We had the Parisian breakfast, which was lovely. A very reasonable price, just over €10. Beautiful vintage interior and view of the square outside. Our waitress was friendly, I would go back!

One of the best experiences as an Asian customer! Amazing food, atmosphere, and service—no discrimination. Despite the busy day, our waitress was incredibly respectful and attentive. She recommended the escargot, and it was outstanding! Highly recommend for a memorable experience!

Quaint little restaurant tucked away in the artist’s square in Montmarte. We ordered the French onion soup, croque monsieur and the Margaret duck - portion sizes were great, everything was cooked well. The wait staff was very rushed and they brought us our bill as we were taking our last bites of our meal, which was a shame. We would’ve loved to have dessert… but guess they had other plans? Other than that, pretty good experience overall.

Me and my girlfriend just randomly stumbeld upon this nice, cozy and romantic little restaurant on Montmartre hill. We were looking for genuine French onion soup but couldn't find it anywhere for normal price when this cozy little restaurant appeared in front of us. :) They had the soup for far more reasonable price than other restaurants near-by. The waitress was super-friendly, helpfull and smiled all the time, the interior is classic looking which gives you the romantic feeling and guess what else? Thay have a CAT!!! :) :) :) I just love cats! They had me at "hello" ;) The cat was peacefully sleeping on the next chair since it wasn't crowded inside. This is a big "+' from me. :) If you go to Montmarte to visit the church and after you feel the need to eat, you can never miss with this romantic, cozy and nostalgic restaurant. And also because they are way cheaper than the competition. At least in the case of Onion soup. :)

I had a really nice and fresh chèvre chaud salad. The waiter was new and approached several times for the order but very friendly. Overall I had a great experience and it’s a cute place for such a crazy touristic area

I recently visited this restaurant in Paris and it truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere feels effortlessly elegant, the service is warm and attentive, and every dish is prepared with so much detail and flavour. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced — you can really feel the passion of the chefs. The desserts deserve a special mention: absolutely unforgettable. If you’re looking for a place in Paris that combines great ambience, amazing food, and excellent service, this spot is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back for sure!

I have been there with my godchild. It was october and therefore a bit quieter than in the high tourist seasons. It was a nice ambiance and the waitress was very nice. We waited a few minutes for the drinks, and she was very sorry for that, even though we haven't been in a hurry. Food was ok and the prices reasonable.
