Ideally located in the heart of Montmartre, it is impossible to miss the impressive and famous Moulin de la galette !

The restaurant, that has just been renovated, is situated close to our most luxurious properties.

With a strong history and expertise, this family venture offers traditional French cuisine. The wine menu will please the connoisseurs. I was lucky enough to try out the food.

I loved the sober but cosy environment, as well as the refined cuisine. I recommend the scallops with endives and meringue lemon tart. Just delicious!

I had the opportunity to eat at Dalida’s table, who used to live next to the restaurant. She was a regular client.

In the old days, the joyful atmosphere of freedom and pleasure attracted artists, as well as upper class people, looking to enjoy a hearty meal…

These are some of the reasons that lead Renoir to name two of his paintings after the famous restaurant.
