Chez Plumeau

The food was copious and delicious. We had the steak and pork and everything was served hot and tasty while being perfectly seasoned. However we asked for wine to be served with the meal and had to wait at least 10 minutes for the wine, after being served the main course. The atmosphere was a bit cramped but overall it was a memorable dining experience in the iconic location of Montmartre.

Chez Plumeau is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is really good, the service is great and the waiters are kind. The place itself is truly amazing, I absolutely recommend this restaurant, especially during the warm temperatures to enjoy a meal outside, with the beautiful view on all the city of Paris and Eiffel Tower.

Delicious french onion soup, fish, and mussels moules marnier! Good service and nice to eat al fresco! The rose wine is good too! Highly recommended, near Sacre Coeur and Dali Paris!

Really tourist friendly and pretty Restaurant. I was in a bit of a rush and nervous but there was this bald waiter with black ear piercings and he was really nice, my classmates found him nice as well. I was there with my friends asking for a take away, it was a complicated dish but they made it happen anyway! I had to reunite with my class which is why I couldn’t eat here. I was visiting Paris because of a class trip which is why I wanted something special to eat. They also gave me a spoon to go, my teachers were surprised but thought my food looked yummy too.

I usually don't get excited about a salad but this one was great. The Dijon mustard dressing was tangy and creamy. The French bread was great. The atmosphere of the place is cozy elegance. The waiter spoke English. He was very nice. The lasagna was not vegan. The salad was the only vegan option. There is a gluten free penne dish with vegetables. I am not sure why that is not vegan. My traveling companion enjoyed it.

The male staff working here was so kind and friendly. This place was one of the few restaurants open early in the morning, with good rating. It is a little hidden at the back. The staff accommodated me well by making conversation and jokes. There was also a man playing La Vie En Rose with his cat which was a bonus! Highly recommend this restaurant!

lovely spot overlooking the beautiful view. service was kind of rushed but nice and spoke english. all the food was amazing! especially the mussels and escargot. Loved the onion soup too. I probably would not get the caesar salad again but still good! I also liked that they had menus in multiple languages and restrooms.

The best onion soup! Everything is very nice here and it is the perfect place to have lunch, or to take a break from your Montmartre tour. Truly recommend! 🩷🩷🩷

Best food and service in the cutest neighborhood. This place is in Montmartre and next to Dali Exhibition. we didn't have any reservation but got lucky and got table for 4. Ah! our server was the most helpful with the wine selection. The energy was very welcoming. We ordered the followings: 1.French Onion Soup - good as expected 2.Cheeseboard - very tasty 3.Snails (the French original) with pesto sauce - the table entertainment 4.Caramelized spare ribs BBQ 5.Rib Steak with beurre maitre d hotel sauce- BEST STEAK The highlight was the red wine : Gres de Gayanne 2021 - Mamamia

SO GOOD! Waiter was nice & spoke English. Was not too busy, seated right away during lunch.

Lovely spot away from the crowd in Montmartre, especially if you can sit outside. The atmosphere is relaxed, we never feel rushed, and the staff are attentive and friendly. We visit every time we're in Paris, and every meal has been delicious.

great location hidden on a hill in montmartre, good espresso martini and french onion soup. however, the rest of the food we got including the beef tartare and mussels were not good

Chez Plumeau, in the perfect spot nestled on top of Montmartre, and tucked away in the corner like a birds nest, cozy and warm. The ambiance was perfect, the service was kind and attentive, the wine was flirtatious and easy and the food for the most part was very good, the only reason I gave it four out of five stars was because the roasted chicken was so well done, it tasted like a small wooden block wrapped in an old man's shoe. That said I would gladly return.

We had a fantastic time here! Amazing service and amazing food! The energy was very welcoming and relaxing as well with great staff and hospitality. The menu was in French/English and had many options to choose from. We were a party of 3 with no reservation and they sat us immediately:)

I loved everything about Chez Plumeau. The food, the location, ambiance, and the friendly staff - it was nothing short of amazing. On a busy Sunday night in the heart of peak season, they were able to get us seated, which was very nice. We ordered a variety of plates in order to be able to try a couple different options. The Gratin Onion Soup and Planche Mixte were great dishes and extremely tasty. The mixed board of meat and cheeses signified how fresh everything was. As an entree, we tried the Spinach, Ricotta Fresh Raviol, Gorgonzola cream, roquette and parmesan. One word, wow. These were prepared to perfection. I would highly recommend this restaurant in Montmartre and will go back the next time I am in Paris!

We had the best time here tonight. The food was amazing, the service spectacular, and to top it all off there was a lovely jazz trio performing. It was the highlight of any of our meals so far on this trip, even better than the Michelin starred ones.

Of all the places in the art square this is the most intimate. Tucked just around the corner from the sketch artists and painters you'll find ample outdoor seating with a beautiful canopy curtesy of the twisting and turning branches from a tree planted in the middle of the dinning area. It is a true kodak moment. The coffee was delicious as well as the classic french onion soup - baked with crispy french bread and a layer of yummy cheese on top. This really hit the spot and the smell alone will have you dreaming of it for days. Burgers, fries and just about any other lunch dish here was prepared fresh and tasted delicious. Many locals choose this spot also. A gem for the area. A casual french lunch awaits. Remember to get the one of the best french onion soups!

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 Very nice patio to chill at in the afternoon with a great view (the place is on top of a hill). We had the pate/bread plate with wine and escargot. All dishes were very good and I highly recommend. I'm not a wine drinker but I tried one here and thought it was pretty good (Merlot mix with something not sure.) Definitely try to sit on the patio if you come here.

We loved our last meal in France! This was the most comfortable and friendly restaurant yet. The staff just couldn't be any more accommodating. We started with French onion soup and it didn't disappoint. Then, the star if dinner was the board with cheeses and meats was so delicious. These foods are so much more superior than the states. The freshness and flavor really shine. We then had spinach and ricotta cheese ravioli with Gorgonzola cream sauce with parmigiana spreads was so luscious. And the veal with potatoes in a brown sauce and arugula salad was so tender and flavorful.

You must eat here. I read the positive and negative reviews and our experience was very positive. The waiter was charming - with US Blues Christmas music playing gently in the back ground! But everything else Parisian. I had a sliced meat and cheese (fromage) and my wife had escargots and fois gras. All delicious. It is 40 feet off the square and a treasure. Just what one looks for to escape the tourists (like us!)

We came here because it had great reviews. However I do believe it is hit or miss. The apps we got were amazing but my main, veggie lasagna was beyond plain to the point where I would rate it 1 star. It had absolutely no flavor but oil. If I am going to get a pasta, it needs to be amazing.

This restaurant was the perfect close to a beautiful day wandering around Montmartre. Perched up high near an overlook of the city and just off a busy square, Le Plumeau had a beautiful outdoor garden-like ambience and some excellent live cafe music. The food was superb, I had a charcuterie appetizer with sundried tomatoes and balsamic, and the vegetarian lasagna was also amazing- plenty of food! The creme brûlée for dessert was also delicious!

I think this place is probably at its best on very sunny and warm days, when the canopy offers some welcome shade. On a cloudy day it can feel a bit dark and cold here. The service is good, they speak English well, and are very friendly. We tried the snails, onion soup and Camembert fondue since we were not so hungry. With drinks the bill landed on 52,50€ which felt much too pricey, in contrast to the quality of the meal we were served which was passable/adequate at best. I suppose it is because it's in the middle of an extremely touristy district. The snails had too much parsley/spinach flavour for my taste, I was hoping for more butter/garlic. Note that we picked really "cheap" stuff, most plates on the menu is around 20€ each. The beer was 10€ which is very steep for a plain brew.

Busy restaurant in the heart of tourist area, Montmartre. We have to wait awhile for our table and even longer for the service. Large extensive menu with specialty of the day. The food was o.k

A very cute, cozy cafe located in the Momart area in France. The decor was trendy, modern, and it had a garden feel to it. I came here with a party of five and I don't know how on earth we were able to spend close to $400. I guess the cost of wine and desserts added up; French people know how to eat! We were here with some family who lives in France and they did all the ordering for, each person with an appetizer and entree. I ended up with escargot as an appetizer, and fried prawns wrapped with smoked fillet of duck and spicy sausage rice as my main course. The Mister ended up with a french onion soup as his appetizer and a leg of lamb topped with burning sage, a side of fresh cream and au gratin potatoes as his main course. I had my whole meal and had a bite of everyone else's and everything was amazing! The presentation was cute and the flavors were present, my taste buds were satisfied!

Fabulous shady spot "off the beaten path" of Montmartre. Gorgeous vines create a green awning for this cool, cobblestoned terrace cafe. We enjoyed the vegetarian Lasagna and the chicken in lemon cream sauce and a salad. The food was good, the setting beautiful. nice!

This place is fantastic! Amid all the overpriced tourist traps in Paris, this place stands out. Located in some of the back roads behind the Sacre-Coeur, one location in Paris that visitors will almost always have to pass by, it is a quiet unassuming place, where the wait staff are friendly, the patrons are easy-going, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The atmosphere really is like a neighborhood French bistro, not commercialized and not just a fascade. The food was fantastic, heaping portions of every entree despite a very reasonable price tag. To put in perspective, The brunch I had costed more for 3 small mediocre plates, than the dinner I had at Chez Plumeau with 3 full entrees, an appetizer, and 2 drinks, not to mention that the 2 drinks were delicious fresh squeezes juices (the fresh squeezed orange juice is among the most delicious I've ever had - imagine the tastiest clementines squeezed by hand one by one into a full glass). The escargot is fantastic, always wish it came in greater amounts, braised duck was delicious, and the fish is very tasty without being greasy at all. Bottom line - great food, great atmosphere, great price, friendly staff. Cannot be beat in this area.

I ate here in April 2014; just now getting to the review. This is a little bit hidden, around the corner from an area of condensed restaurants. Five of us managed to get a seat on a Saturday night. I recommend reservations for any restaurant in Montmartre. The wine and food is real good here, and you won't get slaughtered on the price.

This place is wonderful. It's right near Place du Tetre but isn't nearly as packed as the cafes immediately on the square. The terrace is beautiful and peaceful. The tables are high and prettily arranged, and you feel like you're eating in a garden. Sure, the place was packed with tourists just like us, but it's not like we could've expected anything else for the area. We came here because Ellie's review mentioned vegetarian options. Although I'm not a vegetarian, my boyfriend is. I had the fondue with potatoes and ham, and my boyfriend had a tofu and quinoa dish. Mine was absolutely delicious. Two lunches plus a glass of wine each came to €52. It was a breath of fresh air and the perfect place to take a step out of the tourist rush of Montmartre. Tip: Wines by the glass are not listed on the wine list but instead are on a card on the table like happy hour specials.

We came here based on the 4-star Yelprating, but I would consider it only a solid 3. Atmosphere was so-so, with Euro Pop playing overhead. Two patrons were messing around loudly on the piano in the corner. The server was friendly but very casual - wearing a hoodie and yoga pants - not the snappy professional service I'm used to in Paris bistrot. The food was fine, but the onion soup was light on cheese and the steak was impossibly tough. My dining companion enjoyed a nice salmon and pasta dish. Overall, probably normal for Montmartre, but not comparable to similarly priced establishments in the Rive Gauche.

If I could give this restaurant negative stars I would. I ordered a medium well burger. I received a rare burger. Blood on my plate. I returned the plate and let them know I didnt want anything to replace it. Guess what? I had to pay for it anyway. You order, they make it incorrect, I return it, I still have to pay. Absolutely ridiculous.

Sweet little romantic restaurant in Montmartre. More of a touristic spot than an authentic french bistro.

This place had so much potential, until the drunk owner stroked my daughter's face. It was awful. He was a very sleazy guy and apart from one girl, the staff were not friendly. It is also way overpriced; The cheese tastes like rubber.

Incredible! In All the madness amidst the hungry Music Day crowd, Mia's service and attention was spectaculaire! She was warm, friendly, and attentive. As rushed as she needed to be, she was incredibly relaxed and pleasant. This woman is someone I would want as the face of MY company. Hopeful that she has found - or will find, her ideal dream career path. She is an asset to this restaurant, and would be a highly valuable asset to ANY team or organization. To the food: the French Onion soup was really good. So many times, it comes out lukewarm. Not here. HOT HOT HOT. Perhaps a tad bit bread-heavy on top, but the (too thick) broth was rich. Perhaps end-of-the-evening blues. At the risk of being repetitive, the service continued spectacularly throughout the meal. (I am writing this review in real time) The veal was cooked near-perfect, but my only complaint - which is a general complaint about many restaurants in Paris - is under seasoning. It seems that chefs in France have a general fear of salt. A note to all chefs of the world: if you don't know how to use salt, your food WILL FAIL. PERIOD. Get it right, and you'll do great. Overall, this is the best TOTAL restaurant experience EVER, in my 20 or so nights/days in Paris over the years. Chex Plumeaux goes on my VERIFIED GREAT list of restaurant ms in Paris. Don't miss this place. If you're a foodie in Paris, it will be a crime not to show.

Chez Plumeau is absolutely lovely. Nestled right around the corner from the street artist stalls in Montmartre Chez Plumeau sits under a leafy green canopy. I agree with earlier reviews that say it feels very far away, even though it's only steps from the action. The terrace is set impeccably with multi-coloured glassware gleaming in the sunshine. For a meat-centred restaurant, Chez Plumeau has ample options for vegetarians and they are tasty, unusual and prepared with such care. We started with the beet carpaccio, which was so beautifully presented we didn't want to eat it. Thin, delicate rounds of roast beets covered the plate, topped with a spoon of slightly sweet basil sorbet. The onion soup was also very good (it tasted vegetarian to me, but my husband - the true vegetarian - stayed clear. You could ask about this). We also ordered one of the dinner salads and it came, again beautifully presented, with dozens of little treats. Frisee, quinoa salad, tomato compote, fromage blanche topped with olive oil, artichoke hearts, flatbread with nuts and seeds, fruit and ginger sorbet. It was a busy plate, but somehow all made sense. We loved how it was a dinner and dessert together on one plate that we were able to separate and then eat in stages. This place is not cheap, but it is a fabulous experience - especially if you eat outside on the lovely patio. Vegetarian score: 7.5/10. Very good for Paris and a killer spot for lunch.

We were a bit apprehensive walking up to Chez Plumeau - the reviews mentioned it being "quiet" and "off the beaten path" - but we had to walk through the touristy area around Sacre-Coeur to get there, and I had a sinking feeling this was going to be another tourist trap we were headed to. However, this was a pleasant surprise!! It really is in a hidden back road, and there was a table outside that had just been vacated. The service is a bit hurried due to there only being 3 servers for the whole restaurant, so we settled in and patiently waited for menus and service. You're in Paris! Enjoy the atmosphere! The food was exquisite. I started with the escargot - which was fantastic. Garlicky and delicious!! My husband REALLY enjoyed the steak with pepper sauce as his entree, and the server suggested the veal dish for me which was AMAZING!!!! BEST VEAL I'VE EVER HAD. My husband kept trying to steal bites. It was just super tender and cooked perfectly. Everything was cooked perfectly. The creme brulee and the chocolate delight was a highlight to end the meal. I also ordered the hot chocolate since it was such a cool summer night, and it was delicious. The service was earnest, and we really enjoyed our evening here. Seriously the best meal of our trip! By the way - they do have a English menu on a chalkboard - you just need to ask for it.

Perfect lunch stop with friends! I had the veal (medium) and it was a surprisingly large dish that could have been shared. One friend had a tuna burger that he reported as delicious. Drinks were also large and relatively inexpensive. We were not rushed, and the wait staff very attentive but did not hover. I would recommend this cafe if you're making a visit to Sacre-Coure.

The burger came with a bunch of non-advertised sauce on it. I am not a fan of surprise ingredients. Or surprises in general. Or generals in the army, though I don't know any myself. Or myself. Or the word or. Or a boat oar. All of those things I am not a fan of. The wifi password is written on a chalkboard behind a tree. It's hard to read, you might have to try a few times. Or you might just have to enjoy the company you are with. If you are alone, maybe make a friend over at Abbesses station and then eat with that person.

Comfy restaurant for decent food after a visit to Sacré-Cœur. Escargots are good, but not as fresh as we ate the other night. Friendly waiters.

Chez Plumeau has everything I could ever want in a restaurant: atmosphere, live music, attentive service, and AMAZING food and drinks. If you are looking for a romantic night out in Paris, this is the place to go. The only thing is, you may stay for so long that you spend all your money. On to the dishes... My bf got the braised duck with mashed potatoes and arugula. This may sound like something you can find anywhere, but trust me, it's not. The duck and arugula were on a little island of mashed potatoes, surrounded by a sea of gravy. If only thanksgiving dinner could be like this. I got the salade montmartre, which we agreed was one of the best salads we've ever had. Simple, but flavorful, with 2 strips of what appeared to be duck prosciutto, fried cheese, tomato, sundried tomato, artichoke, and simple dressing over a bed of greens. Our 2 desserts were also perfection - we had a cheesecake, which was light and creamy (almost creme fraiche-like with a graham cracker crust) and a plate heaped with strawberries, whipped cream, and thin phylo-dough. This was absolutely amazing and not at all heavy. The restaurant itself is quite small, but doesn't feel cramped. There was a man playing the accordion and piano, and a woman singing the whole time we were there. There was also a large birthday party next to us, and some of them turned out to be professional musicians/singers, and they got up to play as well. We kept ordering more drinks because it was so cozy and lovely inside the restaurant. Every party lingered because no one wanted to leave. I got the "grog" which is a hot rum citrus drink -- so yummy, and did not give me a hangover the next day. :) Best meal of our trip hands down!!

After visiting Montmartre we decided to eat at chez plumeau, and what a disappointing and terrible experience. We ordered a starter to share, foie gras on toast with salad. The waitress brought us the plate with 2mini toasts of bread. I asked for more bread and she said that they ran out and would bring some as soon as possible. After 15minutes, still no more bread, i asked the waitress again, she answered "i told you there is no more bread!!", oh ok, well so what you didnt tell me before i ordered a foie gras starter? I dont know if she was expecting me to eat foie gras by itself, which is disgusting, but her tone gave us the tone of the rest of the evening....i asked her to take the plate off our table as we cant eat foie gras without bread (oh and she proposed us some burgers buns instead!!!!omg what a shame!!!) So there was a long wait for our main dishes, we waited 20minutes, we were then starving, half hour, starting to be too hungry and disgusted about the service, 45minutes we decided to leave. I told the waitress to cancel our order, and she started being upset at me and asking me to wait 10more minutes for our main dishes to arrive. So total we waited an hour and half for a tartare steak and salmon, which never arrived. We decided to leave and to never ever go back there. This restaurant is a shame, the little food we had (foie gras) was really not good, probably a cheap tourist foie gras....the service was the worst i ever experienced in my life. Plus we still had to pay for something we didnt eat.... chez Plumean je vais passer le mot comme quoi vous etes degoutant et une honte pour notre pays!!!comptez sur moi!!

We loved this place. The location is perfect- right next to where you'll be when visiting Montmartre but one corner away from the madness. I had the vegetarian salad, which was jaw-dropping in presentation and variety. There was an olive bread, a couscous salad, green salad with almond-y croutons, tomato sorbet (weird and interesting), fresh fruit skewers (all ripe and perfect), ect. My mom had escargot and the quiche, which was a huge piece of hot, cheesy, melting deliciousness, and my aunt had the Camembert fondu, which was a whole round Camembert baked and tons of meat and some potatoes. All-in-all, the food was really great. We also had a glass of wine each (good, fine, normal). All together, it came to about 80Euros. Not cheap, certainly, but the quality made it seem worth it. The atmosphere was extremely casual- we sat on the patio, which is high tables with bar stools (worth noting if you're thinking about bringing older folks). The service was efficient and actually very friendly and kind of funny, with the first waiter actually patiently allowing me to order in French and the other cracking jokes and insisting on taking a picture with us as we left. It's a bit of a mixed-up feeling if you're not used to spending that kind of money on dinner. The atmosphere is so casual and the tables and set-up made me a little nervous, like, could the food really be worth this kind of money? But once the dishes are set down (presentation was beautiful) you're totally cool with throwing down that cash.

For our first full day in Paris, we decided to go to Montmartre. Having gotten a late start we ate lunch as soon as we got near the top of Montmartre at this restaurant just off the SW corner of Place du Tertre. It was perfect. Being off-season, it was not crowded and we sat at a small table outside in the sun. We ordered a bottle of a dry Rosé from Provence and enjoyed it all throughout our meal. My wife had a dinner salad of warm goat cheese melted over toast points with salad greens, herbs, hard boiled egg and crispy chips of ham (or prosciutto). She loved it. I had the plat du jour, which consisted of a roasted chicken quarter (leg and thigh), roasted fingerling potatoes and a small basket of fries. A little heavy on the starch, but it tasted delicious. By the time we finished our meals we had just about finished our wine, so for dessert we chose to linger a bit by each having a double espresso. Very glad we stopped here for a tasty, fairly priced meal.

Nice and friendly, good food, big dishes. If you don't mind to pay little extra to have lunch at one of the most beautiful places of Paris, this is a very nice spot!

Definitely a quality restaurant in a sea of overpriced tourist traps. I got the chicken tandoori salad with salmon and spring rolls. An interesting combination, but it was fresh and filling. Even the bread served is better than most restaurants.

I stopped in here and had the tofu main course (being a vegetarian, and seeing good reviews about their vegetarian fare). First off what everyone says about the setting and ambiance is entirely correct, it's a beautiful restaurant and I was fortunate enough to be here in fall when the weather was great for being outside. It's a bit pricey, but perhaps not so bad for Paris. I'd come here again with friends.

very good food! we had veggie lasagna, burger and ravioli. All 3 were delicious. As every where else in town, sodas are over priced, so be careful what you order.

Yes, the food was fantastic. I had the cornish game hen. It and the sauce in which it lingered were very delicious and pleased my palette as I hid around the corner from all the palettes of paint and tourists, in my own piece of back-alley charm. But the item I will be telling legends about for the rest of my life is the crème brûlée. I've sadly not tried every crème brûlée in the world, but if there is one better than this, it would certainly cause the universe to implode, and we would all die. So let's hope it doesn't get any better than this.

This is the prettiest place to have lunch at montmartre! It's just below the very busy place du tertre, and yet so far from it! It's quiet peaceful, nicely decorated, and the food is excellent. Presentation is very good, price is very good considering location and quality. Service is unusually good and welcoming.

Very nice place. It's calm yet close to Montmartre, with tables inside and outside (with heating). There is almost no view over Paris, but there is people walking by without being too close, so the ambient is nice. The food is good and well presented. Just have a little bit of patience if you're going at peak hours; service may take a little while. The kids liked the children menu and sitting on the high chairs. We had a very nice time.

Unfortunately I had a very disappointing experience here. Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen -- but I was the only customer at the time I went and the Tagliatelle dish I ordered was so overlooked it was like eating porridge. There's nothing worse than soggy pasta. I couldn't finish it and the high price tag of €17 made it taste even worse. The service was excellent, but the food is just not worth going there.

Excellent A really nice place to have dinner. The restaurant is located central to the area but in a surprisingly quiet corner. The service and the food are very well priced. I visit almost every time I'm in Paris.

This is one of our favorite cafés in Paris. It's tucked into a quiet area in Montmartre, close the artist's market, so it's easy to find. The outdoor patio, which we've enjoyed in all sorts of weather, is charming. The food is tasty, the service is welcoming and we've never been disappointed. We visit at least once every time we're in Paris.

I want to start with the word excellent. That describes the food at Chez Plumeau. Then I want to say, disappointed. After much growth and expansion, the word is out. It has gotten more crowded so what used to be a quaint family place has turned into a tourist trap. Granted, being located on the most beautiful mountain, most beautiful church Sacre Coeur along side you, it was bound to happen. One can always hope that a place can keep that "only for the locals" vibe. Next, the hamburger is out of this world. This would make a vegetarian go meatatarian. I promise you. Although, anything here is awesome. Beef bourgogne, french onion soup or a salad is fabulous. During the summer months and even early fall, you can sit outside among the maples that cover you from above with the sun flowers around you. There is a harpist that plays on some days if you are lucky. Chez Plumeau has always been a favorite place and will remain that small family place in my heart.

I'm a local showing around an American visitor - we visited this on our last day of the trip and it was a great end to a trip in Paris. An honest restaurant with a laid back atmosphere and good food (but nothing amazing) - makes a change from the rip off tourist places at Montmartre which can really take clients for granted. We had the duck parmentier and the steak. The steak was pretty average, and the duck parmentier was pretty good. However, the service was great and the overall experience was fantastic. Would rate this a 4.5 if I could because it was very good but a tiny bit expensive for the food that you get.

Eek. Maybe it was an off night. They were out of the first two entrees I wanted (on a short list to begin with) and everything was slow, from the food to getting water glasses to getting enough forks for everyone at the table. The french onion soup was good, and perhaps a clue that this place caters to tourists, as our French friends told us they never eat it. After all, the restaurant is right at the top of the scenic Montmarte hill and I doubt many locals would come here. That being said, it's a nice courtyard in which to sit and eat, though I would search for something else next time. My scallops entree (my third choice) were tasty, but came as they did drenched in olive oil and with lardy bacon and buttery mashed potato on the side, I had to wonder if the chef was afraid of vegetables. We skipped dessert.

Great spot, just out of the busy section. Friendly, funny staff. Really genuine lovely food. There was a live band when we were there. Great atmosphere.
