20 GOOD PLACES TO EAT AROUND THE SACRE COEUR, NO TOURIST TRAPS!
There are tons of places to eat around the Sacre Coeur church in Montmartre. As this is my neighborhood and one of the places I often share with folks visiting Paris for tours here are my top places as a local and foodie.
Let’s get into it loves!
- Brasseries Barbes
has typical french food in a trendy bistro-style setting close to the busting Barbes metro. A great place to experience the real everyday Montmartre; and watch from the second-floor glass windows the trains passing overhead. You can read a full review here
Address: 2 Boulevard Barbès, 75018 Paris

(but do look out for pickpockets close to the metro!)
2. Hardware Society
is literally at the foot of Sacre Coeur and in addition to being one of the best places to get real third-wave coffee the brunches are spectacular, and the decor is super colorful.

3. Bouillon Pigalle
Perhaps my favorite place to eat in all of the 18th arrondissement so much so that every time i go i don’t even have to order my favorite dessert the waiters know it by heart – the super mega beautiful and yummy profiterol!
Your best bet if to go a bit before opening to avoid the line or even if there’s a line it goes fast because there’s tons of seating inside and even a view upstairs over the place Pigalle.
You can get a traditional french meal here – think french onion soup, escargots, steak and fries, all the shebang under 10 euros – pretty much unheard of!

Closes 12AM

4. Pain Pain
For a fast lunch; go here to this bakery with an instagramable interior. No Pain no gain! (I couldn’t resit!) You have to experience a true Parisian sandwich lunch here – go get the baguette fix of your life but also drool over the amazing pastries inside Pain Pain ( which means bread bread)
Just a few steps away from the metro Abbesses and on the shopping street of Rue de Martyrs.
Address: 88 Rue des Martyrs, 75018 Paris
Closes 8PM
5. La Bonne Franquette
Normally you want to avoid many of the restaurants just beside the Sacre Cour around Place Tetre, but not the case with La Bonne Franquette that is as much an historical institution and local favorite for great traditional french food and wine. And some of the best artists woud dine here like Pissarro, Sisley, Cézanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Monet, Zola
Address: 18 Rue Saint-Rustique, 75018 Paris

6. Le Moulin de la Galette
One of the hidden gems on the hill full of history close to the old vineyard and an old dancehall ( Renoirs Jardin was painted from the back of here; Bal du moulin de la Galette is an 1876 painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.)
One of the only remaining windmills in Montmartre. Add the gastronomy ( they have a Michelin star) – the fixed price meal is a steal! I feel almost guilty sharing this spot – but goodness should not b kept to oneself
Plan a romantic dinner here!
