Café des Deux Moulins

Montmartre & Northern Paris

LoginSave

Midway along food-shop-lined rue Lepic, neon-lit Café des Deux Moulins is the much-loved cafe where Amélie worked in the eponymous film. Head beyond the tourist crowds posing for photographs outside into the cinematic interior to join locals for drinks, lunch, dinner or weekend brunch. Happy hour is from 6pm to 9pm.

Hardcore Amélie fans can order the goûter d'Amélie (€19.90) – coffee or hot chocolate, fresh raspberries, a silky crème brulée and an instant Polaroid mugshot of yourself in glorious Parisian situ.
