“Our guide Julie couldn’t have been a better person to show us around Montmarte. She was a true resident who’d been living in the area for a number of years. She was really kind, funny, super knowledgeable about the food and best cultural facts about the area. The desserts were the best part, but I felt like there was still a little to be desired in terms of stops, I would’ve loved to enjoyed a crepe or partake in more of the shops before the climb. That said, to finish in a solid brasserie right next to such an iconic view and landmark, made the hike worth it. Julie did…”

The kids menu is $50 euros, my baby only ate the bread so I don’t recommend it if you have picky eaters. Drinks aren’t included. There was a wonderful singer who walked around and serenaded each table, she sang in several languages. Beautiful views but there is no upper stairs lounge”
