What an extraordinary experience. Our server was fantastic. She helped us choose a wonderful rose and quickly switched to English to help us determine our lunch as well. We had Caesar salads for some and beef bourguignon. Both were fantastic. When we return, this is THE ONE restaurant I insist we return. Highly recommend. read more

I really have difficulties reviewing this restaurant. On one hand I loved it, on one hand I hated it. It's a small restaurant located in montmartre and it's a place where you get typical French homemade food. I've ordered the beef bourguignon and it was really tasty and full of flavour. Served with mashed potatoes and wine. My boyfriend had lamb which was tasty but a bit dry. That's the positive..... Here comes the not to fantastic part of the review: Service! Our waiter was SO busy and he seamed really confused. He was kind but kept running around himself. He initially came with the wrong dishes for my boyfriend and was quick to apologise and take it away again. But.... I've already took something from my plate and I've ate some of the mashed potatoes - and then they gave the plate to another customer! Plates that's been at a customers table shouldn't be served to another customer. In spite of having tasty authentic French food I can only give an under average review. read more

Food nice but overpriced, this guy has a scam going though. You ask for the wine list and he says he IS the wine list, then proceeds to charge €8 per tiny glass for wine you could pay €5 for for an entire bottle. Hope this place gets its karma. read more

Before seeing Moulin Rouge in May 2015, my gf and I yelped restaurants near there. Le Cave Gourmande was the best rated one. You walk in at it's homey. There is a slate with a written menu. You sit down at the small, intimate tables and the waiter is friendly. We order duck and a large steak. The waiter says 11oz is a lot. I said I'm America, I can handle it. It comes out and I think the conversion was wrong because it's about a 22oz steak. It was huge and amazing. Of course the fries have gravy and it's amazing. read more

This restaurant was one of my favorites in Paris. I ordered the Beef Bourguignon and it didn't disappoint. It's a short distance from the Sacré-Cœur. The ambiance was lovely -- small, cozy, and intimate, and the owners were very kind and attentive. They stops serving at 11 pm, so it's a perfect place for a late-night stop. Hope to return some day. read more

The menu is written on a board, and changes daily. Simple yet excellent French cooking -, the food was excellent. Vegetarians beware! You have to like your beef and duck to eat here. Service was excellent as well. The area is quiet and quaint despite its proximity to Moulin Rouge, so it's a great place to have a very good and reasonable meal before the show. read more

Delicious all around. We shared the scallops (St. Jacques) and the beef Bourgiginon. Both were quite good ... My personal favorite of the two was the beef, which was excellent. The meat was perfectly cooked, extremely tender and very flavorful. For desert we shared the apple tart, which was outrageous. Service was attentive, although the waiter forgot to bring white wine during our first course. We had the red with the beef but would happily have had some white with the scallops. Total with a little tip beyond what's included was €63. Very reasonable for two. read more

Our favorite meal in Paris but almost turned away because we did not have a reservation. Highly recommend you make one if you plan to eat there. read more

O. M. G. Go! Get the beef bourguignon! And wine. Get wine! We stopped in on a rainy day, trekking up to Sacre Coeur. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the owner couldn't have been more gracious. Chatty for a bit, but left us to enjoy or time and meal together. Even a bit of humor brining us our plates with mashed potatoes, a flourish and "Bon appetit!" And then brought the crocks of beef a moment later. A wonderful hole in the wall that I can't wait to revisit someday. read more

La Cave Gourmande - The beef bourguignon comes in its own piping hot mini-Dutch oven, with a heaping pile of the best mashed potatoes around. - Bistros Near Me - Paris, 75

Our first meal in Paris. We were a little tired from the flight, but glad that we were able to make lunch at La Cave. First, very cute and small restaurant in the Montmarte area just near the funiculare. Lovely little outdoor area to sit on a warm spring day. Our waitress was wonderful and luckily spoke very good English to get us through our meal. The menu on chalk board looks like it changes daily and is in English. She was very helpful to guide us through the simple wine selections, but affordable and the Chardonnay we had was very nice. I would say that there spirit selection is limited, and so we stuck with the wine. We started with the veal bone marrow and foie gras pate. Both were prepared well, but nothing wow. The mains is where we had a little bit of a let down. The special was pork tenderloin with a mustard sauce which was quite overwhelming on the mustard leaving the meat drowning. The duck was prepared to a nice medium well as requested, but the duck was tough and underseasoned. The food was not horrible, but just average in my opinion. Food: 28/40 Service/staff: 19/20 Ambiance/decor: 17/20 Value: 17/20 Total: 81/100 read more

The food here is outstanding-- very authentic and delicious. The beef bourguignon is probably the best beef dish I have ever had! The meat is so tender and the sauce it comes with is amazing. The duck dish is also really good, but what really stood out to me were the roasted potatoes. Both dishes were rich in flavor and had good portion sizes. Service was great too, as we were the first ones to arrive for dinner and our waiter was very attentive. For both the price and taste of everything, this place is divine! read more

Place was absolutely amazing. We came here because of the reviews and were no disappointed. The server was great and gave us an overview of the menu and had great suggestions as well. We shared the escargot which was delicious. I had the rack of lamb which was some of the best I have had. Totally recommend. read more

Truly a highlight of our recent trip to Paris. Went one day for lunch, both had the bœuf bourguignon, and were instantly hooked. The quality of the food was great, and the servers were attentive and showed a genuine pride about the quality of the meals they were preparing. Returned two days later for a full three-course dinner, enjoying some foie gras, lamb, more bœuf bourguignon, apple pie, profiterole, and sorbet - all of it excellently prepared and beautifully presented. The tables are located along the beautiful Rue du Martyrs - the atmosphere was so wonderful we stayed for more than two hours eating, drinking, and enjoying the ambiance. Both of our servers spoke English, which was helpful as well. Located at the base of the hill of Sacre Coeur and about one city block away from the Moulin Rouge. (Literally created a Yelp! account to write this review - it was that good). read more

Get the beef stew with mashed potatoes or the duck. Very good. Also a short walk to the Montmartre church.

Charming little spot in Montmartre. I ordered the beef bourguignon and it was delicious. My partner ordered a fantastic duck dish, and I'm not normally a fan of duck. Overall a great ambience and while the server only spoke limited English, he provided great service and paired our meal with a very nice wine. Not cheap but not a bad value. 4.5 stars but rounded up because of the charm and friendly service. read more

The food here is ok, but what really annoys me about this place is how dishonest they come across. First off, they put up a sign for free wifi on the door which lured us in since we needed to check some things online. After we were seated, we tried to log in to the wifi using the password they provided on a blackboard on the side, but it didn't work. So we asked the waiter for the password, only for him to tell us there was actually no wifi available. He claims it's so we can have an actual conversation at the table, but then why put up the free wifi sign in the first place?? Then for the meal, we just asked for water since none of us drink alcohol, and he served us a 7 Euro bottle of Evian water without clarifying if that was what we wanted. Every other table around us that did order alcohol got served regular water. I just feel like he was trying to lure tourists into the restaurant with the fake free wifi sign and then plying us with expensive drinks that we didn't want. As for the food, we ordered the turbot, boeuf bourguignon and duck breast. The turbot was overcooked and dry. The duck breast was ok, but I ordered it medium and it came out medium well. The beef was disappointing given all the hype from the reviews here. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Loved this place. Snails are great, and the duck with rosemary potatoes was absolutely delicious! Neat little place, we will come back next time! read more

Went to this restaurant to try the beef bourguignon that i saw was pretty good by the reviews and it did not disappoint! It was super tender and the mashed potatoes were delicious. The bread was also pretty amazing compared to other french restaurants in paris. read more

What a great place! We arrived very early on a sunday evening bc we had a boat tour to get to so it was still empty. I am drawing a blank on our waitresses name, but I was shocked when she informed us that she had just started. It felt like she was there for years. The escargot was amazing as was the duck. Such a great atmosphere with great table wine. Well worth the trip! read more

By far my favorite restaurant in Paris! I had the beef bourguignon, extremely delicious and tender. Daughter had the duck, also very good. The waiter was very pleasant and honest. My brand new Euro bills got stuck together, so I accidentally gave him 20 extra euros without realizing it. He gave it back to me! Best food experience in Paris! 这家的法式炖牛肉最好，千万别错过啊！落城北京人 read more

Beef bourguignon, Duck and Rib steak were all very well prepared and delicious. Service was a little slow but our apologetic waiter, who was working the job of three people, gave us a free large bottled water for the delayed food. Will love to come again for the excellent food and service. read more

A very nice find, thanks to Yelp. The escargots were nice and 14 instead of 12 was a nice touch. Their house Bordeaux was tasty and the Filet de Saint Pierre (a fish filet!) very delicious with a butter balsamico sauce. Service, with just one waitress and a full house, was slow but reasonable (and friendly). I would come back, but not before trying out some of the other Montmartre 4+ stars hangouts. read more

This place is great. It's small, but they serve the space nicely. Food is delicious. You won't be disappointed.

Probably the best meal I had in France this trip. Our guide from a Montmarte tour recommended La Cave Gourmande as the best beouf bourguignon in Paris, and so naturally we tried this along with escargots and other quintessential French dishes. The proprietor was down on staff and was waiting on all the tables himself, but doing a heroic job, and the food was, well, extraordinary - so much so that I didn't even mind the slow service. Sit at a table outside and peer down the hill at central Paris while you savor the gifts that emanate from the kitchen. A wonderful experience for all the senses. read more

Delicious food and nice atmosphere! I recommend boeuf bourguignon and the duck! The service is great and the host is super attentive.

I decided to spend my birthday and first day in Paris at this restaurant. The food was just amazing starting with the escargots, the rack of lamb and then the profiteroles. The wine was out of this world. The restaurant is very small and you have to give up your personal space as you have people sitting very close to you. This is normal in any french restaurant. The service was great and the owner very attentive. I would definitely be back the next time I am in Paris. read more

One of the best meals I have ever had in my life and the highlight of my trip to Paris. I went in early (as Americans do eat quite early) and was able to talk and get recommendations from the very patient and helpful owner. The food was amazing. I had escargot and then a traditional French dish of beef marinated in wine for 24 hours, mashed potato, and a gravy with small onions. It looks like something that may be salty but not- just full of great flavor. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful service and selection, thanks for tolerating our language barrier and making us feel at home

An amazing small local spot in Paris to eat. We had the beef bourguigon and it was out of this world. We also has wine. The resturant is small and you can sit outside. read more

This was our first meal in Paris, and still our best. The bone marrow is a transformative experience. I felt like a criminal for leaving some of the oily, salty spread uneaten, but I'm glad I did, because the beef bourguignon I ordered for the main was AWESOME. It's a cute location not far from the Boulevard du Clichy, and if you're anywhere in the vicinity of Montmartre, you owe it to yourself to visit this place. read more

Loved the small restaurant! The waitress was very sweet. My nephew and I both had the beef bourguignon and we loved it. It also came with a delicious bread. Definitely a place I would come back next time around. read more

Excellent! My grandma and I enjoyed a late lunch here and we left content with not only the food but the service. Non-French speaking here and the waitress was able to communicate with me and help decide what to order. She even let my gramma taste a bit of wine when we asked what she would suggest since we have no idea about wines, she was awesome!! Would diffidently come back here again if we had more time in Paris. Mercy! read more

The worst service yet! The food was terrible. Asked if he had soup and he said yes, said he said he had vegetable soup. Brought out soup that looked and tasted like bad baby food! Pureed. Ordered a steak and it tasted like it was boiled with no seasonings either. Would not recommend it! Worst 60 euros spent yet. read more

A delightfully cozy little place with amazing beef bourgignon. We wandered in after visiting Sacre Couer and had a delightful dinner with our three kids (ages 11, 11 and 13). The service was very nice and even our kids commented on how cozy it was. I highly recommend! read more

I wanted to like this place...I really did, the food just wasn't up to my expectations. Three stars for the amazing waiter !

This is a lovely place to enjoy a delicious meal with your partner, friend or family. The outdoor seating is on a quiet street in the heart of the Montmartre neighbourhood. The food we had was fabulous & the presentation was amazing (see photo). I highly recommend! read more

Probably the worst meal we've had since we've been in Paris for a week. We find this place through Yelp. We did a lot of research and the food was disappointing and the service was even worse. In a city that even fast food is good this place really did a number. I would avoid this place. The waitress was very nice but we didn't go to the restaurant for niceness. We ordered frog and duck liver. And the main courses were rack of lamb and salmon. The best part of the meal was the mash potato. The waitress kept apologizing for bad service and also when we had to send the food back she said it is not the chef's fault this week our meat wasn't that good. Even though she was the one that suggested all of those items. I rarely give a place of one star but this one really deserves it. They also made a mistake on our check which I caught it but I think that was a honest mistake. She rectified immediately. read more

Visiting Paris it's really great, but you can't miss eating at this place, all the menu it's really delicious, the dessert a delicious apple pie with cream and ice cream was amazing, the duck breast and the beef borguignon are the ones that I recommend, and if you want a starter the Scargots should be your choice. The waitress is very polite, fun and makes you feel like home. read more
