What a lovely find. The service was stupendous. I had asked for a glass of Bordeaux but our server suggested a Cotes Du Rhone instead. Merci for the recommendation. It was excellent. We had the duck foie gras and beef bourguignon. I highly recommend both. We plan to return and have the lamb. I posted a photo of my wife with the Cappuccino as it was as lovely as she is. read more

Good food, good wine. Small spot with limited seating. Made reservations online and had a great seat outside. The owner was very helpful in explaining the menu. We had the fish special which was tuna crusted in sesame with mashed potatoes & vegies and the lamb chop with roasted potatoes & vegies. A bottle of house win was reasonably priced and complemented the meal. Would recommend and will return on next trip to the area. read more

I can't judge the food here, but the attitude is terrible. I was walking the mountain on Music Day 2017, when I stumbled upon this place. Since I had a handful of items, including the ever-popular-on-Music-Day "Roadie,," I stopped to check them out here on Yelp. When I attempted to place the items on one of the outside tables - so that I could access my Smart Phone - the old lady at the adjacent table (presumably the owner) jumped up and swatted me away. She was quite aggressive about it. Evidently, she didn't want the party goers using their tables. Well. This place was literally EMPTY... and after the treatment I received, I was certainly NOT going to be one to spoil their perfect record. I didn't even bother to check the reviews. By this point, I knew way more than I needed to: They didn't want me as a customer, and I certainly wasn't going to force myself upon them. Instead, I found perhaps the greatest place on Montmarte - Chex Plumeaux. See my review. Highly recommended. read more

Short walk and nice walk, down the hill from Sacre Couer. Small charming place. It's a one man show with cooks in the back. The gentlemen whom I assume is the owner is very efficient and informative. He will take your order, serve you and everyone else. We had the snails, frog legs, goat cheese tartin and beef bourguignon. All excellent and of great quality. Highly recommend!!! read more

This was my first time going to La Cave Gourmande & yelp did not let me down! We called in a little early to make a reservation for 11 people & they definitely weren't against it. There was only one other group inside the restaurant but mostly groups eating outside. Since there were so many people eating here it did take some time to order our food but once we ordered the food came really quick! To start we ordered the escargot. It was sensational, very garlicky. We paid 14 euros for 12 escargots. What a steal! We drank a rosé called La Santonnière. It was really good: light but flavorful at the same time. As a main course most of the group got the Beef Bourguignon with mashed potatoes. Definitely 10/10. It was so tasty & the mashed potatoes were very creamy. I wasn't able to finish my meal because of how large it was but what I did eat was great. One of my friends, Allejo, ordered the lamb. He said it was "crispy on the outside, which was nice. Juicy, but not super tender, on the inside. The potatoes were incredible.", then Alex chimed in & said the meal was "Actually so good! Sweet yet savory taste to each bite of the potato.". My other friend, Jared, ordered the duck. He said "It was good. It was like savory yet sweet with light spices that fit well together. 10/10 would recommend eating here. Great location, great customer service, great food! read more

The absolute most amazing meal! Our first night in Paris we stumbled on this great place! The squash soup was the best ever. The veal steak will bring me back to Paris, unbelievable. The service and vibe is just wonderful. read more

La Cave Gourmande has the best ambience and food. The owner hangs out and serves during dinner. He put his own " joie de vivre " into this place and it shows. On our first visit we had the Duck in balsamic sauce and the steak in red wine sauce. After a terrible dinner at place down the street the following night, we decided to return and have some wine and a cheese plate. I recommend this place to anyone who visits. read more

The boeuf bourguignon is excellent, and the accompanying potatoes are fantastic. Also, the wine recommendation was very good! I would come back for another meal in a heartbeat. read more

Amazing French in this very French, very small restaurant. Enough English is spoken to help me order with some intelligence, and the food was astonishing. read more

I had Boeuf bourgonon, my girlfriend had at lamb rack. The food was amazing, the place was nice and the waiter treated us very good. The best meal we had in Paris so far I would say. read more

Tried this restaurant while on vacation. The service was not good. My steak ribs were burnt. We asked for wifi but were told there was none, then the table next to us was given the info to log in. Wanted to love this place but the service made it difficult. read more

Came here to eat dinner after a long day of touring the city. Specifically went here because of all the positive yelp reviews. Its a small place but somewhat accommodating. My wife and I ordered the steak and rib eye - requested the steaks be cooked medium well, came out almost bloody! Requested they cook the steaks medium well as requested but cooked them completely burnt! Food was horrible and the gentleman who served us seemed like he owned the place and didn't apologize for the bad food. Requested the check, attempted to pay with credit card, machine was malfunctioning so asked I pay with cash and he said the ATM was down the street. All other restaurants I visited in Paris were great but this one was the worst! Don't waste your time and money here! read more

The service was fantastic, the outdoor seating wasn't as charming as it could have been, but was nice. The food overall was very good, but I was not blown away. I had the bone marrow and the beef bourguignon. Again, both very good, but I'm sure there is some just as good elsewhere that may have a more charming ambience. read more

It was exactly as we expected after reading all of the reviews, thanks Yelp! PS after reading so many reviews on beef stew and duck, I was determined to make an alternative choice. But the server recommended the stew first and the duck 2nd, so that's how we ordered... and it was excellent :) read more

This was my favorite restaurant during my Paris visit. I highly recommend the Beef Bourguignon! It is superb. Also, the apple dessert with ice cream was amazing. You will not be disappointed. read more

Get the beef bourbonais, it was delicious. The rack or lamb and frog legs were also delicious.

A gem in Montmartre. Excellent food, lovely view and good service. Price is reasonable as well. We will be coming back next time we are in Paris. read more

Oh la la! The beef bourguignon and the duck were delicious! The beef was soft and tasty and the mashed potatoes was heavenly. The duck was done perfectly. We ordered the bone marrow to share ~ wished I ordered my own ~ I ended up mopping up all of the marrow from the bones with extra bread! Absolutely did not disappoint - this is one of our favourite dinners in Paris!! read more

Excellent beef cooked in a red wine sauce with carrots, mushrooms and pearl onions. Had a great glass of Bordeaux too. Owner is very friendly but the service is a bit on the slower side !! read more

5-star starters! main courses are good but dont expect too high. waiting time kind of long... read more

Couldn't be happier with this experience!!! Best food I've had in Paris thus far; we shared the rack of lamb, beef bourguignon, and aubergine salad. I loved all three. Best lamb I've ever had. I think the country potatoes it came with were best I've ever had too. Top it all off with generous portions, fair prices, and excellent service. UPDATE: Lunchtime chef seems to be reheating stuff and it looses a lot read more

Visiting Montmartre and this place was highly recommended. Steps away from the Abbesses Metro stop, I saw the place and its street "sandwich board" menu. Looked good and then a lovely tall young lady approached to tell us more about the menu. Very charming. We promised to return and we did later on in the evening. We had a tall glass of beer which was not the dark type that we usually enjoy but it had a nice bite to it. It was a german beer (can't recall the unusual name, no it's not Heineken). We ordered the lamb chops with sautéed potatoes and the rumsteak au poivre which came with hand cut fresh fries. The plates arrived beautifully garnished with haricots verts, fresh tiny carrots and broccoli all al dente. Nice. The lamb was beautifully crusted, cooked perfectly and the little potatoes were sautéed in garlic and herbs. It was a really great dish. The rumsteak was cooked "sangiant" as requested and the poivre sauce was lovely. I haven't eaten a piece of steak this large in a bit but I sacrificed myself and ate ALL OF IT. No room for dessert, no room for coffee, but a lovely meal it was. Our server, who was the young lady whom we met when we stopped earlier in the day, Zoyte, was absolutely charming and helpful with the orders. I hope her boss knows how good she is at what she does. Merci beaucoup Zoyte. A bien tot. read more

Delicious food, genuine service, great outdoor seating, nice friendly customers. I came on a Thursday night around 1930 without a resveration and the inside was packed, however all tables outside were empty which i preferred anyways. The restaurant has some relation to the bar across the street, which i think takes runoff customers. I couldnt figure it out, but if you come and the place is packed, try going across the street. I had escargot (for the first time!!) and the beef bourguigion which were both phenomenal (thanks fellow yelpers for the reccos!). I cant say enough how amazing the food was. The wine was great, staff of one pleasant, and prices were manageable. I would definitely come back to this place, but maybe make a reservation next time. read more

First meal when we got to Paris and it was definitely a good pick. Get the bone marrow and beef filet- just amazing! The filet is more of a stew, not a steak like we thought when ordering but the taste was great. If you get duck though, tell them to do it medium rare. That's the only reason why I took away one star- expected them to perfect the duck because well, it's Paris but it was a little overdone and dry. Otherwise, great meal! read more

Let me start off by saying the person in the front was working alone. The server was taking orders and serving the whole place so I understood service was gonna be a little tough. When we walked in the server looked me dead in the eye and asked how many people and I said 2. He then just walked away, got food from the kitchen, served it, made a coffee, then sat us down. 10 minutes later we got our menus. Another 12 minutes before our order was taken. At this point we decided to just order starters and then head out. I got the escargot and it was fine, nothing crazy. My girlfriend got the bone marrow and it was extremely bland and oily and about 20 minutes after we left, she got sick and we had to go home for the rest of the day. read more

We followed the advice of previous Yelpers and we were not disappointed! This restaurant has everything: amazing food, great Parisienne atmosphere, and lovely service. Definitely get the goat cheese appetizer. We were very charmed and will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding boeuf bourguignon! The mash potatoes had a good consistency... not too thick and not to creamy. The service was exceptional as well. I plan on going back on our last day on Paris. read more

Food was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and nice too. The only problem was the payment. The table next to me wanted to pay with credit card, but the waitress said the machine was not working today. So one of them had to go out to find an atm. When i finished and wanted to pay, i pay with CB, which is a french bank card. And she accepted. Guess the owner doesnt want to pay more tax. Ashamed. So prepare to bring cash if you pay with intl card read more

Came here by chance as we were staying at the ibis hotel looking for a place to eat when we first arrived in Paris. Little did we know that we'd come back here twice because the food was so great! We came and the owner greeted us very warmly, seating us on the outside seating where we ordered roasted bone marrow and fried goat cheese for apps. Can I just say DELICIOUS!!!! The bone marrow is roasted perfectly, melts in your mouth and with a side salad and toast is just a heavenly combination...watch out though because consuming spoonfuls may cause dizziness ;) (as experienced by my best friend). The goat cheese and all its salty goodness was just made better by frying it...hey I never said that this meal was healthy =D. Then we went on to have the beef bourguignon [phenomenal with the beef tender and juicy, seasoned just right]. We just finished it off with a light dessert of pear and chocolate frozen concoction that I don't remember what it's called now but was the icing on the cake so to speak. All in all, I would come back here anytime/everytime I'm in Paris and I highly recommend you do too as I have with all my friends that did not come out disappointed. read more

Came here for lunch and was the first few people. This place was highly recommended on yelp but I would have to say I was underwhelmed. The food was okay but the service was poor. Also it's abit odd to see the server having to bring meat and bread from a different restaurant across the street to prepare our meal. Also I'd say this place is more touristy as I didn't see 1 local whole we were there. read more

It's ok. It's not great. Overpriced. Reviews saying best meal in Paris etc are hard for me to understand.

Superb! The beef bourguignon was simply amazing, as were the mashed potatoes. And the hot apple dessert was the perfect way to end a lovely meal. Reservations are recommended for its small and intimate. Our waiter was so kind to translate the menu for us. I highly recommend this place! read more

The food is amazing! Our best meal in Paris. Definitely a must if you are in Paris! We ordered the lamb rack, escargot and beef bourginon and it was delicious! read more

Went on the Yelp advice... Top 3 meals I've had in my life. I came for a steak frites, and the waiter/manager said "no, my specialty is beef borguigieon." I listened, and I'll never look back. It may be the end of July, but that was so delicious my friend and I were fighting over it. The escargot and frog legs were also delicious. I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in Paris. read more

We came to this restaurant for dinner after a disappointing shopping experience before returning to our hotel. I recommend the lamb and apple pie. Sorry vegans, I don't recall seeing anything on the menu for you. read more

we were staying in the montmartre area and were super tired and hungry from traveling all day. i used the yelp app on my phone and la cave gourmande popped right up as a nearby restaurant. the reviews were all great so we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. literally the best paris bistro fare we had on our entire trip to paris! the beef bourguignon is a must have and duck was exquisite! Definitely worth a visit if you are in Paris! Reservations recommended (but they were kind enough to squeeze us in without reservations). for more details and pictures of our meal please visit my blog at http://travelbitsandbites.blogspot.com/2015/09/restaurant-review-la-cave-gourmande-aka.html read more

Had a lovely meal at this cozy, classic bistro. We had the duck (outstanding) and the salmon (very good). The profiteroles and chocolate cake were delicious, too. Attentive, friendly service as well :) We will most definitely return and recommend. read more

Excellent restaurant. The beef bourginon was simmered for 24 hours instead of the typical 8. It was exquisite. The braised duck was perfect with the perfect touch of Szechuan peppercorns in a very good sauce. I recommend this place to anyone that wants to have an excellent meal. read more

Had a lunch there on sunday as part of a blitz Paris visit. I believe we were the customers from hell: there was supposed to be 4 or 5 of us but 8 came, including a little girl who wanted ham (which wasn't on the menu, so the waitress actually went across the street in the monsoon rain to get it and didn't charge us), a ravenous and less than happy sister, a father who was insistant and myself who kept pouring my wine on the table. The waitress was on her own but she was incredibly efficient and pleasant, never made us feel like the crazy mess we were. Now on to the food: I had a goat cheese started that was just divine, the best part of the meal. I had duck magret, cooked to perfection, with sauce (all mopped up with baguette) and roasted new potatoes. The wine was also amazing and we had an excellent time there. I really highly recommend it to anyone, the menu is small but covers all the best stuff and everyone's sure to find something they'll love. read more
