Been here 3x since Saturday 4/19. Café Ventura is situated in Rue Des Martyrs about a 4 min walk from Le Pigalle and a 16 min walk from Montmartre. What a great find!
Have tried Dîner, then Déjeuner then petit-déjeuner. Thanks for the great service all around from the whole staff and from our servers: Amine, Nadia £ Rafael.
The first time was for early Dîner. Service from the whole staff was friendly and efficient and it helped that they sent us a server Amine who could not only translate the specials for us, but was friendly and entertaining.
We shared a French Onion Soup to start which we enjoyed. Their homemade iced tea here is the best we’ve had in the area. For our mains, I ordered a Steak-Frite special of the day - Bavette Steak with Gorgonzola and Bone Marrow which was exquisite. Hubs ordered a perfectly roasted Cabillaud (cod) in parsnips purée and white butter served with mashed p. It was hard to pick a dessert as they had quite a lineup but we ended up with something we don’t have in the US - Poire Belle-Helene which is Poached Pears with Valrhona chocolate, vanilla ice cream, hazelnuts and pine nuts. Would absolutely order everything again!
We came back for Déjeuner on Easter Monday with Nadia as our server. The place was packed inside and they were already sold out of the Lamb special. I went for the Noix d’ entrêcote (ribeye w peppercorn) and my hubs went for Caesar Salad with chicken. Both were excellent choices.
Then on Tuesday morning, we came here for petit-déjeuner with Rafael. Finally got to try their Brioche Perdue (French toast) with hot chocolate and Crêpes Citron with Caffe Americano for my hubs.
We are not leaving until Saturday, hopefully they will have the Steak w Bone Marrow again before we leave 🤞🏼.
