We enjoyed a nice meal and tried a few different wines by the glass. We were surrounded by French and English speaking patrons -- so I don't agree that it is geared toward tourists. The waitress was helpful but not intrusive. Well worth the trip to this part of Paris!

Nice little restaurant. Prices not bad. Typical French menu, although busy with tourists. make a reservation as it's a small place. Good service, menu explained well in English.

Great food and atmosphere, everything was exactly how you would imagine a typical dinner in Montmartre :) I recommend the foie gras and the steak with baby potatoes and a delicious tomato sauce

A great little restaurant, just round corner from our hotel. Food and wine delicious and well-presented. Steak particularly good - the Chinese beef a little less successful. Helpful, friendly service. They had difficulty processing our credit cards (no problem anywhere else) - fortunately we had enough cash. Best to book - we used La Fourchette (before we left home).
