The menu is in French, so be prepared to know a few words. The waitress was wonderful, she was very helpful in explaining things on the menu to guests and never seemed annoyed that they didn’t speak French. The warm chèvre salad was delicious, the onion soup was cheesy and tasty and the chocolate mousse tasted homemade. The raclette looked amazing, though I didn’t order it, I only watched a couple devour it. Very reasonably priced.

Love this restaurant! We’ve been here a couple times for the fondue and raclette and both are amazing, though I think we may prefer the raclette with the potatoes. The service is also very friendly. This is now on our official list of places to always return to in Paris.

We arrived 18 minutes prior to closing but we were welcomed by one of the friendliest hosts yet. She helped us order the best items on the menu. And the best wine! We are staying a few doors down and found our new favorite locals hangout. Very reasonably priced, off the beaten path, cute cozy ambience. It is community seating so you get to meet others which we always love! Highly recommended!

I thought it was too good to be true, non-touristy, delicious food, near Sacre Coeur. And I was right. Our table of four ordered the fondue. We were given 8 fondue forks, 6 of which covered in food. It’s foolish to serve flaming food in such a small restaurant but we survived. The fondue was greasy but edible and came with a few slices of salami and small basket of bread. More bread was offered but it took 10 minutes to flag down a server. During this wait the fondue got way too hot but there was no way to turn down/off the heat. When we mentioned this to the waiter, this was somehow our fault. The third tiny basket of bread was hard as a rock, which the waiter told us was exactly as they intended. This was our most expensive meal of vacation and by far the worst. Neighboring tables did not appear to have significantly better food.

We found this place through Unilocal recommendation. It had 4 out of 5 stars. We were greated very nicely and it seems that the son of the owner was the one serving us. He was very pleasent. We selected the three course menu. The taste of food was plane and its apperiance not inviting. The selection of ingredients was inadequate and poor. Couldn’t taste wine in beef bourguignon and it was watery as well as it was the onion soup. For tagliatelle the cheese was not parmigiano but some cheep selection. Also there was no serving ethiquette. The waiter was flipping pancakes with hands that he used later to write our order down. Also brought us water bottle by holding it for the pouring area. The plates were greasy. Although the food was edible I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you are really hungry and maybe select something different from the menu.

This is a great restaurant! You should definitely have dinner here! This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend who lives in Paris. We had a party of 7 the night we dined here. We tried to make reservations but when we called we were told they do not take reservations. Half of our party arrived but were made to wait for the rest of the party before we could be seated. Unfortunately the other half were late. There is a small dining room so we were a bit worried that they wouldn’t have room for us. However, once we all arrived we were seated promptly and received service immediately. Our server was great! Then the food came. It was amazing! Everyone was very happy with their meal.

We came here for dinner after spending time walking around Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. There was quite a wait and the male server who acknowledged seemed somewhat rude when he told us to wait outside the door. About 20 minutes went by and they finally seated us at a very crowded table wedged between the service area and the kitchen. No doubt it was the worst table in the restaurant but we didn’t want to wait any longer for another option. I think the lady who served us was actually the owner and she was much nicer than the gentleman who greeted us. Our food was quite good, portions were generous. We would definitely have enjoyed the experience more had we had better seating. This is a small and cramped restaurant; they have long bench style seating so expect to share a table with others if your party is small.

We were walking back to the Metro and found this place. A great whole in the wall. Perfect to sit out and people watch. We ordered light but there was still a lot left. We would definitely go back there again.

This place is great — my fiancé and I arrived exhausted and jet lagged and not speaking much french at all, but the hostess/waitress was very friendly, patient and accommodating. We ended up at a long table seated next to a very nice Italian family and ate delicious cheese fondue and fresh strawberry tarts for dessert. I will definitely return the next time I’m in Paris!

We are in Montmartre for vacation and came upon this place. It’s great. The fondue is incredible. The atmosphere is great. When we went in, we were the first ones to show up. We left a raucous room full of people singing and laughing… on a Monday. It has a great atmosphere and we had a wonderful server who was incredibly tolerant of our offensively terrible french. This place was great. I suspect we will go again before we leave France.

Came to Montmartre and tried to get a table at Le Refuge des Fondues. It was packed there, so we walked past La Taverne and decided to go in. We sat outside and got borderline smashed while we ate fondue. I wasn’t intending to drink as much as I did, but when the Ricard came out it was time to be a drunk American tourist on vacation. Just kidding, it was an amazing relaxing time enjoying some quality food. We met Lairan the owner and Seb, one of the server. They were both very nice people. Lairan is a runner, make sure you ask him about doing the Paris Marathon or Ironman France someday!

I am not really into the tourist trap restaurants, so we stumbled into this quiet restaurant which clearly advertised the fondue. Let me tell you, the cheese fondue was heaven and they did not skimp on the amount of meats and breads offered for dipping. When we go to Paris again this year we will definitely return. The service was very good and the atmosphere was very old-world tavern. I loved the brick interior and rustic feel. My only complaint is that I overate!

bof bof bof Une bonne ambiance mais on n’y mange pas bien. L’entrée du menu, toast de chèvre, difficile à manger(pain de mie avec du fromage qui piqué). La fondue très décevante: une boule de fromage qui n’était pas fondue, avec un goût très prononcé de kirsch. La charcuterie n’était pas de bonne qualité. Bön, le fromage à raclette était bon, le vin pas cher et la tarte tatin pas mal. Bref, pas terrible.

Parisiens passez votre chemin ! On voulait se faire une petite raclette en ces temps d’hiver. Nous sommes donc aller à la taverne. La déco est chaleureuse et sans prétention, le personnel sympathique bien qu’un peu rude au service(bouteille ouverte en cuisine, si vous en commandez pas café et dessert on vous fera la gueule). Le cadre se prête plus à un diner entre potes qu’en amoureux soyez averti. Ici on né s’embarrasse pas de confort, les bancs en bois vous laisserons peu de place pour peu que vous ayez des voisins à vos cotés. Tout ceci aurait son charme et trouverait son public si le rapport qualité/prix des assiettes n’était pas si juste. Pour 18 € par pers vous aurez le droit à une raclette avec de la charcuterie de supermarché, plus d’oignons que de cornichons(vous savez, ceux qui se trouvent au fond du bocal de cornichon). Un vin de qualité moyenne vous en coutera bien cher. Bref, un resto pour touristes.

Très bonne surprise ! J’ai découvert cet endroit un jour de grève: difficile de circuler(1h30 pour faire un trajet minuscule), de se garer, refoulés d’un restaurant très connu du quartier dans lequel nous avions pourtant réservé, un autre restaurant pas très conciliant, et nous tombons sur ce petit restaurant en grimpant la butte de Montmartre. La salle est toute petite, mais une ambiance très chaleureuse s’en dégage. Des tables en bois, des bancs pour s’asseoir, une décoration assez sommaire, mais très conviviale. La patronne nous accueille très gentiment, guide au téléphone nos amis qui sont en retard(eux aussi à cause des grèves), prend nos commandes et la leur alors que les cuisines vont fermer. Les plats(raclette, pierrade) sont copieux, bien servis et pas très chers… Je recommande vivement ce restaurant pour une soirée entre amis! Ce fut une agréable surprise!
