The dailymenuin Montmartre
The idea
A menu that changes each day
The daily menu isn't a fixed card brought back week after week. At Berchoux, it's written each morning, after the market: a few dishes, chosen for what looks best and is in season, cooked in our kitchen in the 18th.
You'll find a seasonal bowl, a dish of the day that turns with every service and a generous sandwich, plus a homemade dessert. Enough to eat well at midday, without drowning in an endless menu.
How it works
The daily menu, made clear
A well-made daily menu comes down to a few principles held every midday, from the market to the plate. Here is how it comes together at Berchoux.
Written in the morning
The daily menu is decided after the market, not the day before. We cook what looks best that morning: the produce writes the menu, never the other way round.
Short and sharp
A bowl, a dish of the day, a sandwich, a dessert: enough choice to enjoy yourself, few enough that everything is fresh and cooked on the day.
Quick at noon
The service is built for the lunch break: you order, you're served fast, you leave on time without eating just anything.
Eat in or takeaway
Enjoy it in the dining room with its canteen feel, or take it away for lunch on a bench, overlooking the rooftops of Montmartre.
Why a daily menu
Always in season
A menu that follows the market means cooking with flavour all year round: vegetables arrive at the right time, never forced or out of season.
Nothing goes to waste
Writing the menu day by day means cooking smart: we use the whole produce and adjust quantities, for a midday that's anti-waste and generous.
The surprise of the day
You come back without ever getting bored: the menu changes, you discover a new dish each visit, while still finding the house signatures.
On the plate
Bowls, dish of the day and sandwiches
At the heart of the daily menu, a well-filled seasonal bowl, the dish of the day that changes each midday and a generous sandwich built on specialty bread from Bun's Bakery.
Vegetables take pride of place, with meat and fish alongside. And to finish on a sweet note, a homemade dessert, including our carrot cake made on site.
The chef
Thirty years of stars, a neighbourhood menu
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 the everyday menu: the same respect for produce as in fine dining, at the service of a daily menu you simply enjoy at midday.
