Au Cadet de Gascogne

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food! Such a lovely spot with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. I had the sea bream stuffed with vegetables — honestly the best fish dish I’ve ever had! The sauce was absolute perfection. My husband really enjoyed his salad too, with grapefruit and salmon — fresh and full of flavour. The service was friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

Food was good, but the service completely ruined the experience. We had just finished our meal and were still sitting for a while, and the staff immediately brought the bill and told us there were “many people waiting,” basically asking us to leave. We had ordered a lot, even desserts, and my family was still taking turns going to the washroom. When we walked out, there was no queue and many empty tables upstairs. Very rude and disappointing service not worth the price paid.

We simply LOVE this place!!! Happened upon this place many years ago and fell in love with it. We go to Paris yearly & this is a must go every time. The food is great & the hospitality top notch. My husband swears, & I do agree, this place serves the BEST onion soup in all of France 🥰

We stopped in expecting mediocre tourist fare and were pleasantly surprised. We dined outside had excellent moules and fries and onion soup. We had a good bottle of wine l They were both excellent . Would definitely recommend

Highly recommend! Went there on my last night in Paris. Very good food and very good service. I loved the surrounding area as well. Restaurant nicely decorated inside. Go here for a nice time.

Situated at probably the most beautiful square nearby the sacre coeur the atmosphere was very lively. We were seated outside on the frontage of the restaurant looking over the square. If I had to describe it the restaurant looked clean and well taken care of with a good deal of spirit. The food did not only look great it was very tasty too and it didn't feel too expensive even near one of Paris' more touristic spots. The portions were fairly generous but definitely not too much. We received our meals fairly quickly after having received a portion of bread. The service was quite speedy and above all very friendly to enhance the lively atmosphere and this despite it being busy. In the end, a most enjoyable visit.

One of the best experience in Paris. My family will never forget the memories that were made here. The music, the food and the people, everything was perfect. Whenever we go to Paris, we will come here.

4.5 stars The restaurants in the main square take over the actual square and have lots of outdoor seating to handle the influx of tourists. Seating was fast. Bathrooms are still inside the main restaurant. Wifi is free. And food came out fast considering. My food appeared to be a touch warm then it was hotter than the sun when I moved one bite in. Salmon was great. I should have sent the fries back as they gave me the end tips that were all burned. Next guys fries looked great. Other than the fry gate.. a very good meal.

Went with my family after visiting Monmartre and decided to dine in. Our server Steven (I believe that was his name) was incredible! Fast service, ambiance was great (they had a young lady singing on the piano). Food was good, definitely recommend the escargots, first time trying it! couldn't ask for better, shoutout steven! would suggest a visit at least once! ps. get the meal where they have appetizer entree and dessert. french onion soup was pretty good!

We dined with a very large group of people and then about a week later I returned for a luncheon with a smaller group. Both times the service was very excellent as well as the food. I enjoyed the beef bourguignon and an egg salad and also on my next visit Escargot and the onion soup. The onion soup wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped it might be, but it was still good. We shared a gelato and cookie dessert with hot chocolate pour over the top. It was amazing. Whether you sit inside or outside, both are a wonderful experience.

+ Great ambience. Guy playing the piano was so goooood!!! + Friendly servers/staff. Great service! + Salmon with ratatouille and Chocolate Mousse were PERFECTO! Probably the best chocolate mousse I've ever had!!! It was that good. + Steak (beef) was a little tough. They also charged so much for a glass of drink (7 euro)!! You must visit this restaurant when visiting Montmartre!

Cute little place in montmartre. The mussel tasted great but we couldn't finish because there were so many. We sat outside but it was so crowded. Oysters were really good also. I would visit again if I come back to Paris.

More downs than ups on our recent dinner. We dropped in on a rainy night and were seated quickly. The waiter was very nice but absent for long times - maybe because they were hosting a large group upstairs? I don't know really. We ordered the onion soup which was pretty decent. We tried the large shrimp starter and the shrimp were mushy and inedible. The duck confit was decent. The quinoa salad (with added goat cheese) pretty good. We each got a glass of wine and the pour was pretty light. I know it's located in a very touristy area but we hoped for more.

This seems like a super well-known area of Paris up the hill of Montmartre. I even have a coaster with this cafe painted next to the iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica de Montmartre, so you know it's worth checking out! It's sort of a tourist trap in that the food and drinks are expensive, and I honestly only ate here because of the Paris GoCity Pass. The pass included a glass of champagne and variety of small bites, which was super fun to enjoy at this bougie cafe. I'm sure it varies what you get, but we enjoyed some pastries, creme brûlée, fresh fruit, and coffee ice cream. Everything for afternoon snack was delicious but I probably wouldn't have a meal here.

Had a Paris City Pass for a complimentary glass champagne along with dessert. The dessert was so delicious that I decided to have lunch there. I had fish and chips, it was delicious and fresh. The weather was perfect while eating, so the windows were retractable to the open air. Because place with prompt service.

Stopped in for lunch - right on artist square. Fun wait staff and very nice decor. In the morning sun outside so a great spot. Had ribeye and fries, French onion soup and the chocolate mousse. All were solid with the mouse being very good. Reasonable prices for where it is. Great menu with a mix of cuisines.

Stop and go to this magnificent restaurant in the city, great french ambience and amazing prices for food. The service was excellent. Would recommend

Busy place but waiters are on it! Outdoor seats, Sun not to bad! Bread comes with food and had wine and beer

Best oysters I've had in a while and awesome selection of wine. Awesome location in the Square and perfect before or after Basilica of Sacré Coeur de Montmartre. Good service and I like the ambiance.

We had a very disappointing meal at ACDG. Started with escargot which were average. One person in my party had the oysters which were delicious. No cooking or preparation involved in that. Another person has the mussels meunière. Those were small and very bland. They were definitely cooked in mostly water and vegetables. There was some wine in it, but not much. Then, I had the steak tartare which tasted sweet. It had been prepared with added sugar, but I saw or tasted no cornichons, onions or capers. When I asked for cornichons and mayonnaise on the side, the waiter got cheeky and asked whether I wanted ketchup and mustard as well!!! Seriously!!! I believe he said that because he thought I was American, which I'm not, but I was offended on behalf of the Americans. The fries were overcooked also. I will say that the portions were generous. That would have been great if the food was palatable. So the food wasn't good and the service wasn't either. The waiter never checked whether we wanted anything else to drink after we had finished our beers. Not impressed and I definitely wouldn't recommend.

Too expensive, bad food and rude staff. Don't spend your money here when there are so many decent local options close by !

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! We stopped in because we were in the area and hungry but quickly regretted our decision. We ordered some fries for the table which were absolutely disgusting. Undercooked & zero salt. Our server upcharged us on water too. Final bill for a salad & fries with water was 40€. Yep. 40€. Don't fall for their trap!!!

Sometimes it's about the service and other times it's about the food. That's not the case with Au Cadet de Gascogne. It's the people watching. If you're in Paris and near any touristy place the. You already know the cold hard truth. Overpriced and lackluster gastronomy. My companions enjoyed their lunch and my espresso was okay but the people watching was undeniably fabulous. This location is right next to Place du Tertre where artists come to paint and sell their works of art. Au Cadet has been featured in countless number of artists renderings making it a famous destination. We warriors around 11:00am and our waiter was friendly and professional even though he had to deal with my father's butchered French idioms. Thankful,my aunt and my mother saved the day by speaking their native French. It didn't take long for the army of tourists to start their campaign from both ends. There are those that come up via Rue Norvins and then there are the others that come from Sacre-Coeur. The convergence happens at Au Cadet. As one can imagine there are tourists from all over the world. Some of them are truly blessed to be here and there are others that are gawking like it's a strike-through on a bucket list. Occasionally there's a vehicle that attempts to make it through the throngs of humanity It's complete lunacy to say the least. A couple of tips. 1. Remember that the artists do not like up close pics of their works of art but a pic from a table at Au Cadet makes a fantastic panoramic view of Place du Tertre 2. In most European cities, one can't simply walk into a business and use the toilets. So if you need to use, you'll need to order something. 3. The kettle metal round tables - although quaint and typical are extremely wobbling - watch your valuables and your expresso Even though we were there for an hour or two, there wasn't a rush from our waiter to turn our table over but we were a group of 8 that mostly likely dropped about 120 bucks. So be mindful if you only order an espresso. Definitely recommend Au Cadet for a moment to catch your breath and take in Montmartre.

Our tour group had dinner at this place. As much as we wanted an outdoor seating, on this visit, inside dining was the the only choice. I enjoyed a glass of traditional French cocktail no idea what was it called but close to a white wine. Started my dinner with the famous French escargot- delicious as it was full of flavor. Then my salmon which was perfectly done for me served as my entree. What a better way to end my meal but with cream brûlée for dessert. The dining experience was lovely and exceeded my expectations. The dinner was accompanied by live traditional French music. The service was great. Our server speaks English and was much easier to communicate. The dining ambiance was pleasant. The location is so perfect - right there at the footsteps of the Sacred Heart Basilica's. Lots of markets, restaurants, shops are nearby that will make worth the visit.

An excellent place to people watch up at Montmartre! It's right in front of all the artists who are drawing and painting! I ordered the escargot! They were drenched in a garlic butter sauce! We also ordered a charcuterie tray which came with brie, swiss, ham, prosciutto, and an unidentifiable merat I refused to sample. It reminded me of head cheese from a NY deli. I tried a 1664 draft beer, it was nice! A pleasant afternoon in France!

This is a good place for a quick stop on the way of sightsee. It's not the best French food but it's has snail food gras and French onion soup

Beware tourist trap. Sadly one of the least satisfying meals we had in Paris. The frog legs were delicious but the French onion soup was salty and just smothered in cheese. Our waiter was nice but overwhelmed and spilled a couple drinks on us with no offering of anything to make up for being splashed w cocktails. Then it took forever for entrees to come to point where we considered saying nevermind. The mussels are gross with no sauce at all and I'm now worried about food poisoning. Fries also just full of grease and crunchy (not in a good way). Duck confit overly sweet. They work hard but overall you could get better food anywhere. To top it off our meal was 125 so not cheap

Out of everything we ordered their French onion soup was the best. I would come here for their soup!

Garden seating was nice but the waiter pulled the "tip isn't included". Even if it was just that one guy I'll be staying away on principle in the future.

A friend and I enjoyed our time here as a pit stop during a morning visit to Sacre Coeur. The place was delightful, nestled in the middle of a small market with trinkets and paintings. I can't wait to go back. The food didn't blow me away however, the service was nice and the ambiance is lovely. I enjoyed it and will definitely seek out to check it out again for a coffee to glass of wine. The server was friendly and patience as we didn't speak French only German and English however, we ordered without complication and enjoyed our time.

Okay, this place is a restaurant, but they are more than happy to serve you, and even let you sit at one of the tables, if you simply want a coffee, as I happened to at the time. Mind you, one of the main reasons was because of its location, and looking out of the the Place Tertre, even if it is raining, is an experience. The staff were quite friendly, and the coffee pretty decent as well. However, unless you know about Montmatre it can be quite difficult to find since it is hidden away in the back streets, even though it happens to be on a square. However, it is a lovely place that is certainly worth spending some time at relaxing with a drink.

Beautiful view of the market, friendly and diverse staff, prompt service, and decent food! It was a great experience!

A cute restaurant that my group and I stumbled upon. The food was great! We had the escargot, salmon pasta, and fish soup! We were immediately seated right next to the host stand and it was nice being able to people watch while we had our dinner. It was a rather busy night, but the food came out in a timely manner!

Yikes, but this place was super-pricey! How can they get away with trying to charge nearly €10 for a half-liter of Coca-Cola? I've seen some price mark-ups before, but damn!! Even the bottled water is nearly €7, and I don't know enough French to ask for plain tap-water (more on that later). Anyway, the boeuf bourguignon I ordered was a very poor grade of beef, in my opinion (besides being hecka expensive like everything else). The main draw of this place is that they are just down the street from Sacre Coeur, and across from a cute little plaza with all sorts of artists selling paintings to the tourists. You can get a table on the sidewalk if you don't mind the cigarette smoke; it's less smoky but just as crowded inside. There was also a huge upper level that was completely empty while we had lunch there. The restaurant was not at all English-friendly, which I found very disappointing, since the tricky hostess out front initially drew us in by speaking English to us; once we were inside, it was all French. We tried asking for regular tap water, but the waitress didn't understand or was just playing dumb, so we ended up with the €7 Evian bottle.

This restaurant is in the heart of Montmartre and serves a very decent lunch. They advesrtise a set day menu with various options on the black board outside (roughly 15-20 euro p/p) but once inside they'll instantly hand you the 'al la carte' menu so be careful. You will most likely have to specifically ask the waiter for the day menu if you want the discount. Another thing to watch out for is when they offer you water. Make sure to ask for the house water (not bottled) as its free whereas bottled will set you back something like 5 euros. The basket of bread they bring out, on the other hand, is free. But all that aside, the food is top-notch. We ordered the escargot starters and it was amazing. We'd say it was some of the better escargot you will find in Paris. For our mains we had duck & mussels, which were equaly good. The sauce that came with the mussels was lovely. The table next to us had a concotion of pasta dishes which also looked very appertizing so everything looked very decent here... if a bit pricey. The bill came to 50 euros and that was 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 dessert & house water. But then it is Paris and all the places around the Montmartre square will cost you roughly the same. All in all, the restaurant was lovely and if we were ever to return to Paris we wouldn't hesistate to eat here again.

It is a consequence of the limitations of the tour schedule that I may have gotten a poor representation of what this restaurant really has to offer, especially since the dessert was so tasty, but I found the main course in particular rather underwhelming. This was our third bowl of boeuf bourgignon in France this week and this was easily the worst, with little flavor and a feeling of haphazardness to its execution. Perhaps the Normandy chicken, a bit closer to Paris geographically, would have been a better option among the only two we were allowed to choose from. Fortunately, the Crème Brûlée, a notoriously difficult dessert to master, was executed very well, its topping just burnt enough and the caramel underneath the crème just thick enough to hold up but thin enough to break apart with a spoon. A non-food related demerit in that on a World Cup match night, the TV in the dining room was not working. And also that this was my birthday dinner, in Paris of all places, and I was hoping the food would be more memorable. The service is quite good, though it isn't really enough to distinguish this restaurant from the pack when there are so many good restaurants in Paris. Or supposedly, I've just yet to really find them...

A generic menu for the area despite reading five posted menus before deciding on Au Cadet De Gascogne which we felt would have been the best out of the lot, it turns out The food once presented was nothing special as one might expect from this area of France. The frog legs were oily. In the end nothing to write home about.

People watching at its finest- situated in the busiest part of Montmarte where all the painters are. We ordered French onion soup and penne bolognese. Onion soup (€10.80) was ok; pasta (€17) was so-so. I guess people go there for the French patio people watching experience - coz obviously its food leaves something to be desired.

Located at the center of Montmartre where all the artists are painting. It was a nice spot to have dinner. Food: Salad - Simple and fresh made this nice and refreshing. Escargot - good but i wish it had more sauce. Duck - Although it looks dry, it was moist. Wish there was a sauce. Boeuf bourguignon - Beef was mouth watering tender. Wish it had more beef. Flan - ehh just flan Brownie cake - it was a little dry. some ice cream would be good. I feel aweful for the cute hostess. She was let go for seating a couple who wanted to move to a different table. The hostess only wanted to make the couple happy so she moved them to a table a of 6 which was originally occupied by 4. The problem was the table wasn't cleaned yet. The head waitress made a big deal about sitting them on the clean end before clearing the table of 4. Waitress scolded her and hostess walked away crying with her bags. She was let go at the end of our meal =( I feel aweful seeing people let go for really minor mistakes and she was kinda cute =) I think the worst part of it was the couple ended up leaving and not ordering anything when I saw them staring at the menu before entering. Overall, I'd come back here but then again I'm not in paris at all. If I'd come back, I'll probably get the mussels.

This is one of the grander restaurants around the corner from Sacre Coure in the artist area. It was actually recommended by one of the street artists who will sketch your picture. (It is pricey but fun as they all have a different eye.) We are at many places in Paris, but the duck breast here was the best. Service started a little brusque, but if you try to speak French, ask for help, and ask for recommendations, it quickly warms up and you are in for an outstanding dinner experience. Live piano perfumes the air, and the pianist is happy to play whatever you like. (If it's not crowded, feel free to dance!) Well managed and fair prices in the nicest of settings. If you hungry in Montmartre and want a wonderful meal highly recommend this establishment.

Nice and friendly service in a good French atmosphere with live music starting from 8 pm. Try to avoid a table close to the door during the winter time: it gets cold pretty soon. I had as starter escargots and my wife camembert in bacon coat: both of them really good and delicious. As main course my wife had an entrecote: even if the rib-eye should have some fat, in my opinion in this steak there was too much of it. Furthermore the steak is not made on the grill and consequently has less taste. My beef bourguignon was really tasteful and tender: I really love it. As dessert we had a feuilletté of red fruits: fantastic. The digestive was anyway a bed decision: 11€ for a glass of lemoncello is too much! This ruined the experience.

Great beef bourguignon. Great wine. Great window spot to watch people. Great service. Great everything. Busy place but was never bored . The moment food arrived, it was worth waiting for.

Look, they're called French fries for a reason: these folks know how to make 'em tasty. Crisp, perfectly browned, and not overly oily or salty. French onion soup was divine, as expected. The boeuf bourguignon was good, but the meat wasn't great; a bit gristly. Service was very friendly. Loos are upstairs.

We went there for valentines day and was seated upstairs. The service was HORRIBLE! We waited 40 mins for water and almost an hour for appetizers/drinks. Everyone else around us was growing impatient. They had one server for about 16 tables (including a party of 15+). Once the food arrived we had to spit it out because how under seasoned and gross the meat was tasting. I would never recommend this restaurant.

The food is just okay. Not bad, not good. I haven't consider the price, but I think it's quite pricey. The staff is... I am not happy about how he served me. I am very regret to step in this restaurant. One star maybe is too mean, so I make it two. (And then I changed the star back to one. I don't know why I can't be mean, because the waiter did first!) The restaurant only got 10% full, oh on, maybe only 5%, cause they got two floors. Which mean you can't see the empty first floor.

After been out and walking all day we just wanted some to sit and drink. It may have been close to midnight when arrived at this small square next door to our Airbnb. Not going to lie, we saw a couple outside drinking beer and we just stopped not taking in consideration of any other places around. The beer is expensive, and theirs so many people selling or wanting to draw your portrait, it kinda gets annoying. You spent more time telling them no than enjoying your stay.

We had a hair in our food. This is a classic. We notified the waitress who initially question it but then promptly exchanged the food without notifying the manager. No apology just a grumpy look. Terrible service as she made us out to be lairs when we called over the manager as she said there was no hair! Even my 9 year old said take a picture! Regardless the manager then said well I didn't put the hair there so it's not my fault! But we do have a problem as my waitress said there was no hair! So the bottom line poor service with questionable kitchen hygiene and food that will never be remembered. Avoid and walk down the road... much better classic partisan restaurants to be found. Bill also expensive ++++

Always a favorite when in Montmartre. Although pricey I always love eating in the square and this was the first place we ever ate here. The food has always been great especially the french onion soup and the mussels. Be aware that like many places the patio or the tables in the middle of the sqare are more expensive than eating inside. Though desert is good, there is great ice cream and crepes in the immediate area. Bon appetite!

WORST DINING EXPERIENCE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Mediocre food, steep price, CAUSTIC service. Do not come here to eat if visiting Montmartre. Should have known service was going to be horrendous by the expression on our waitress. Don't be conned by the cunning hostess outside. A couple seated somewhat close to us ended up paying in excess of $200 for spaghetti, salad, and some wine. We knew it was going to be pricey. Waitress took forever to take our order of French Onion Soup and Creme Brulee. After our food had arrived, I had asked the waitress for some ice for our drinks. She passed by us 3 times during 20 minutes, and still nothing. She decides to sit two smokers right next to us at our table who instantly make our eating experience miserable. But wait... it gets worse. Since she's right there, we ask her about our ice. To this she responds by not talking, but SCREAMING at us, "Be quiet! You're being so rude! Don't you see I'm with another customer?" REALLY NOW. I was pretty pissed off that this waitress yelled at my mother, who was simply asking about the status of an item she requested 20 minutes ago. I don't really care how terrible her day had been. I paid beaucoup d'argent expecting to at least NOT be treated like some scoundrel from the street. We went up to her manager and complained. We suggested they get rid of her immediately. He apologized for her. And you can bet she didn't receive any tip from us.

I wasn't expecting much when I came here, except mediocre food and high prices, given how touristy the area is, this square in particular. Long story short-- was in Paris a night early unexpectedly and had difficulty figuring out a place to stay, so wanted a super late dinner where I could use WiFi to figure out my plan while I ate. Settled on this place as I was able to use WiFi from the crepe place across the corner but didn't want crepes (I never got this cafe's WiFi to work). The escargot was decent (served without the shell in my case, although yelp photos make it seem like it varies). Next I had some variation of duck meat-- it was tough and flavorless. I normally love duck, but could not finish this. Surprisingly the creme brulee was pretty good. Would not come here again, and I generally know better than to eat somewhere this touristy. But like I said, I needed to eat somewhere super late and desperately needed WiFi.

Amazing spot to chill and have a wine or a beer. Food very much on the higher end side wasn't a fan. The drinks I think was also over priced 20£ for a beer when I can get the same thing next door for 7€. You're mostly paying for the atmosphere. Oh you will be hustled by the people trying to paint your portrait they don't take no for an answer it's kinda annoying.

Some of the food is OK, like the escargot, but everything else is not that great, especially since the prices are way too expensive. Not just a little pricey, way over priced. There are much better places for much better prices all over the city and even in this local area. My last experience was awful. My dinner was served to me cold -- not just kind of hot, or even warm, it was about room temperature (and it was chilly that night). I could tell it had been sitting for quite a while. I waited for 10-15 minutes for the waitress to return, but she was gone somewhere. So, I asked another employee to please take care of my dinner. Almost an hour later the waitress returned and said she would reheat my dinner (WTF?! The other guy just let it sit?). At this point my date was finished with her meal. I said don't bother take it off the bill and bring the check. She said she couldn't do that I have to pay for it. I said call the police then. It went on and on for some time, then, she finally walked away. Ten minutes later she brought the bill with my dinner subtracted. Don't be a pussy if some place in Paris is trying to screw you.

Had breakfast here on an early saturday morning while vendors were still setting up tables & getting their fresh market deliveries. I had the omelet nature, crêpes au sucrée & croissant with a capuccino. Food was simple but made to perfection. Just make sure you have enough $$ on your parking meter-place gets overwhelmingly crowded fast & you might have to wait a while

We stopped for a late lunch and ordered the Formule deJour which was a small salad with either roast chicken leg/thigh or beef steak and fries. Dessert was a Carmel Flan. The server was entertaining and the meals appeared quickly (although others complained that they had waited 1 hour for ala carte options...). The salad was good, my beef steak was cooked properly, but a bit tough. The chicken was moist and tender. The dessert was bland... Overall it was an OK meal in a great location. Please check your bill before paying, as ours did not add up after we left.. Maybe the waiter included an extra tip for his entertainment..?

A buddy and I were walking the village and decided on a beer. It was grey and cold and this place was recommended by one of the local artists that frequent the square (if you see Elizabeth, say high). We sat outside and had two glasses of beer watched the passer-by's and laughed at our conversation. We were having such a great time we had one more (while telling the charcoal portrait artists that 1) my male friend and I are not a couple and 2) we would not look good in a painting or charcoal sketch. LOL We were having such a great time, another beer came for my buddy and I switched to a great (albeit large) glass of wine. It was the last round that we thought about desserts. I forgot what my friend had but I had a upside down apple strudel with pistachio cream and raspberry's. I have to admit it was the most amazing this I have had! We talked to the owner he was very friendly and paid the check (we even bought Elizabeth a cup of coffee). Will be back!

This restaurant is located at the peak area of Montmartre. Food is relatively nice, especially smoked ham and blue cheese salad is refreshing after walking through dirty street from metro station. I was so sick of micanga sellers. By the way, the local beer called 1664 is also recommended.

It's just facing to the painters' plaza and very nice to enjoy sunshine there. We had saumon and bourguinon with lemonade of course with some baguette. especially salmon was quite delicious and complementary baquette was very good. But I think servers there should be more gentle.
