  Just a hop, skip and a jump from Sacre Coeur you will find this restaurant, built into the hill of Montmartre and also featuring a patio in the square in front.
  
  We stopped in here before visiting the cathedral and went inside, as it was the first warm day in Paris and the patio was bustling. We were the only table inside at the beginning, until other people decided not to wait and come in too.
  
  First thing I saw on the outdoor  menu before going in was steak tartare, which is the one dish I must eat every time I come to France. So it sealed the deal and in we went.
  
  One of my friends ordered an appetizer, which was a sort of fish salad, extremely delicious. He also ordered a pasta dish, which we thought odd, and my other friend ordered a cheeseburger with gapron cheese on it - look it up. He said it was delicious. My tartare was equally so, and they both came with some oven baked baby potatoes with baked garlic, so good.
  
  The ambience inside was nice too, just watch your head down the narrow and low ceilinged stairs. Be tough to work there on the multi levels.
  
  Prices were pretty reasonable for such a perfect location, frequented by many tourists, but also locals. My friends, who live in Paris, said they'd be back if in the area and would recommend it to others.

  You can't beat the views from here.  We just sat outside after our self walking tour.  Unfortunately we couldn't get anything other than a couple baguettes due to the time we arrived. Since we really needed a bite of food,  we ordered a couple tartines and 2 hot beverages.. perfectly fine.. baquettes o' french bread..

  The view seductive, but the terrace is trolled by thieves and purse snatchers. Staff could care less.

  Get the Paris experience!
  
  This place what was I was looking for when I pictured eating in Paris. Loads of outdoor seating in a small plaza. Full of life. Good wine. Food was excellent. We had the ravioli in chive cream sauce and the anchiove and vegetable tarte, both fantastic. Service was good considering how busy the patio was. Waiter was very nice young man who honestly explained tipping customs in Paris. Prices not great but not bad. Recommended.

  Extremely slow service and undercooked food. I came here for New Year's Eve and maybe that was my first mistake. It was a packed house and the three servers seemed so unprepared and just slow with service. It took us about an hour to even get any bread which I had to ask for but the champagne and wine were flowing like that's all we needed to sustain ourselves that evening. (It definitely was not) after another half hour of waiting for food we finally got our first bite which was a pate crostini and salmon pancake. They were actually tasty but by that point our experience was ruined because we had to wait so long for food.
  
  Our next course was a scallop with cauliflower mash which was okay but again served about 2 hours after we had arrived. Our main course of duck and potatoes was the big letdown food wise because the duck barely had any seasoning and the potatoes were basically raw. The only redeeming aspect of the dish was the gravy which I could not get enough of maybe because I had 3 glasses of champagne or maybe because it was actually good. Either way I would not return to this restaurant and recommend you stay away especially if you are going on a holiday or special event evening.
