A la Pomponette :

- authentic
- great wines - but careful for the bill
- really friendly people
- good if you like good meat

Excerpt from Jack-travel.com :


"La Pomponette rue Lepic no.42 and higher up in the rue Lepic at no.61 the Virage Lepic. Closed Sun. evening and Mon, and Aug.
An old-fashioned Montmartre bistro straight out of a Toulouse-Lautrec sketch. Here you can meet the original, genuine, exuberant atmosphere of Montmartre. Inexpensive, simple and good with a great choice of regional wines.  Food is good, atmosphere fun and the memorabilia on the walls a hoot.  Inexpensive."

New :

Chez Juliette

Just down the street on your left arriving at the Place Condorcet.

Good for lunch - mostly Parisians - cheap and good

- great steak tartare - a real winner - some of our guests go every other day!

- also good quiches ( if you are into that - I am not really )

- we found out that the rest is very depending on the mood of the chef - we ate bed recently

- but we still like the ambiance very much

Minipalais
Avenue Winston Churchill (8th)

L'Angle du Faubourg

- Wines can be drunk by the glass at prices starting at 4-5 Euro

Poussettecafé

- In Paris with very young kids : the first baby's Bar
- authentic café where parents can also bring their babies.
- No doubt that this first baby-bar in Paris should have a bright future in a France that has recently recorded a rising birth rate

Hélene Darroze :

LE SALON


- We tried the cheaper LE SALON under the restaurant ( first week of January )
- very cosy - lounge - style
- much cheaper - smaller portions - equal quality
- Prix - fixe 3 course menu for lunch only at 41 Euro with two (small) glasses of wine included
- they try to sell you an apéritif which is heavenly but costs 28 Euro ( Dom Pérignon ) - so skip that or ask for the wine list instead except if you are in a Pérignon mood of course
- all together a very price-worthy choice if you avoid the traps
