Le Progrès

Nothing is wrong at this place! The food is great! Service is fantastic! Great variety of French dishes and good selection of drinks too! We tried the snails, onion soup, the bone marrow and some salads. All tasted great! They have a good selection of desserts as well!

Best place in the area! Perfect and very kind service, the vibes are for sure there and there share a laughter with you. The food is so fresh and vibrant of taste. The restaurant, cozy, perfect to watch people go by, and enjoy some amazing food which gets all the needed attention. Worth coming back for all the way from the Netherlands Enjoy!

Great bar that my wife and I visited during our quick trip to Paris. Friendly and welcoming staff. We loved the conversations and felt like we were at home. Go check it out and tell them KP and V said hi!

Just happened to be by this restaurant, and we sure glad we decided to try it out. The service was excellent. We ordered the special of the day, and the ribs were tender and delicious. The atmosphere was lively. Highly recommend.

A wonderful slice of authentic Parisian bistro fare! We enjoyed a lovely dinner outside, with people strolling by. The escargots and baked Camembert with honey and baguette were tasty starters and the special of the day was pork and potatoes in a BBQ sauce. Everything was delicious and the service was super friendly. A gem in the heart of Montmartre, just below the Sacre Coeur.

Another wonderful place for lunch after seeing Sacre Coere and tne Monmatre area. The Octopis Linguine was a big hit with my wife and kids while I devoured tbe Steak Tartare.

Super-cozy, neighborhood restaurant with a revolving menu full of classics. Great vibe, great drinks, friendly service. Will definitely return.

The location is fantastic, in the charming Montmartre area of Paris, providing a quintessential Parisian atmosphere. We sampled a variety of dishes including the Onion Soup, Escargots, Grilled Octopus, and the special steak of the day—a perfectly cooked Lamb Shank. It's worth noting that the menu has been updated, so the food offerings we enjoyed were different from those mentioned in previous reviews. If you're in Montmartre, I highly recommend giving Le Progress a visit for a memorable meal.

Solid French restaurant near Sacre Coeur, 4 minutes walk from Abbesses metro station. The restaurant was recommended by an art gallery owner in Montmartre, where we had spent most of the late afternoon. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived at the only indoor table available. They had outdoor tables but we chose not to sit there because of all the smoking patrons. Once we had settled in, we took a look at the drinks and food menus, pleasantly surprised to find that they were in English. We ordered drinks and appetizers, plus one entrée to share. We were the only tourists there (all others were locals), but the servers were friendly and attentive and spoke excellent English. The drinks arrived quickly, and the food soon afterward. My wife loved her amaretto, and our daughter her Limonade. I happily sipped my Rebelle (wheat) beer as we shared the Camembert (perfectly baked), Guinea fowl stew with mashed potatoes (superb), and bone marrow (my favorite, but disliked by the missus and kids) family-style. The only dish I didn't get to try was the vegetable tart. We finished up with two delightful desserts - crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. Total bill was a little over €100. Bathrooms were adequate. Glad we came.

Great onion soup and limoncello spritz. Good service take your time. The soup fills the spot.

Hit the spot - drinks weren't too expensive and the food was good. Very nice to sit outside!!

10/10 dining. The staff are nice, the food is delicious (we ordered 8 things and not a single one disappointed), and the location is convenient (right near montmarte). I recommend the pork ribs! Only downside is that the restaurant is really small so it feels a bit cramped, but everything else is worth it!

On the hunt for a restroom in Montmatre and a hankering for something sweet, I stopped in for an evening drink. The special was the Pomelo Spritz which boasted some of my favorite ingredients. Absolutely delicious. Service was awesome and price was great. The vibe is certainly Parisian Cafe. They had a menu but I didn't try the food. Great vibes and people watching after a long day.

Came here due to a couple other restaurants nearby being booked up. Wasn't bad. We had the escargot, which was a little bland and could have used a little more garlic or basil. I had a steak (special of the day) and my wife had the duck confit. My steak wasn't bad. My wife loved her duck, but I thought it was pretty average. Prices a little high compared to a couple other bistros/brasseries we've been to in Paris this week. Service was better though! Overall not bad, and worth it if a) in the area and b) the other restaurants in the immediate area are full.

My wife and I had taken the metro up to Sacre Cour for a little sightseeing when the weather turned foul and we dove for cover inside Le Progrès. We were seated quickly and attended to efficiently. It is quite a lovely little place with a great view of an intersection leading up to Sacre Cour. We each just had a cappuccino while the weather cleared up, but the waiter was kind and patient with our broken French. Would have loved to make it back for lunch and a pint, but we had to power on!

Very nice people here. We came just before noon but they still seated us and took drink orders while we waited for the kitchen to open. The drinks were reasonable in price and very tasty. In addition, I was very impressed with their hamburger. I felt like it even tasted better then our favorite burger joint back home in Texas. The steak was the other dish that we had. Though I asked for medium, it actually came out medium. Usually its medium rare... In either case, they drenched that little sucker in butter and it really didn't matter to me whether or not it was medium or medium rare at that point. Great service and great food... I can't ask for more in a touristy area like Montmartre.

Like most, the hike to Sacré Cœur and subsequent Montmartre wanderings on a rainy day literally compels you to stop for something warm and rich. This was perfect. Decent wine selection, tasty risotto with shrimp and scallops though risotto itself was slightly bland and required some self-peppering. The seafood was cooked to perfection. Service was pleasant and not rushed. Perfect spot!

Typical world infamous crappy french service attitude. Some douche french dude server with no manners. Ruins the whole experience. Nothing on the small menu you can't find on every other corner.

We had bacon cheeseburgers and fries, a 1664 beer, and wine at an outdoor table. Service was excellent and efficient and prices were average. Great people watching and a relaxing spot. Some smoke drifted our way but not too much. It worked.

After a quick sightseeing trip to Sacre Couer high atop Montmartre we descended into Lower Montmartre toward Pigalle and found the little brasserie Le Progrès across the street from another one--Café Chappe, and also from a pizzeria and a charcuterie place. The €18.50 lunch menu enticed us with its deal of appetizer (they call it entree) plus main or main plus dessert for that price. The two of us got parsnip soup and onion quiche as starters and roast pork with chorizo, potato gratin; and steak frites with bleu cheese sauce and a past its prime mesclun salad. Other than the salad everything was pretty good--but somewhat under-seasoned and lacking sparkle. We ordered one glass of beer and a large bottle of sparkling water. The tab was €57. Not bad for a meal in Montmartre but next time we will look around some more and try a different place. Service is competent although the server challenged my claim that the salad wasn't fresh-he asked how our food was and I was honest. The mushy, blackened lettuce pieces were left on my plate as evidence, for god's sake. The dining room is bright and pretty and the location is on a vibrant street in Montmartre. You could do worse but you could also do much better.

This restaurant has lots of atmosphere, good food and you can enjoy a superb view on the night/street life of Montmartre. The waiters skillfully negotiate the narrow aisles and are friendly. The soundscape was way too loud for my taste.

We stopped in here for breakfast several times during our visit to Paris. We enjoyed the breakfast that came with fresh, warm bread, jam, orange juice, and a coffee or hot chocolate. It was a nice place to slowly wake up and people watch. The young woman who was working there in the mornings was very nice, despite my french being terrible. She remembered what we had come in for previously and asked if we'd like the same thing, so she saved me the struggle of trying to order again. All in all, a nice little spot for a light breakfast.

Planning to eat but Went to use the bathroom first and was asked to leave. Very rude. Slamming drinks on our table after we ordered. Stay away.

I was around Sacred Heart Church area and decided to eat with my friends here. Wao amazing food, excellent service. I came back next day. Im a pescatarian and their menu was perfect for me. Also they have meats and chicken.

The Progrès serves up some really delicious food. Great value and not matter what you order you won't be dissatisfied. A 3 minute walk from the sacre coeur and out door seating perfect for people watching. Friendly service and worth a visit at any time of the day.

We really enjoyed our lunch here before trekking to the Sacré-Cœur. We ordered two entrees from the lunch board and 12 escargos. Everything was very tasty. Our favorite were the ribs, beautifully sauced with perfectly-cooked fresh veggies. The meal wasn't cheap and it was really hot sitting inside (heat wave in Paris and outside tables were taken) but the service was friendly (by Paris-standard) and the beers ice-cold. They had a long list of other drinks also. I highly recommend this cute little place for when in Montmartre.

Yum! We popped in here for lunch after we'd ogled Le Mur de Je T'Aime and Sacre Coeur. The reason we came in is because they had escargots on the menu. My sister had never tried them and I said she needed to. So, obviously, we ordered escargots. We also shared a meal which started with an intense salad with smoked fish. It was good, but quite strong. For the main, we had a crispy skinned white flaky soft fish, which was incredible. It was the best fish we'd ever had and it was drizzled in some sort of wine-based cream sauce. It was delicious. Our server was so nice and helpful and sweet and didn't push us to order extra food even though we were two people sharing one thing.

Great steak frites! The portion is very generous, for 16.50. The ambiance is very nice - very classical but casual, with nice large windows. The wine we had was great, for 5 euros. The chicken was a little bland though. Service was pretty good for France.

After our five mile hike from our hotel up and to the Sacre Coeur we popped in for a bite to eat. We sat outside enjoying the perfect views of Montmartre. The waitress was helpful with recommendations from the lunch board. The gazpacho and goat cheese Apéritifs are outstanding here, steaks were a bit overdone even after ordering them rare, and the french-fries were perfectly crisp and non-oily. All and all not a bad choice when in the area.

This place is everything that's right with dining. Perfect service, great food, fun and low-key atmosphere. Went with people from ages 3 to 70 and everyone loved it!

Like most we stopped in after hiking Montmartre. It was exactly what we wanted. Our daughter had very tasty crepes. My wife's salade niçoise was perfect. I had the special of the day which was a steak au poivre. The cut was a rump steak that was served medium rare and matched wonderfully with a rich, peppery sauce and crispy frites. The half liter of Côtes du Rhône was perfect. Service was attentive. A little smoky on the street but nothing abnormal for Paris.

Not much to say since we sat for over 30 minutes with no service. Once they began serving people around us who arrived after we left for a friendlier location.

I came here with 4 others and we each ordered a different plate and shared them all. Everything that came out was delicious. All of us would have been happy with any of the selections we made. I can't remember what they were but the fact that everything was good makes this place a winner in my book.

Great specials, delicious food, good wine. Close to furnicular(for Sacre coeur). Small space, cosy and cute

It is painful to leave Paris. I figure if I share with you some of what is wonderful it might keep me connected. I spent most of my food and drink money here (also Pain Pain- the lovely blue bakery around the corner with exquisite quiche and adorable prices). The menu is exciting and everything is delicious and beautifully plated. My favorite part is the staff (I wish I would have gotten their names). I watched school kids come in for a drink of water and an elderly woman have her espresso stirred when it was too difficult. Le Progrès is under new ownership as of the last 5 months, so any older reviews are meaningless. Paris has my heart as does this little brasserie.

One of my favorite restaurants in Montmartre. Gorgeous salon, friendly staff, excellent food at reasonable prices. Friendly, professional staff. Highly drinkable wine, beers, and cocktails. I've never been disappointed by the food, either in quality or quantity. The troisieme de canard, or whatever it's called, CANNOT BE BEAT! Used to live just around the corner; still take all my visiting friends here (even though I have to schlep from the 14th). Highly recommend!

This place was great, right on a corner for good people watching. My lamb was excellent, I'm usually not a lamb person but it was paired with these cooked figs that made it heavenly. Servers were very nice, and spoke English (if that's important to you). Seemed to be a very good mix of locals and tourists, the place was completely packed by the time we left. Definitely recommend!

The Space itself is nice, close to the Sacre Coeur, with large windows and a high ceiling. The food is good too, a bit expensive. Their desserts aren't the best, but their mains are usually nice and tasty. Service tends to be a bit slow.

The food was good. But it took a very long time to bring foods. And at the end, foods arrived one by one every 10 mins. Worst was for the desert. It tools more than 40 mins and it didn't arrive. So we gave up at the end.

Lovely staff, great people watching! A very fun experience for all. Stumbled upon this place a couple of times now- very casual and good for drinks or food.

It might be a total exception but we really had an awful experience at "Le Progres". To put my review in perspective, I have never written a negative review of anything or had any quarrel at any restaurant (or shop) ever before (and I am not in my 20s). However, this experience was so bad that it ended in a "lively" argument with the manager. The waitress was nice all along and the food OK (but not better than OK). However, after forgetting our initial order (for which she offered the first glass of wine which is nice), she also forgot our desert and left us alone for 40 minutes while chatting and having a cigarette outside. We therefore decided to ask for the bill. After waiting in line for 10 minutes to get our credit card processed, the guy at the counter decided to allow one guy to get in front of us and then another one (while all he had to do was process our card which takes 30 sec anyway while the other guys had to sort out a huge bill). Anyway, at this point, I told him I wanted to pay and this all went downhill from there, with us leaving after a very vocal "discussion" with the manager. Go there if you want to be treated like sh***.
