Homemadecookingin Montmartre
The definition
Homemade, for real
Homemade cooking isn't a line on a chalkboard: it's a way of working. At Berchoux, every dish starts from raw produce, peeled, cut and cooked in our kitchen in the 18th — never a reheated assembly out of a box.
The result is a neighbourhood canteen in Montmartre where you find the taste of simple things done well: generous, seasonal cooking that changes with the market and is eaten without fuss.
The way we work
How we cook from scratch
Real homemade cooking comes down to a few gestures held every day, from the market to the service. Here is how we work at the restaurant.
Raw produce
We start from whole vegetables, meats and fish, not ready-made preparations. Everything is peeled, cut and cooked on site, from morning to service.
The market decides
The menu is written after the market, not before. We cook what looks best on the day, short supply, with specialty bread from Bun's Bakery.
Made the same day
Cooking, sauces, desserts: everything is prepared on the day, in the right quantity. Nothing sleeps in the freezer, nothing gets microwaved.
By hand, not by machine
Cooking on a human scale, where we taste, adjust and plate to order. The care of a great house at the service of a neighbourhood canteen.
Why go homemade
Real flavour
A dish cooked that very morning has nothing to do with an industrial product: more flavour, more freshness, a texture that doesn't exist in a reheated meal.
Nothing goes to waste
Cooking from scratch from the market also means cooking smart: we use the whole produce, cut down waste and adjust quantities day by day.
You know what you eat
No mystery additives, no unreadable labels: produce we choose, recipes we master, cooking that's clear and honest, from the market to the plate.
On the plate
Market cooking that keeps changing
Seasonal bowls, generous sandwiches, dishes of the day and homemade desserts: our menu follows the market and the chef's ideas. It moves with the seasons, never fixed, always in season.
Vegetables take pride of place, with meat and fish alongside, well chosen. You'll also find the comforting homemade classics, including our carrot cake made on site.
The chef
Thirty years of stars, one homemade canteen
Julie Berchoux spent thirty years in Michelin-starred kitchens, alongside houses such as Robuchon, Ducasse, Taillevent and Fauchon, before opening her Montmartre canteen.
That rigour is what she now puts into everyday cooking: the same respect for produce as in fine dining, applied to homemade, market-led, seasonal cooking that you simply enjoy.
