But finding something decent to eat in this much-visited neighborhood can be a bit challenging. Tourist traps are numerous, overcharging unsuspecting visitors for food that is mediocre at best. Read on for the 10 best restaurants in Montmartre, with good choices for every type of traveler. 01 of 10 Le Coq Rico: For Excellent Chicken & Traditional Bistro Fare Courtesy of Le Coq Rico View Map Address 98 Rue Lepic, 75018 Paris, France Get directions Phone +33 1 42 59 82 89 Web Visit website This charming restaurant on Montmartre's Rue Lepic is beloved for its delicious chicken.

The wine selection is also superb. 02 of 10 Le Moulin de la Galette: For Classic Montmartre Charm View Map Address 83 Rue Lepic, 75018 Paris, France Get directions Phone +33 1 46 06 84 77 Web Visit website For lunch or dinner in a classic Montmartrois setting, Le Moulin de la Galette is a good option. The restaurant, situated inside a genuine windmill dating to the 19th century, serves classic French dishes made with seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Current menu items include fish tartare with green apple, charcoal-grilled beef, and cheese-and-spinach-stuffed ravioli topped with champagne sauce. Fixed-price menus are available and are generally reasonable. The verdant garden seating area can be idyllic during spring and summer. 03 of 10 L'Arcane: For Discerning Gourmets View Map Address 52 Rue Lamarck, 75018 Paris, France Get directions Phone +33 1 46 06 86 00 Web Visit website Nestled in a quieter area of Montmartre, this restaurant boasts one Michelin star and is widely considered one of the finest tables in the area. Chef Laurent Magnin serves a panoply of creative, elegantly-presented dishes that draw on classic French traditions and culinary influences from around the world. The fresh fish is especially noteworthy here. If your budget is limited, consider going for lunch, when a fixed-price menu offering a starter, main dish, and dessert is more accessible.

It can be especially hard to steer clear of tourist traps in the heavy-footfall zones, so this address is good to keep on hand. Sandwiches made with fresh bread and ingredients sourced entirely from France are the deli's staple, but you can also choose among salads, quiches and other delights. You can take your food to go—but if you prefer to eat in, the simple wooden tables are perfect for enjoying lunch alongside a glass of beer or wine.

There's also a delicious weekend brunch served here. 08 of 10 Le Discret: Charming Neighborhood Wine Bar & Table View Map Address 3 Rue Eugène Carrière, 75018 Paris, France Get directions Phone +33 1 83 91 22 24 Web Visit website This charming neighborhood wine bar is a favorite with Montmartre's residents, offering a large selection of French and international wines as well as a full food menu.
