After a stroll in Montmartre, you’ll be starving! That’s why we want to introduce you to this rare gem, a unique place in the Parisian district. Let’s head to Moulin de la Galette restaurant…
The story of a windmill, in Montmartre of course!
This famous windmill – called la Galette – is the last remaining operational windmill in the Montmartre district. Even though the mill is located on a private property inaccessible to the public, everyone can see it at the corner of rue Lepic and rue Girardon. In the same place, you can find the eponymous restaurant: Le Moulin de la Galette. The famous singer Dalida had her regular table there, still preserved. You came at the right time – dinner is served!

Two partners in love with the windmill and Montmartre
The windmill was converted to an open-air cafe in the 19th century and finally a restaurant in the 1980s. Later in 2015, two friends took over the Moulin de la Galette restaurant. Cédric Barbier, a businessman living in Montmartre for a long time, went into partnership with an adventurous chef, Nicolas Tourneville. They wanted to breathe life back into a mythical place on the really famous Montmartre hill while offering truly French traditional gastronomy.
Le Moulin de la Galette restaurant: French traditional cuisine
After crossing the charming flowered courtyard, a large, refined room welcomes you. In the kitchen, the chef Nicolas Tourneville and his executive assistant, Anthony Huguenin, offer a market-fresh seasonal menu.
À la carte: several dishes catch our attention like the foie gras terrine served with roasted quince fruit, beef cheek stew in a cabernet sauce, and to end your meal with something sweet, try the pineapple carpaccio with a side of sorbet.
If you want a perfect wine match, you can trust the sommelier or choose one to fit your taste of the moment…
