Le Moulin de la Galette

Great atmosphere, great food, and great servers. 0 complaints, would highly recommend. We ordered salmon and duck, and a little dessert afterwards. The crème brûlée especially is delicious and is the stuff of dreams. Outside seating has heaters, so you won't freeze to death in the winter cold while you eat if there's 0 seating available inside, which is very nice!

Recommended by local guide for getting top notch french food. I am glad we decided to go there for our dinner. We booked the table 3 weeks ahead, there is probably no way to get in without a booking . The place was full . We had frog legs, onion soup, lamb and sole , all dishes cooked to perfection. Beautiful food. Great atmosphere and great food, we had a great time. Highly Recommended!

We stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to have lunch. Beautiful restaurant we sat in courtyard which was so charming. We had shrimp appitizer and for main course Risotto with scallops and Coq au Vin 😋 and for dessert the house special. Absolutely delicious excellent service even though very busy .

Staff was very attentive and friendly, even made us smile. Most spoke English really well. The vibe was nice, we sat next to some loud high school/college kids, they were excited because they ordered alcohol and they didnt check IDs and they were 17, maybe its the age rule is different here idk. It would have been nice to ask them to quiet down a little though. The food: the duck with potatoes was really good, it tasted like the dark meat of turkey and buttery potatoes. Pretty fatty. The bread was decent, not as good as the bakeries in the street but better than other restaurants. The steak frites, was undercooked but I dont think they understood "medium well", i asked for them to cook it a little more cause it was rare and they said "yes, its french to have it bloody, we are cook it more for you". They were very kind about it and the steak was good tasting after, it was a pretty fatty cut it would say i would eat about half of the pictured meat, the rest was fat. Fries were good, I salted them. Salad was not my fav I dont like Dijon mustard unfortunately. The olives tasted canned and not good. Overall, the other places we ate were better quality, this was decent but not worth the money. The redeeming factor was the history behind the windmill that is on the restaurant, we googled it but I think they have a mat on the table in french telling about it. Lunch menu seems like a good deal.

We arrived at 20:45 for our reservation, excited because a Parisian friend had highly recommended Le Moulin de la Galette. The restaurant is in a charming, historic building in Montmartre, and the atmosphere seemed perfect for a romantic dinner. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. The hostess told us that inside seating was unavailable and asked us to wait 15 to 20 minutes. We waited on the sidewalk with no updates, only to watch a walk-in party of two get seated before us. When we asked for an update, she admitted she had forgotten about us and told us to wait inside so she would not forget again. Even then, we watched her seat another party before us with no explanation. Nearly an hour after our reservation time, we were finally seated. The food was fine, but by that point we were frustrated and ready to leave. The wall next to our table was dirty and covered with food stains and crumbs, which made the experience even less pleasant. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation and beautiful setting, the service and cleanliness were far below expectations.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at lunchtime.We had three courses and wine. Everything was perfect. The staff were exceptional, the food was delicious and the wine was delightful. We had snails and frogs legs as a starter, cow au vin and t bone steak followed by the dessert of the day which was exquisite .I had researched somewhere to enjoy a birthday meal whilst on holiday and this was perfect. I would recommend to anyone visiting Montmarte but do book ahead as it is very popular.

we went before lunch ended and was told we couldn't go inside if we're not eating lunch, fine, so we sat outside and i ordered a crepe suzet but since we are seated outside, the waiter was going to call me inside to view the flaming of my crepe. well i got my coffee and waited 20 minutes for my crepe, was called inside and then had to wait again and was i was in everyones way....NOT the experience i was expecting. They seemed to only care about the inside customers. Ate my crepe with out any coffee....was very disappointed. the crepe was good, nut i make crepes once a week, i didnt order it for the food, but for the experience.

The food was beyond outstanding, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was charming. What a wonderful evening with that special someone. Please do yourself a favor and come here, you won't be disappointed!

I had dinner here and it was pretty underwhelming. I started with the fried shrimp which I didn't realize was just shrimp tempura. It was too salty and too greasy. It was also mostly just breading. The coq au vin wasn't much better. The pasta it came in was overcooked and mushy. The chicken was dry which is strange because it's cooked in a soup. The chocolate mousse was ok but way too sweet and felt powdery on my tongue which made me think it was a packaged, easy to make mousse. I was worried that this restaurant would be gimmicky and a tourist trap because it has a noticeable windmill on top and I was unfortunately right.

We stepped right into Parisian history when we stepped into this beautiful restaurant. It was incredible to see the place that has inspired so many famous artworks. I had onion soup and mussels which were amazing. They are tiny mussels and there were probably 100 in there. Didn't even finish half. The portions are very big. Our waiter Yann was so warm and welcoming. His service was phenomenal and really made Our experience that much better!

A bit of a tourist bucket list item and while it's generally all foreign tourists having a nice meal, it's still good quality. Service is prompt, courteous and helpful. Ambiance is of an older French restaurant of good quality. Tables do end up quite close together but food is really good. We'd go again but there are so many better high quality restaurants in Paris that this feels like a bit of a cop out.

I had the deep fried prawns with sweet chili sauce as my starter and the Duck Confit as my entree. Both were absolutely delicious. The duck was not greasy at all and the skin was cooked great. We had the best server. He was so nice and made my mom's birthday dinner special.

Very Frenchie in the heart of montmartre. It has a windmill and outdoor seating out of a postcard, Any questions? Besides Ala carte they have a pre- fix menu. $39 for appetizer, entree and dessert, $31 without the appetizer. The ones we like were the: onion soup, foei gras, duck confit and steak au poivre(chef suggested- not on the menu). The lamb was ok. You can skip the coq au vin. For dessert we had crème brûlée and crepe suzette both excellent. Why 4 stars? Food was good not great(foei gras was excellent though) service was a little rushed.

We went inside and stood at the door waiting for someone to come over or to seat us because we didn't know whether to seat ourselves or not. We finally walked over to two men and asked if we seated ourselves and they said yes and we asked if we could sit outside and they said yes. We sat outside and waited about 15 minutes staring through the windows and made eye contact with people numerous of times and no one ever came out. Finally someone said that we'd be helped in just a few minutes. After waiting another 10 minutes it turns out they didn't have the one thing we wanted. Guess they don't like tourists...

Stunning restaurant close to the Sacré-Cœur basilica in Montmartre. If you're looking for a haven from the crowds at Place du Tertre, you've come to the right spot! The restaurant is beautiful inside, peppered with pothos plants and brush on the ceiling. The foie gras pate was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Super friendly staff who dealt with our poor French!

Absolutely loved the food and unique mix of flavors, as well as the incredibly fun atmosphere! We coincidentally visited during the Rugby World Cup, and most of the guests that day were supporting Ireland's team. Their enthusiasm and singing were contagious and made for a unique dining experience. The woman who welcomed us was rude and initially told us we couldn't dine there because they were full. We verified online and were able to secure a reservation an hour later. She said we were being sneaky (???) for trying to dine with them again, but apologized after we showed her the reservation confirmation. This was so unpleasant that we almost cancelled, but we didn't because we were hungry and already waited a long time. The reason for the high stars is because the food was truly delicious, our waitress was wonderful, and that particular day was very entertaining as the Irish team fans sang and celebrated. (I don't currently follow rugby, but this was entertaining.) A particular highlight was the ceviche, which was interestingly paired with sorbet (!), pickled red onion, paprika, blueberries and raspberry, and other spices. This combination seemed strange, but it was my absolute favorite dish in all of the places we visited in Paris! Truly memorable.

After walking by this restaurant we really wanted to eat at the same place that was painted in Renoirs painting of the same name. The interior is nice but looks nothing like the painting. It was a pretty good meal, I thought they could have used more seasoning. Nevertheless it was an experience for us as Moulin de la Galette is one of our favourite paintings and we even have a replica of it in our house. We ordered the frog leafs, beef Bourgignon, French onion soup, fish and duck confit dishes. I would say the fish was the best, then French onion soup, duck confit, beef bourgignon and frog legs. Service was pretty good. For those that complained about lack of service, my observation in France has been that lots of patrons like to lounge for long hours at restaurants and cafes so waiters may be leaving customers alone so they don't feel pressured to leave. Whenever I made eye contact or flagged anyone, things moved quickly. Anyways, it was a touristy yet memorable meal for us

Nice little restaurant near Montremartre, it has a famous background as it was in a Renoir painting once upon a time! We didn't have reservation and they told us we just had to be done by 7:30, which was easily done. For appetizer, we had burrata with egg and mushrooms, which was tasty. Nice and earthy. For main, my wife (vegetarian) had the mushroom pasta, which was tasty but a bit repetitive from the appetizer. I had the lamb, which hit the spot perfectly, as I wanted something traditionally French. We didn't get dessert and just had a glass of wine. Service was great and everything was clean. Good spot!

They were very accommodating and found a seat for us right next to the window. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out why so many people were staring in -seemingly at us. Then we realized this was a famous restaurant and on all the tours. Pretty cool to have dined at the same place as so many of the most famous artists in all of history. The food also hit the spot after our long flight from Minnesota. We were trying to push through the jet lag so lots of tea and coffee and some French food really helped. I believe it was the happy hour specials and warm indoor seating that drew us in.

First meal in Paris and it was yummy. I was nervous to order a steak because I do not enjoy my meat with blood. While the waitress did look flabbergasted at my request, she did not give me a hard time and the chef cooked it beautifully. Great flavor and tender chew. The fries I could have done without, nothing to be excited about. We then got the crème brûlée and it was nice and creamy with a great crust. Also the ambience is gorgeous!

Came here for my birthday in Montmartre- a bit touristy but cool enough to not skip over it. Very close to Sacré Cœur and has a gorgeous exterior with the windmill. The bœuf bourguignon was good and I heard good reviews about the fish as well. The set menu is a ton of food! The crème brûlée was sadly burnt on the bottom but the top and the middle tasted good. If you are polite to your server and attempt to communicate in French then you will have good service! Don't expect everyone to speak English and then be rude if they don't.

We LOVED our meals here. My father is a long time gourmet chef and he was impressed. A hidden gem in the gorgeous hills of Monmartre. Beautiful ambience as well, and we walked to Moulin Rouge afterward.

We were warned not to dine in Montmartre because all of the restaurants are tourist traps. We saw the Michelin Guide approval sticker and it looked fairly classy, so we did not heed our hotel's warning and ate here anyways. A total mistake. The red flags ... a prixe fixe menu, a sign out front giving the history of windmills and every other diner being British or American or Chinese. Also the waiter offered us a menu which had cheeseburgers listed on it when we said that the prixe fixe 3 courses might be too much food. Cheeseburgers and fine French dining usually dont go hand in hand. We sat outside in a fairly tacky patio area complete with multi-colored Christmas lights which had an oddly California type of vibe. The diners were all well dressed, probably because of the prices. The food, we both agreed, tasted like wedding food or casino buffet food. No love went into the preparation or ingredients. The duck a la orange was rubbery and overcooked. It tasted like someone had put in on a BBQ grill and left it too long. (We were told it was served 'rare and pink ... or cooked through'. I opted for cooked through as pink duck is horrifying.) The sauce was bland, watery and contained what looked like canned mandarin orange segments. In addition, it came with a potato cake which was raw in the middle and burned black on the edges. It lacked any sort of taste beyond starchy raw potato. The beef borginone came in its own pot and was basically a chewy cheap cut of meat which tasted like pot roast you had at a friend's house growing up. Again, a watery sauce that in no way resembled fine French cooking. It was more like a stew prepared in a big batch and ladeled out through the night. The chocolate mousse was brought to the table in a giant bowl by the water and scooped out and literally thrown from the spoon onto the plate in messy heaps. It looked like dog poo ... this was among the worst presentations I've ever seen in a restaurant. The strawberry dessert was simply whipped cream, dry strawberries and a small merengue. The waitstaff was friendly enough because clearly they cater to Americans and Brits, so they don't have that typical French attitude towards tourists. But overall, we felt like we were at a wedding and received food prepared in big batches with inexpensive ingredients and doled out vs. made to order. You'd be much better off going to the main street in Montmartre than this place. While the atmosphere was nice, the food quality was subpar for France and I felt if I was at a banquet hall in New Jersey or Kansas, I could have received the same quality. We felt as though we ruined our first night out in Paris by going here.

This place is all window-dressing. Don't fall victim for the facade! The food struggles to be mediocre... It's like a cruise ship buffet ran aground. The kid's meal was better than our mains.

Always make this a place to visit when I am in Paris. Great service nice staff and most importantly great food

We were excited to try the place as we had heard a lot about it leading up to our trip to France. The windmill outside is really cool but inside it is decorated horribly. Stuffed toy animals and fake plants, it was just weird. The service was not good, not bad just ok. The menu states you get entree, main and dessert for €39, that was not the case. We were charged double that amount. We barely ate our food, it was absolutely disgusting. My girlfriend got the mussels that looked like they were cooked in water not wine, they had no flavor. I forgot what I got, maybe the beef, but I just remember it was dry with no flavor. We got the check before dessert and went to grab food elsewhere. It's like Applebees opened up a French themed restaurant in Paris. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

We ordered the ceviche as a starter and it came with lemon sorbet and berries, I'm sorry I've really never in my life seen such a thing and for good reason. This place is fine if you want to have an overpriced cheese plate and cocktail in the neighborhood. Fun fact, 2 of the staff let us know that it was their first day there, another let us know it was her 8th day. Food for thought...

My wife and I had an amazing dinner here, the atmosphere, cuisine, and most importantly the warm service provided by Subh made this our most enjoyable and memorable meal during our visit in Paris. We can't wait to go back with our friends!

The food was delicious and the location is super cute! We ordered the fish dish on the menu and had cheese for dessert. The reason I gave only 3 stars is because we felt like they were kicking us out of this nice restaurant. The owner or whoever the guy in charge was also very fake and almost laughing at us. Every dish was provided with such a nice display, but when it was brought out the almost slapped the chocolate on my plate like they did not care.

Was expecting great things from this place. It started out bad when they brought the wrong drink out for my daughter - which isn't a bad thing, it happens. The waitress was admant that she didn't get it wrong, but we all were like, yeah sorry. Then the head waiter actually came out and asked if I ordered it and just didn't like it and then changed my order. I said no, we ordered the mojito, so he said, so my waiter is lying, when she said you ordered the this cocktail? Maybe it's the French way, but it wasn't a great way to start a meal. Then the oysters came out. Poorly shucked and not on ice. Bad! My kids ordered the mussels. The broth was pure wine. Not fully cooked at all. Yuck!!! We hoped that the crime brûlée was going to redeem them, but alas it was just fine. Nothing special. A little too airy. Then after waiting for 20 minutes for our check when we asked for it the waiter was like "Please?" Maybe I'm just too American, but this was the worst experience I had in Paris.

We were looking for a nice restaurant in Paris, last minute on a Sunday night. It turns out that a fair amount of restaurants close early, so we were happy to find that the windmill restaurant was open late. The one caveat is that the garden terrace closes at 10:30 to accommodate the neighbors and keep the noise down, we finished our meal and we're able to have our dessert and coffee in the front of the restaurant. So firstly, if you haven't been to this neighbor in Paris, it's definitely worth a trip. There are bars and restaurants all over as you wind up the hill toward the basilica, Sacré-Cœur. After dining it's quite a short walk to check out the church and there's another little neighborhood of restaurants and bars with open air seating just up the hill, a great place to have a drink or two and people watch. Back to the restaurant and food. It was simply terrific. Many options, Fresh flavors. I had the lamb which was terrific, they recommended to eat it "rare" which was honestly more rare than in my comfort zone, but it was great. I try to be super open-minded about food when I travel and asked the server what's the best way to eat the lamb.

Cutest little place , we saw it a year ago and knew we had to eat here on our next trip to Paris!! Excellent service, the staff was more than attentive and food was scrumptious

Okay, super nice spot on the river. We both had galettes and they were flavorful and quite filling a must in Bayeux, in my opinion.

This was the last night for my family and I in Paris. After researching a few places I came across Moulin. I made last minute reservations for five. The area is beyond amazing. When we arrived we were treated and greeted nicely. The food and the service was superb. We enjoyed our meal immensely. We speak two languages Spanish and English, I must say the servers were patient with us and they spoke English to us. It was a perfect way to end our last day in Paris. I will recommend this place to anyone and I hope to come back in the future.

We were actually going to another of our favorite restaurants for a very special occasion dinner but it had an unreasonable wait time. As we were walking back to our car we passed Le Moulin de la Galette as we had so many times before. As a spur of the moment thing, we stuck our head in to find there was no wait time, and we were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. The ambiance was incredibly delightful... cheerful and fun. The menu gave us a variety of wonderful options. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful and charming. Our food was perfect... delicious! This ended up being so much better than our original choice. I can't wait to return again!

This is my first time in Paris so I decided to check out a drawing tour. The guide ended the tour at the windmill and I was intrigued by its history. I also happened to be hungry. I usually don't expect much from touristy restaurants but I was super impressed by Le Moulin. They have a lot of English-speaking waiters so ordering was super easy and straightforward. I was surprised by how good the service was. They actually smiled a lot and were all super nice even though I'm a stupid American and forgot to say bonjour monsieur when I first came in. I ordered the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and creme brûlée. Both were amazing. This was definitely the best meal I've ever had in Paris. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and not dry at all because it's sitting on top of a puddle of super delicious sauce. The mashed potatoes were so much better than most thanksgiving mashed potatoes I've had in America. I didn't want to order dessert because I'm not a huge fan of sweets but I had to pick either appetizer/entree or entree/dessert. I was expecting the creme brûlée to be way too sweet but it was actually not bad. Probably the most tolerable creme brûlée I've ever had. Again, I'm don't like sweets that much so I'm sure most people would love it. It's a little pricey but when you're in Paris you just have to yolo a bit.

Such a historic and popular venue. It's charming. Our dining experience lived up to the hype. We opted for the dinner special, appetizer and main for me, main and dessert for my wife. I had the deep fried king prawns with sweet chili sauce and they were eye rolling good as was the sea bass. My wife had the filet cooked to perfection and so tender a knife was barely needed. She finished with her favorite, Crème Brûlée. A lovely French Chardonnay with my meal. Polite, professional service. If you're in this beautiful part of Paris, this restaurant is a treat!

I really have no idea why this restaurant is busy! Food is bland and service is absolutely horrible! We sat in a table near the door because we didn't have reservations and we were pretty much the forgotten table. The sea bass was YUCK and so was the beef Bourguignon! Bread was good and I will let you be the judge for the chocaste mousse. NASTY!!

Made a reservation for 1 here on my last night in Paris, somewhere down the line there was a miscommunication and they thought that I was waiting on someone else. So make sure you confirm! Other than that, the food was really great. I opted for their angus steak and strawberry dessert. The steak was done perfectly and the dessert, albeit simple, was really delicious. Especially with the merengue shards. The service was great, atmosphere and decor was pristine and elegant, would definitely come back during my next stay in Paris!

I have been trying the chicken dishes here in Paris during my two week stay because I've been told French chickens taste better than what we typically eat in the US. The chicken here was very good. The veggies it came with had a hint of truffle flavor. The price was very reasonable and the wait staff were kind even though they didn't speak much English. Nice spot!

Just WOW! The flavors in all the dishes we tried were just beautifully balanced. One of my favorite restaurants in Paris. Lovely knowledgeable staff, relaxed & comfortable interior with larger tables, good space between them and plush comfortable chairs. We did a tour from Paris Walks of Montmartre, that I highly recommend, then we made reservations for a relaxed lunch. It was a perfect end to a perfect day. I had a pan roasted cod dish that I would not let anyone at my table taste because I wanted it ALL. It was melt in your mouth amazing! If you want to experience an overall beautiful meal & atmosphere, all old world Paris, this is the place!

2 stars for ambience only. The food was OK, nothing to write home about ( especially if you are from a foodie city like ours SF). The service was poor. We were one of only 2 parties in the restaurant at 6 pm, and yet I only received half my order (mussels with fries but I had to ask for the fries 15 min later). Maybe come here just for a drink and a dessert...

Food here was good - fine dining French cuisine with a prefixed menu (pick app+main+dessert for 39 Euro or app/dessert +main for 31). If you want quintessential French food, this is a good choice--from escargot to French onion soup to beef bourgignon, all the classics were there, plus some very inventive options (for example, I got beetroot carpacio with salmon paste and berry sorbet). Our service was very strange as it started out perfectly fine, but then suddenly went downhill after our main course. We waited almost 30 mins for our dessert for no apparent reason.

Our reso for Le coq rico was at 7:30 but my partner was super hungry so we decided to dined here instead at 5:30. We dined outside in the garden which was soo beautiful. The food was delish, the atmosphere was beautiful and rustic with the windmill above us, and our waitress was just charming and delightful.

This was our 2nd time at this restaurant, but first time at this restaurant since it was renovated. It is a historic restaurant being located in the Momarte district proximate to Moulin Rouge, frequented by many famous French artists and other famous authors over the years. It is one of two remaining original windmills located in Paris. Interesting side story is that at one point, hundreds of years ago, a local miller was actually nailed to the windmill - according to Rick Steves Book. The food this second time did not disappoint. We had a foie gras pate to start followed by a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin and a delicious chocolate cake dessert. The service was extremely friendly to us Americans - without us even pretending to be Canadian! There's a charming rear outdoor seating area that feels like you're in the countryside. I definitely plan on returning for our next visit to Paris.

Don't try to come here if you're American. I was strolling through Montmarte at 9:00 PM on Music Day - a day when very few people were "dining out" at stuffy restaurants like this. When I stumbled upon this place. It looked cute, so I walked in and asked the Frog at the bar - presumably the owner, "when could it be possible for me to get a table outside?" To which he replied, "There are no tables." To which, I asked "How about inside." He replied, "There are no tables. Inside or out. We are fully booked." As I looked around the restaurant, I counted 13 out of approximately 20 tables were EMPTY. This place is owned and operated by bigots. If you are French, perhaps you will enjoy it. Other cultures need not apply.

The staff was very courteous and polite. My daughter is a vegetarian and our waiter talked with the chef who prepared a wonderful vegetarian meal for her. I had a cod from their daily menu recommendation which was exceptional too. Cauliflower soup was a nice starter. The small courtyard is beautiful and I would love to return here sometime.

Loved this place. Super relaxed supper in the garden followed by cheese and champagne inside. Great area. Great service

Lovely service, delicious food, and romantic decor. The deserts were the best part. I can't recall the name of mine but it had a chocolate hazelnut creamer. Excellent!

Delicious food. The grilled steak and John Dory (a fish) were excellent. The meringue and strawberry dessert was a hit. Worth the trip. Plus the socre coure was a short walk away.

What a disappointment. Le Moulin de la Galette had come highly recommended so I was looking forward to a wonderful experience. Instead, I was served probably the worst quality lamb I have ever had and we were over-charged on our bill. We had to fight with the waiter and manager to get the amount corrected. Tourists BEWARE, this place is an over-priced trap and the staff preys on non-French speakers. AVOID.

What a gem! This restaurant was absolutely delicious! The french onion soup was outstanding. The service was incredible. Super attentive waiters. We loved the relaxing ambiance and the location was incredible! This is a real historic treat since it has a windmill from the 1600's right on top! Definitely recommend this restaurant! Reservations recommended.

I loved this place. Food was great, service was warm and friendly. Decor so cool. Thought this was going to be a tourist trap but it wasn't. Great ambiance as well with great history. I highly recommend after a walk around Montmartre.

Such a nice experience! We went for the X-mas Eve dinner. Very reasonably priced for what it was at 95e each. The restaurant is lovely - upscale w/o seeming overly pretensious. Every dish was lovingly prepared and beautifully executed. The wait staff were pleasant and accomodating. They truly made it feel like a special experience. Highly recommended!

We stopped by Le Moulin de la Galette for a break on our tour of Montmartre. We started with the poarched marans egg, creamed onion puree and sauteed wild craterllus mushrooms. These were delicious and so creamy. For the main courses we got the pig cheeks and the cod. Both were very good, but the pig cheeks was better overall and so tender. But the star of the show was the Kalapaia chocolate. It was very reasonable priced for Paris, and they spoke English if you need. Hope to return one day for dinner instead of brunch.

Friendly staff and amazing meal. This restaurant came highly recommended by a local and they did not disappoint. My hubby had the escargot which he said was amazing. I had the best froi gras. The lamb shoulder was tender and cooked to perfection. But the creme brûlée was the best version I had in Paris.

Beautiful restaurant, great food, excellent service. It is definitely a perfect recommendation for anyone going to Montmartre or just looking for a cool place.
