What to Do in Montmartre at Midday

Enjoying Montmartre at midday: where to start

What can you do in Montmartre at midday when you want both a walk and a proper lunch break? The neighbourhood, perched on its hill in the 18th arrondissement, is perfect for a morning of strolling followed by a quality meal. At Berchoux, a flexitarian, anti-waste restaurant located at 16 rue de la Fontaine du But, a few steps from the Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro station, midday revolves around homemade cooking that changes with the market.

Between cobbled lanes, staircases and views over Paris, Montmartre offers many ways to fill your midday. This guide brings together concrete ideas for enjoying the area at lunchtime, from must-see sights to good places to eat, including our neighbourhood table committed since 2020.

Lunch in Montmartre at midday: a tasty break

Midday remains the ideal moment to sit down in Montmartre. At Berchoux, lunch is built around a daily menu at €15, homemade sandwiches at €12 and a dish of the day prepared on site. Our cooking is flexitarian: it gives pride of place to vegetables without leaving out lovers of meat or fish, for an accessible, homemade meal in the heart of the 18th arrondissement.

Our menu is not fixed: it changes according to what the market offers in the morning, and we share it live on Instagram. This freshness guarantees seasonal cooking that differs from one day to the next, ideal for residents, workers and visitors looking for where to have lunch in Montmartre at midday without overspending.

Strolling through Montmartre before or after lunch

Before or after the meal, Montmartre is best discovered on foot. The Sacré-Cœur and its panorama over Paris, the Place du Tertre and its portrait artists, the Montmartre vineyards and the neighbourhood's staircases offer an ideal midday walk. At midday, the light is soft and the lanes quieter than in late afternoon, making the stroll especially pleasant.

Our restaurant is located in Montmartre, a few minutes from the Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro station, a residential area slightly away from the crowds. You can naturally combine a visit to the viewpoints of the Butte with a homemade lunch, without leaving the neighbourhood or multiplying journeys.

Homemade, anti-waste cooking at lunchtime

Having lunch in Montmartre at midday is also a chance to support a responsible approach. Since 2020, we cook what the market offers in the morning, and unsold items become the dish of the day rather than being thrown away. Our anti-waste commitment continues day to day: reducing packaging with the tupperware, a library of books at €1 and speciality bread from Bun's Bakery.

This cooking is led by chef Julie Berchoux, who spent thirty years in Michelin-starred kitchens alongside houses such as Robuchon, Ducasse, Taillevent and Fauchon. This expertise shows in our midday plates, through flexitarian cooking that is fresh and true to our neighbourhood-table approach.

Carrot cake, the midday treat not to miss

To end lunch on a sweet note, our 'world famous' carrot cake has become a recognised signature, mentioned by Google, TripAdvisor and the English-speaking press. It is one of the good reasons to extend your midday break in Montmartre, with a coffee and a slice of homemade cake.

Our sweets range from €5 to €7, in the same accessible spirit as the rest of the menu. With a Google rating of 4.7/5 from 298 reviews, our neighbourhood table remains a reliable spot for a good lunch in Montmartre at midday, between homemade cooking and a warm welcome.

Our midday cooking is part of a commitment to fighting food waste, an issue detailed by ADEME.
