Adorable cafe with so much potential but so little effort put towards it.
As a fan of the Amelie and staying in Montmartre, it was simply serendipitous that I go to the bar where they filmed the movie.
Upon entering I noticed a few aspects of the location that differed from the film, NBD, it was still reminiscent enough to please my touristy heart. The actual food was meh, the service eh, and overall the experience left me like ah, that's why the rating is so low. They should have left the original layout of the restaurant and committed to having it be a landmark to the movie. Instead it's kinda halfhearted between ignoring the movie and honoring it.
I split the cheese plate with Ryan C and we both ordered a glass of red wine. Our waiter was 100% disinterested in us due in part to the fact that we are American and fans of the movie. I get hating non-French speaking Americans (how frustrating, amirite?) but why work at a place that is going to attract fans if you hate the fans? I could feel our waiter eyeroll at us.
The cheese plate was laden with bleu cheese, a sharper cheddar style, and a buttery soft cheese. The salad with it was mostly just lettuce, not dressed. It was ok at best. Not worth the price.
IDK if you're a fan of the movie but if you are, you may be better off just ordering something else + a drink, taking a quick inconspicuous selfie, then beating it outta here before your waiter judges you. Ryan went to the restroom and reported it absolutely reeking of urine, but they had a cute display of Amelie things.
