Au Bon Acceuil
One of the best French meals I’ve had in France. Three course menus using seasonal ingredients. Inventive starters, plats, and desserts. VERY curmudgeony waiters, but the food makes up for it. Great for special occasion.

Perfect when you don’t feel like cooking dinner and are hungry for meat and potatoes. The take-away ribs are delicious and the free-range chicken is nice. (Right next door, is a good carryout place to pick up your veggies.)

My favorite crêperie in Montemartre. Make sure to order the menu with une galette salée et une crêpe sucrée. And please don’t forget the le cidre (cider)!

365+ Things I Love About France 
I agree with you about Au Bon Acceuil! Very good. Have you tried Cafe Constant in the same area? It has become a bit too touristic in the recent years but remains highly recommended.
Yes. I really like Cafe Constant. The chef’s wife is in my book group and lovely as can be. I had the best Saint-Jacques I’ve had in Paris there. They also started serving my good friend Marie-Françoise confiture de fraise, which is makes it worth stopping in for a café and croissant in the morning. Thanks for reminding me to add them to my list.
ps. I like you blog a lot. Well done!
Good morning!
I used to go to Cafe Constant every week when Eduardo from Brazil was the chef –did you go there when he was there or after he left? To be honest, I don’t even know who the current chef is!
By any chance, do you live in the neighborhood? I used to, at number 135 🙂
PS Another excellent restaurant in the same area (Rue Malar) is http://www.lamijean.fr. Highly recommended, fun and probably the best meal I have had in Paris. Choose Carte Blanche for 80€ and let the chef create whatever he feels like 🙂
I was talking about the chef-chef, CC. Quite charming and his wife even more so. 🙂
You are the third person who has told me about l’ami Jean. I better make a reservation. Too late for Valentine’s Day no doubt. I’ll have to come up with another excuse. Thanks for the nudge.
Ah ok 🙂 The chef-chef 🙂
