Le Consulat

18 Rue Norvins, 75018 Paris

Steeped in history and frequented by famed personalities like Picasso and Monet, it’s both an artists’ enclave and an Instagram hotspot! Le Consulat’s vintage charm, scrumptious crêpes, and social media status make it a must when in Montmartre.

Reconverted train station that is now a spacious cantine and coworking space.

La REcyclerie

74 Blvd des Batignolles 75017, Paris

When someone takes an abandoned train station & turns it into a bar/canteen, you just know it’s going to be cool. This unexpected & eco-friendly gem on the disaffected railway La Petite Ceinture also features its very own vegetable patch with an adjacent pétanque court. Head to this unique space on the weekend for a relaxed bite to eat (3 different restaurants) & a few drinks, or come here in the summer for one of their outdoor movie nights on the old train tracks!
