Mokko is exactly what we were looking for! Ideally located at the foot of Montmartre, stepping into Mokko has the warm feel one might cherish after skiing in the Alps. The kitchen is front and center in this tiny restaurant. The dining room has a bright glow with wine bottles decorating the walls and delighted chatter from diners illuminating the atmosphere.
The menu is written on a chalkboard, which the waiter carries around, and it's as simple as can be, with a couple appetizers, entrees, and desserts each. Still can't decide? No problem; the chef offers his own suggested combination, which amounted to 4 courses for a measly 40 euros or so. My girlfriend, a vegetarian (and non-Francophone) who wasn't sure about her options had her own unique courses crafted with seeming excitement from the staff. And the dishes were absolutely fantastic. All were very simply, with a fairly short list of ingredients apparent. But they were as good as anything either of us had ever eaten.
If you went to Mokko as a 3 Michelin star restaurant, charging 150 euros per person, you would not be the slightest bit disappointed in your experience here. But it's not, and it's, on the contrary, extremely accessible to anyone (we somehow didn't even need reservations). I cannot recommend Mokko highly enough. It's as good as it gets and I could eat there every day. read more
