Brasserie Barbès

Montmartre & Northern Paris


With vintage ceiling fans, potted plants, a wonderful glass rotunda and spectacular rooftop terrace, this bright brasserie-style cafe provides a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the raucous Marché Barbès that brings chaos to the 'hood Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Indulge in an egg-and-bacon breakfast, pastrami and sautéed-apple sandwich lunch, or a green detox juice.

Weekend brunches are wildly popular.
