With a host of international beers, a speedy bottle-chilling machine, and a row of chess tables at patrons’ disposal, Guillaume Lucas’ shop is a welcome addition to the rue des Martyrs. A good place to pick up something on the way to a party or picnic, but you can also pass a few hours here, playing chess and sipping quality beer.
Far off the beaten path, this place is one of Paris’ very best beer bars. The three rotating taps include two French craft beers and one bière ordinaire, and the bottle menu presents five pages of small-production craft beers brewed in France.
Opened in late 2012, this is the first brewery in Paris proper in many decades. Brewed in small batches with flavors inspired by the neighborhood’s African markets and offering brewery visits, free tastings, and bottles to go.
The winner of the 2012 Grand Prix de la Baguette de Paris, i.e., the best baguette in Paris.
Of all the questions we’re asked about dining in Paris, “where to eat in Montmartre?” is among the most frequent and the most difficult. It’s a charming area, and the bakeries are impressive, but the Butte is largely barren when it comes to good restaurants. There are, however, a few fresh options. We’ve listed our five favorites, along with a few backup options that don’t totally suck.
This wine shop on the quiet side of Montmartre has an extensive collection of Absinthe.
Natural wines and simple cooking rule at this low-key Montmartre bistro.
A Montmartre cheese shop with a (usually) friendly, knowledgeable staff.
This way to the cheese, on the quiet side of Montmartre.
Virginie sells only raw-milk cheeses at her lovely Montmartre shop.
This Montmartre bakery was a top-ten finisher in the 2007 and 2008 Grand Prix de la Baguette.
This bakery finished 5th in the 2011 Grand Prix de la Baguette.
This funky Montmartre bistro is open late.
A charming — and fragrant — spice shop in Montmartre.
The menu at Le Petit Trianon is typical café and brasserie fare: Croques monsieur et madame, salads, and tartines. What’s atypical is the quality of the ingredients. Open 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day, continuously.
Run by the team behind Le Miroir, this wine shop serves charcuterie, cheese, radishes and butter, a plat du jour or two.
This place is known mainly for its giant, meaty salads.
