"You’ll typically find these types of classic corner cafes near metro stations or at big intersections, with large terraces that spill out onto the sidewalk and chalkboards promising prix-fixe deals. The food can be iffy, but this spot in Montmartre is solid and has everything you want from a place like this: rattan chairs, leather banquettes, and classic French dishes like oeufs mayonnaise, tartare de boeuf, and a fantastic foie gras. Stop by for lunch or dinner and order a fresh salad (a recent one came with squash and goji berries) or the duck fat burger that’s served with not-quite-skinny, not-quite-thick fries. (If it’s not on the menu, ask for it.) Cafe de Luce is a great destination to rest and refuel before or after hiking up and down the neighborhood’s many staircases or hidden cobblestoned passageways that lead to the Sacré Coeur cathedral or the Moulin Rouge cabaret, especially since it’s open for continuous service on the weekend." - Sara Lieberman

This is the first 5 star review I've made, and I genuinely mean every star. My bf and I have been in Europe for 10 days, and this was OUR favorite meal so far, by far. I expected all food in Paris to taste this special and this good and Cafe de Luce honestly blew other meals out of the water. The restaurant itself is SO charming and beautiful. I can't even begin to explain how delicious the food is; every bite was a treat. Bruno, one of the chefs, was so kind and he and his friend (I feel terrible for forgetting his name), really put genuine effort into their plates. If you are in Paris, I recommend coming here it is WELL worth it, but maybe don't come first because then you won't want to eat any other meals after ;) Friendly staff, beautiful environment, stellar food. (FYI, we ordered 2 apps, 2 drinks, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts and it was a little more than 100 euros, we considered that absolutely affordable for what we ate!)

Friendly staff, nice place where you can sit both inside and outside. Didn’t have to wait that long for the food, we also got some bread while waiting. But we only got three pieces for five persons, strange. Food was well made and tasted good, but maybe a little too small for me. Kids pasta was very small so wouldn’t recommend for kids over 10. Overall a nice experience and a place to try French food.

I heard about this place on social media. The food was great. I just was a lot disappointed by the fact that we did not get small plates to eat the assiette de charcuterie (it had another name). We had to eat with our hands and napkins. The staff could be more thoughtful. They are not in a mind that everything is possible.

Visited this place recommended by a friend. Loved the atmosphere so much. We had the best french food in Paris for the past 4 days, loved the lamb shoulder, mushroom soup and pear tart. Unfortunately we dint manage to try the Truffle Croissant because it's only available on weekends. Me and my husband really enjoyed the food and service, will revisit in future :)

Great service, the outdoor seating location is shady and a nice breeze. My dish was Mellon with ham with greens, which was amazing. The wine was a tad expensive but it paired nicely.

Very well located cafe/restaurant in Montmartre (away from the big touristic restaurants). Service was correct and the food was very good. Coffee was slightly pricy for the quality but except that, everything was perfect!

Food is good, but service could be better. The brunch is great, but it’s expensive as the dessert never worth to eat, it’s not good, change it please. Sometimes they forget to bring all the items from the brunch, and you need to ask and then wait a lot. Sometimes one item comes before and then when you have the rest is already cold. Other time I was there I took the greek planche, and it was delicious. Cafe de Luce has a lot of potential… I would like to recommend it to everyone, they just need to improve a little.

Our first meal in Montmartre was absolutely amazing! Would definitely give this a 5/5 if it was not for the wrong orders from the service staff and the overly fried fries. Iced latte gave my morning an oomph and the juicy tender veal was the best I’ve ever had. Salmon croissant was fresh and our first beef tartare experience did not go wrong.
