinthe-soaked, bohemian 19th century Paris. A nightlife-loving aristocrat, he was a VIP at the Moulin Rouge n the novel n. movie was inspired by his life as a bon vivant. There were more ads on Instagram on Maison Rose than Le Consulat so we went to Maison Rose, the nasty server yelled at us so we left n came here, lucky us, this wonderful restaurant had such vibes I felt so welcome n relaxed. We ordered a soupe à l'oignon (onion soup) 12euros, so good escargots looked so cute! They were good too, we had ice cream with an amazing home made Chantilly (whipped cream) the dude sitting next to me had a steak I wanted it so bad but my husband said to save my hunger to eat at la crémaillère which turned out to be no longer good I wrote a review. The service was impeccable, leConsulat is an iconic restaurant in the heart of Montmartre n it's not to be missed.
The food was just okay. Not bad and not extraordinary. The onion soup was a bit salty. The escargot was a bit dry and not luscious or to die for. The best part of the alfresco table was the music and dancing on the street right in the heart of Montmartre. Le Consulat is always worth a one-time dining experience ( even if the service was slow and the food so-so when we were there) for its part in the history of bohemian Paris in the time of the famous impressionists and other greats of Art and Literature.
What can one say about Le Consulat that hasn't been said before? We stopped here for midday snacks & wine and had a great time watching some street musicians who were actually talented. A must-stop when in Montmartre.
An unbeatable combination; amazing food, impeccable, service, and a small café experience that can't be duplicated by a larger restaurant! It goes without saying that a café probably frequented by Picasso, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gogh is a MUST to visit and dine in for any art lover. It's situated in the Montmartre district which provides you a respite from the hustle and bustle of Paris, perfect for an after meal stroll through its storied neighborhood. Much has already been said about its impressive menu, so I'll just mention the flambéed Grand Marnier crêpes for dessert was amazing!
Craving mussels. And of course the need to hike up Montmartre. Moules was posted on a sign out front, so we go in. As many Paris restaurants the seating is tight and especially at the lunch rush in a touristy area. The service was good. French / English menu not a problem. The mussels were ok. The wine broth didn't really have enough flavor. The bites were small. The frites were perfectly hot, crispy outside and tender inside. Nice restaurant, but would recommend finding a different selection on the menu.
Well the location is #1. I ordered my fav dishes here well becuz i'm in Paris and I absolutely love the Montmartre neighborhood. Ooh la la. escargot was ok - could have had more sauce french onion soup was watery - is it supposed to be like this in France? watery? I have had better french onion soup in America. bread was decent water was delicious. I wanted to have bubbly but they didn't have Prosecco. I know I know I'm in France I'm supposed to order champagne but didn't feel like having French bubbly at the time . Staff was superb and fantastic Minus the 1 star for the sad food.
Thinking about my favorite memories of our trip to Paris, and Le Consulate lands a top spot on the list. Le Consulat is historic - and there is something so magical about dining in this tiny restaurant where some of the world's greatest artist found themselves often. I'm talking Van Gough, Monet, Picasso...wow. It's located down the street from the plaza of artists in Montmartre and it is really charming. I recommend sitting outside - even on a cold day, it's just kind of entrancing to watch people walk down the streets. Of course I started with a Vin Chaud. I became obsessed with hot, mulled wine during my trip and if you go when it's chilly to France - you MUST have Vin Chaud all the time. I ordered the mussels - which came with amazing fries. Didn't love the mussels - maybe they got cold too fast because we were outside, I don't know. BUT the other food I stole from my boo was excellent. The French Onion soup was to die for, and so was the plate of sliced ham with bread. This is a place where you stay awhile. Don't expect an in and out lunch. But with the people watching, good company, and a nice glass of wine - you won't ever want to leave!
TLDR: a nice little restaurant next to the artist square. _____ This place is historic and has been visited by many famous artists when they visited Paris. Notable names include Picasso, Van Gogh, and Monet, and now include Blue Arauz. Add that to your roster Le Consulat! A cold, cloudy day, so of course we sat outside. Amazing people watching. The cars going down the narrow road made for some intense moments as well. But with a glass of wine and basket of bread, this was one of the most perfect meals I've ever had. An incredible afternoon mixing ambiance, good food, excellent service and surreal moments of "Am I really here?" Onion soup - this was excellent and really warmed my soul on this chilly day! Jambon - A plate of ham. With bread. Hell yes. Mussels - didn't love these, but we wanted to order something different. They were good, but wish we had gone with something else. Wine - of course wine. A nice house wine was affordable and delicious. Overall this was an EXCELLENT lunch.
A cute little cafe in Montmarte. I like their crepe and hot choco. The owner or maybe the people working here are really nice too.
We were seated quickly. The servers were nice and our food was good. We would come back here.
Tourist trap! Crowded. Table are so close together, they almost made us share a bread basket. Service was nice. Food not so great. It's located near the church in Montmartre. It's a great place to grab a coffee and people watch in the outdoor seating.
This place has some history, having been frequented my Belle Epoque artists like Picasso and Monet. Overall, lovely decor and good food. The food wasn't tourist trash, but not magnificent, either. The fries were crispy and wonderful, the duck breast was done decently, the salad a bit overdressed. The server didn't seem to understand wine pairings when I asked for a recommendation, but not a big issue. The vibe was off this Thursday afternoon. I was seated outside and a lot of tourists were walking around, giving it a bustling energy, but not in a good way. The waitstaff was clearly understaffed so getting a menu, ordering, paying, was all slow. Moreover, they moved with a frenetic quality that made me anxious. They were courteous and lovely, though, when they finally found time to interact with me or other patrons around me. Bathrooms: Just one tiny one in the back. Very clean and nice. There was always a long line, alas. read more

Yeah, I came directly to Le Consulat because of seeing it on IG and have absolutely no shame admitting it. Got some good photos, too. We dined inside and it was tiiiight. But everything was so good. We stayed for over two hours because their Rose' was amazing. The service was typical for Paris but not bad, just not great. I got a little tipsy and just marveled at being in Montmartre in Paris. Great memories were made that day! read more

Le Consulat..horrible service, horrible food... but their apricot juice was the bomb and only reason they get stars.we were seated and forgotten about. They finally decided to take our order. Capes, espresso and apricot juice. The drapes tasted like it had been microwaved. It tasted old and blah. It was like microwaved bread with a splat of nutella. The espresso was solid and the apricot juice out of this world delicious. I don't think they care much for service This area has a high tourism and all they want is your money. Get you in and out quick. read more

Very iconic street view of the Montmartre district. We stopped in front of Le Consulat just to get a photo, but then it started pouring! So we wondered in for food and a drink. The staff was very friendly and quick to seat us. After a week in Paris, the food was okay here compared to other restaurants we tried. French onion soup broth was plain. The fiance was craving a burger of all things. It was a big portion, but nothing to write home about. read more
This place was definitely on my Paris checklist! I'm so glad I came here. I came at a good time as well, only one couple was inside the restaurant at the time, so it was pretty quiet. We were greeted right away, the server spoke great English and took our drinks order. My daughter had some questions about the menu and he was very helpful. I order the onion soup and the steak, and I was not disappointed. The soup was hot, and it was full of flavor. After I was done with my soup, my steak came out and it was delicious. It came with salad and French fries. The salad was fresh, and the fries were hot and crispy. I was not disappointed by this place and I was glad I got to enjoy it, specially because of it's history and location. Beautiful Montmartre. read more

Not surprisingly, there are quite a lot of cafes in the narrow streets that make up Montmatre, and just to think I might never have actually ended up here if not for some random wanderings of Google maps and noticing that there were a collection of bars (and museums) around here. Anyway, we ended up here as we finished off at the Museum Montmatre, and were looking for a place to rab something to eat. However this place wasn't going to be such a place and instead I simply stopped off here for a coffee. It was okay, and had a rather charming atmosphere as well, and being in the narrow streets added to that. read more

Perfect ambiance and location. Wait staff very polite and fast. Food was yummy! I think that the food often tastes better when you are having a wonderful experience. The outdoor curb seating in the warm sunshine, the (cute and charming) accordion player entertaining us, and it's Montmartre in Paris! I could have stayed there forever. I seriously could have been fed a McDonald's burger and been happy...but the food actually WAS delicious. We shared the mussels and fries and French onion soup, very tasty and generous portions! The rose' made it the most perfect lunch. It was funny, when the mussels were delivered with a fancy cover, the boyfriend removed the cover and our waiter freaked! He was afraid the mussels would spill out over the table. But they didn't, phew, that would have been tragic! Drama Queen, too cute. I would definitely return here! I absolutely loved it! With an entire month of traveling and eating out daily, this experience definitely ranks in the top 3! read more

Our last day in Paris was up in Montmartre and rainy. We stopped here for onion soup which we both got. My guy also had a Croque Monsieur which is really a ham and cheese sandwich grilled. He liked it. I loved the onion soup. And they were accomodatiing to English speakers. Adorable little restaurant. Super clean and friendly staff(although they each went outside to smoke). What is it with smokers in Paris? Didn't they get the cancer memo?). read more

We stumbled upon this place after visiting Sacre Coure. It is in a cute neighborhood of alleys just up from the church. The service was great and friendly. The mussels we had we're cooked great. The spaghetti bolognese was fantastic with great flavor. The french onion soup was a bit different than I am used to as the broth was more of a light color and a bit more salty than sweet. All in all we loved our stop here read more

Seriously, the cutest and coziest restaurant in Montmarte! Host & staff were very hospitable and welcoming as they cracked a few jokes here and there throughout our meal. Food was great, highly recommend the duck confit, croque madame, and the frites we're so crisp! Overall great experience, merci Le Consulat! Ordered: duck confit, croque madame, croque monsieur (not pictured), beef bolognese (not pictured), onion soup & escargot read more

A very nice lunch stop in Montmartre. The outdoor tables were shaded, so we sat comfortably indoors. read more
Le Consulat is in the Montmartre district and it is nestled up a winding cobblestone street, very picturesque. We came in to a warm inviting restaurant and choose a seat. There were some lovely tables outside, but it was a bit cool and there were smokers. So we chose to sit inside. We hadn't eaten in a while and ordered too much food! We ordered a cheese plate that had creamy Brie, some blue cheese and a cheese similar to Brie, but had a black walnut taste. It was delicious, but would have left that off after tasting the rest of our food. We shared a crock of french onion soup. The soup was warm savory goodness with hunks of bread and melted gooey cheese. So delicious! We shared Croque-Monsieur and it is similar to grilled cheese, but so much better! There were thin slices of ham in between two pieces of bread and then the bubbly cheese on top. To finish we had a chocolate mousse and it was better than Devine. It was light and creamy and rich. If you are a chocolate lover, I highly suggest making room for this dessert. It was comfort food at it's best. read more
