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.

What is life in Paris really like? I often get asked and while I try to document the best things to do and places to eat and drink here. ?Paris is so much more than what we see on instagram or a series of dining and gastronomical experiences.
