Café la Fourmi

Montmartre

One of Montmartre's trendiest addresses, Café la Fourmi has a funky, spacious bar-café where cool locals party. It's open until 2 am every night but Friday and Saturday, when it's open until 4 am.

Le Rendez-Vous des Amis

This makes an intriguing midway breather if you climb the hill of Montmartre by foot. Le Rendez-Vous des Amis has a jovial staff, eclectic music, and a century's worth of previous patrons immortalized in painted murals.

Le Sancerre

Montmartre

Café/restaurant by day, Le Sancerre turns into an essential watering hole for Montmartrois and artists at night (until 2 am every day), with Belgian beers on tap and an impressive list of cocktails. Locals love its traditional old-school vibe.
