Coretta

Top choice in Montmartre & Northern Paris

LoginSave

This dazzling contemporary bistro with two floors, huge windows and a sharp Scandinavian-design interior has been an icon for Batignolles' renaissance from urban underdog to hipster 'hood ever since it opened. Modern French bistro fare, exquisitely presented on bright white plates, is packed with seasonal products. Chefs work hard to be ecologically responsible (zero waste, local produce etc).

'Coretta', if you're wondering, pays homage to Coretta Scott King, the author, activist and civil rights leader who was also married to Martin Luther King Jr (after whom the adjoining city park is named).
