Hardware Société

Montmartre & Northern Paris


A handy refreshment stop pre- or post-visit to Sacré-Cœur, this Parisian outpost of Melbourne's Hardware Société cooks up barista-crafted coffee (using beans from Melbourne's Padre roastery) and bountiful breakfasts and lunches in a cramped interior with jazzy, Christian Lacroix butterfly wallpaper. Brunch aficionados swear by both the sweet pan-fried brioche and the pork belly with fried eggs sunny-side-up.
