The Best Restaurant in Montmartre, Paris

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Perched above central Paris, Montmartre is buzzing with a hip vibe. Idyllic as the portrayal of Montmartre might seem in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film Amélie, it's surprisingly close to reality. Though decidedly out of the way, Montmartre is still one of the most desirable areas in Paris, seamlessly blending the trendy and the traditional. The less picturesque neighborhood around Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est is making its mark on the culinary scene: besides classic brasseries, tucked-away bistros, and the city's most authentic Indian restaurants, you'll find a new generation of cafés and gastrobistros exploding onto the scene.

Citrons et Huitres

$ | Pigalle

With a name that translates to "lemons and oysters," this compact oyster bar—a notable addition to Pigalle's thriving food scene—is the perfect stop for a casual apéro of succulent oysters (imported daily from coastal France) and a glass of crisp vin blanc. But don't resist the urge to stay for dinner: the wildly creative chef (also a chef at the beautiful Hotel Rochechouart next door) presents beautiful small seafood dishes (think cured sardines, crab rolls on brioche, and house-smoked salmon) flecked with fresh flowers and herbs.
