With its large windows and a few carefully chosen antiques, this recently revived belle
époque cafe at the foot of Montmartre feels about as timeless as the Butte itself. Dating back
to 1894 and attached to the century-old Le Trianon theatre, it's no stretch to imagine artists
like Toulouse-Lautrec and crowds of show-goers once filling the place in the evening.
Well-prepared standards (steak tartare, grilled swordfish) are served throughout the day;
you can also just stop in for a drink.

(like foc-
cacias) and mini breads that come with a range of alluring toppings (fig and goat's cheese,
bacon and olives).
