Aaah ! The memories came.flooding back ! 27 years ago , I lived in Rue Caulaincourt in a ground floor studio flat, and at the entrance to the courtyard on one side was a boulangerie and the other side was a Franprix ! I was spoiled for choice re food! I worked for a famous French actor couple for 2 years there in that neighborhood and I ate with them at many great local restaurants..If you walk down towards Barbes, the smells of Tagines and Couscous on Fridays would be tempting ! Haven't been back for a while , I am sure it has changed a lot . Do you think your audience would like a tour of cuisine from les Antilles, Afrique du Nord, Senegal etc ?
We had lunch at Cafe Restaurant Suzanne today. It was excellent - the food quality and their location were perfect for a visit to Sacre Coeur while avoiding the tourist crowds just a couple of blocks away.
Hello nice couple, good suggestion, I can’t wait to try them wen I travel to France…one thing I like about ur blog u always mention the price & cost to eat in a particular place, have a nice day & always take care…
I second the recommendation that you add Le Bon Bock to your list. I had the escargots and chicken in Camembert sauce - not to be missed! And it’s the oldest restaurant in Montmartre
Slowly liking the content you are building up and even stepping into the photography and research side in the travels. I've been watching the videos for some time, but I've noticed the video, composition, planning and not to mention the time and effort that goes into these videos are really showing results and improvement. thank you for sharing and you gained a new subscriber! look forward, to more videos and recommendations foods, places, experience.
Our all time favorite place to eat has been Chez Andre at 22 Rue Marburf. We have been going to this place for over twenty years and always eat there at least twice per trip. They have all the comfort food which we love!
Yay!!!! I’m so happy that one of my restaurant stops made your list! I went on a solo trip and I wasn’t prepared for the uphill climb and the winding staircase when I left the metro. I was so winded and tired and saw that cute restaurant that I decided to stop for lurch. It was so delicious and the view was amazing. I also chatted with some English diners that were so friendly and courteous that they took a pic of me there so I could remember my experience. I hope to go back to Le Relais de la Butte! ❤️
I really enjoyed this tour. My favorites in Monmarte are sill La Maison Rose 2 Rue de l'Abreuvoir, 75018 Paris, France (Pink house café Monmarte) and L'Ete en Pente Douce at the east end of the stairs from Sacre Cour. Love the recomendations for sure. You folks have the best video VBlog suggestions. Cafe Suzanne sounds amazing.
Thanks for this comment! My daughter and I will be in Paris in September and plan to get a reservation at Maison Rose. I have seen a few not so great reviews so I’m happy to see it’s someone’s favorite! Would love to hear other opinions as well.
Another well-produced and helpful video. Duck confit is one of my favorite things to eat, so Le Petit Canard is huge find for me. A lot of other lesser known gems in here too. Well done!
My wife and I are planning 6-week trip to Europe this summer (June, July, August) We love watching your food videos. We are putting a list together of your recommendations. The hard part will be narrowing them down. Thanks for doing an amazing job!!!
Oh my! Guys, so much food for thought! I just love seeing the sights of Paris through your vlogs! I cannot wait to go back to Paris and wander round those delicious streets that you show us! Need to get my hip replacement surgery first though!😩😬 Keep doing what you do, just love it!👍❤️
I watched many of your videos before my trip to Paris with my wife and l’m so thankful l did! My wife had wanted to go to a fondue spot that looked like a complete tourist trap and she came to her senses upon arriving. We decided to bail and l told her, “follow me….Bouillon Pigalle is very close by.” We went and enjoyed a quintessential Brasserie experience for very little money. Thank you for the recommendation, it was delicious!
I was in Paris last summer and ate at Le Relais de la Butte more than once, I second the recommendation! The food and wine was great, and I loved the service - we loved a particular cheese from the cheese board, and there was no problem with ordering an off-menu mini-cheeseboard with just that. We actually stayed at the Timhotel just across the square - it's no frills, but a reasonable price and given the location a pretty good choice if you're spending most of your day out and about.
We have just came back from our Paris trip from the UK, we took a gamble on your channel and recommendations and we were not disappointed we managed to get to 3 of them with Bouillon Pigalle being our favourite, it was so excellent we visited twice, great value. You two are great and entertaining, thank you 😀
How can Antoine have almost no accent? It’s amazing! I just love your videos and have binged almost all of them. Thank you for your insight and great “insider” recommendations. I always want to eat at and visit places the locals go. So thank you also for including those. Take care. On y va!!
Great video! Some really good selections here! If I can add a couple: Marcel, on Avenue Junot, is a really cute local restaurant on a quiet street with some really good food. Also, Hardware Societé, on Rue Lamarck near Sacré Coeur, has a phenomenal brunch. Be prepared to wait during peak hours, though.
Je m'appelle Marie Denise. When I went to Paris by myself in '12 I had heard of a well known restaurant...Chez Denise. I was to be meeting a French woman, via a friend, and I told her I wanted to eat there! So she took me there. Delish. Also, I stayed in Montmatre in a hostel. On my daily walks around the area, I stumbled upon a bistro off the beaten path, Chez Marie!! I had to eat there too!! Such memories!!!
We just returned from Paris and tried both Cafe Suzanne and Bimbo. Both were spectacular. There was smoking outside Bimbo, which was unpleasant, but the food was great. Cafe Suzanne was the best food we had all week. Thank you for the recommendations.
Bonjour Les Frenchies. C’est Josef. I arrived yesterday. Hotel is very accommodating and there is going to be a marche domain. Yesterday I lunched at an artisanal Boulangerie. After some sleep and a shower, I wondered around and decided to have a planchette of charcuterie and 50cls cote de bruillie at the corner café les Oiseaux. Everyone a local. Today was café et croissant at another artisan bakery. Outstanding. I took metro line 2 to Piggale and 12 to Abbesse. OMG, since I have never used this exit before, I had no idea about how many levels and the horrible number of steps. They really should have a warning. I’ll be dining at Bouillon Pigalle soon and le bon bock which are closer. I’m glad to be staying and immersed in Montmartre/Pigalle area. Much different from the Ar’s that run parallel to the Seine. I never remember the weather in Paris this warm. Fortunately I dress in layers. A bientôt. Josef.
Merci mes amies. Last evening I dined at Bouillon Pigalle. I made a reservation for 18:00 hrs on their website. A small line was there but quite long at 21:00 when I left. I had a perfect table for one. The servers were nice and competent. Of course I had les oeuf mayonnaise and beef bone marrow as entrees. Roasted veal was my plate principal. All excellent. Disappointed in the bahbah au rhum. 50cls of cote du rhone for 7 euros. L’addition totalled 29€. I know your fans are always looking for places the “locals” go. The artisanal bakery Leonie is wonderful. Located at the corner of Place d’Anvers (a family friendly park) and Rue Gérando. This morning many young French parents were there with their children. The breads, Viennoiserie, coffee and service are outstanding. I will have my petite déjeuner there again tomorrow before I head to my airb&b on rue Cardinale Lemoine. I’m staying there for 10 days. I hope you are doing well. Josef.
Another Lovely video! Thank you so much. I especially enjoyed that you featured locations from the movie Amelie. It is one of my all time favorite movies. I can't even tell you how many time I have watched it, because to me it is a feel good movie. Your videos are feel good moments for me as well. Thank you again!
That’s on our hit list for tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us today., I know how busy ye both are but I had to say! I’d have regretted it if I did. Ye are more beautiful in person than on video too Colleen you were glowing.. And I’ll keep watching. I’m after fallin in love with Paris so weather it’s with my sons or my husband I’m coming back Thank you again and that you for the pictures xx
We ended up going to Bouillon Pigalle for steak and fries And OMG was it beautiful! Melt in your mouth. I meant it when I said we plan out days around your suggestions. Thank you again. I’ve fallen in love with paris so I will definitely be back! It was the most beautiful bonding session with my son. Memories are worth more than any money! Lots of love x
Truly enjoyed watching your show - wonderful job. I plan on visiting next early week February 2023. I plan on visiting some of the places you have recomended.
Bouillon Pigalle was a total failure for me today during lunch. The ambiance, service and prices were great. But the veal Milanese was tough as rubber and the French onion soup had less flavor than the ones you get at Costco. My total was around 17 euro but even at that cheap price, I’d have to say it made my worst 3 meals list in my 9 visits in Paris.
Le Coq Rico is our favorite place in Montmartre. They serve many types of French heritage breed poultry. We have nothing like the quality and taste in the USA. On y va to taste the best chicken in the world (Bresse chicken)!
just a suggestion, mainly from international tourists who don't speak French and usually travel with family who are in an older generation that definitely do not speak a second language. It would be great to know if and which restaurants also cater English menu. Of course, it does go a long way if they did use French or basic survival of the language. However, I noticed from their culinary and ordering experience, they went to parisan restaurants to find what locals eat and some places were difficult for them to order (primarily due to the staff at the time unable or have limited skills in English). Just a thought if you think that may be helpful to your videos. Nevertheless, great recommendations, thank you
Man I love you guys and your videos! Going to be in Paris with my aunt and cousins from Peru in September.. taking notes and maybe see you in one of the bistros/brasseries you recommend! Have you tried “Le Cepage Monmartrois?’
Thank you for bringing us such a useful content, I love it. It helps in my planning for the August trip. It would be great if you could recommend flea market in Paris. looking forward to seeing it :)
Boullion pigalle might be one of cheaper choice but the waiter is quite rude! It is just an affordable restaurant where you can try common french food , the similar level of food is everywhere you can find in Monmarte!
We actually went there (Bouillon Pigalle) and we stood in line for an hour with no entrance (we arrived at 17h45 already). They take reservations now and basically all reservations went in while we stood, and stood, and stood. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere. Very disappointing
