Au Pied de Sacre Coeur is one of our favorite restaurants in Paris. It serves delicious French cuisine and adds original ideas to traditional platters.

Soupe a l'oignon gratinee

Located in Montmartre, it has a lovely ambiance of a small romantic restaurant, with warm lighting and mirrors on one wall - giving it the ideal "French" look. The menu reflects traditional French countryside cuisine with duck, rabbit, and beef. A favorite is their 'foie gras' which they do 'poele' (sauteed) and which you can also take as a main dish instead of an entree (just ask!). I love their 'soupe a l'oignon gratinee,' a classic and their 'magret de canard' - sweetened with orange. My partner loves the rabbit and their blackboard suggestions are always a good choice.

Foie gras

The service is friendly, just one waitress, and they don't snap at you if you ask for specific things. I asked for a side salad with my soup one time and there was no problem at all, she didn't even charge us for it! They also seem to have as large a English-speaking clientele as French so no worries if you haven't mastered the language.

Creme brulee

I suggest to make a reservation just in case as the restaurant is quite small and can fill up fast on the weekends. They are open everyday, except Monday afternoons. Prices are a bit more expensive then your normal weekday dinner, so you might want to save it for special occasions. Main dishes range from 15-20e (the foie gras at 13e) and desserts between 6-12e.

Tarte au pomme et poire

I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for good French cuisine in Paris! It is quite a gem if you are looking to get away from the touristy places.
