Bienvenue to the heart of Montmartre, where vibrant artistry meets irresistible gastronomy at Bouillon Pigalle! Brace yourself for an epicurean escapade filled with delightful flavors, quick service, affordable indulgence, and an unbeatable location near the iconic Moulin Rouge.


Bonjour, Foodies and Fun-seekers!

Step right up to Bouillon Pigalle, where the culinary magic happens faster than you can say "escargot"! With long lines that speak to its popularity, fear not, for the efficient service ensures your taste buds won't be kept waiting. It's the perfect spot to dive into affordable French cuisine without breaking the bank. My friend and I waited about 35 minutes in line before we were seated which was not to bad since we arrived a bit early in order for it to align with our regular eating time.


More Than a Meal, It's an Experience:

Bouillon Pigalle isn't just a restaurant; it's a hub of bustling energy and mouthwatering aromas. As you join fellow food enthusiasts from around the globe, you'll find yourself immersed in conversations, laughter, and the undeniable joy of savouring traditional French dishes made with love and flair. My friend and I were traveling from Canada, and we had met the most interesting people, as it is often very easy to do with the little space we had between tables. To our left we had met a lovely couple from the United States commenting at the quirky difference in size between each piece of their cutlery. My friend and them even did a little exchange of spoons.


Quick Bites, Big Delights:

Who says good food has to be a time-consuming affair? At Bouillon Pigalle, the service is as swift as the Seine. While the lines may be long, the wait is well worth it when you're greeted with plate after plate of savory goodness that captures the essence of French comfort cuisine.


We each ordered a bowl of french onion soup, and shared a plate of Gratin de macaroni, jambon de Paris & truffe d’été (ham, cheese and truffle pasta, Bœuf bourguignon, a side of Ratatouille, and for dessert we also shared Coupe de fraises (cup of strawberries) and a Gâteau au chocolat avec crème anglaise. It was delightful meal and for the price I cannot complain. I will say that the French Onion soup could have been cooked a touch longer as the onions were a tad on the al dente side and would recommending passing on the Bœuf bourguignon as it was a lot. Everything else was perfect and would recommend ordering a variety of items and sharing them.
