Montmartre is a hill of about 130 m in the north of the 18e, and it stayed outside the city until it was annexed on 1 January 1860.1 The Sacré-Cœur on its summit was built from 1876 to 1919, and a funicular climbs from Place Saint-Pierre so you can skip the 222 steps of Rue Foyatier.1

Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon at the Bateau-Lavoir, and Renoir painted the Bal du moulin de la Galette in 1876.1 Below the summit the 18e is a large residential arrondissement with its cafés spread out: Rue Championnet has the most, followed by Rue Marcadet, Rue Custine and Rue Ramey.

Local tip: Ride the funicular from Place Saint-Pierre to skip the 222 steps of Rue Foyatier, then walk down to Rue Lepic, where the Café des 2 Moulins serves until 02:00.1

Getting up the hill

Métro lines 2, 4, 12 and 13 serve Montmartre, and Lamarck–Caulaincourt on line 12 is the nearest station to La Maison Rose.12 A small vineyard on Rue Saint-Vincent still makes about 500 liters of wine a year.1 On Place du Tertre, artists paint visitors’ portraits, and van Gogh painted the Moulin de la Galette in 1887, eleven years after Renoir’s dance hall scene.1

The 18e had 196,131 residents in 2017 on about 6 km².5 Away from the summit, Rue Championnet, in the north of the arrondissement, has more cafés than Rue des Abbesses and Rue Lepic.

Amélie’s café and La Maison Rose

The Café des 2 Moulins on Rue Lepic appears in the 2001 film Amélie, which also has a key scene in the gardens below the Sacré-Cœur.1 It opens 07:30–02:00 on weekdays and 08:00–02:00 at weekends.

La Maison Rose, at 2 Rue de l’Abreuvoir, began when the painter Ramon Pichot bought the house around 1905; Germaine, whom he married in 1908, painted it pink and opened it as a restaurant.2 Its own history credits Élisée Maclet with painting it before Maurice Utrillo made it famous.2

Béatrice Miolano bought the restaurant in 1948, and her granddaughter took it over with a new team in 2017; the menu is short and seasonal, with vegan and gluten-free dishes.2 It opens Wednesday to Sunday, with lunch 12:00–14:30, tea and drinks 15:30–17:30 without a reservation, and dinner from 18:00.2

Specialty coffee in the 18e

Lomi has roasted since 2010 and opened its café at 3 ter Rue Marcadet in 2012, a short walk from the Gare du Nord.3 It opens 08:00–18:00 on weekdays and 10:00–19:00 at weekends. Dose has a bar at 74 Rue Lamarck, and The Beans on Fire, at 6 Rue Androuet, opens 08:00–18:00 on weekdays.

Early and late counters

Café d’Albert at 115 Rue Ordener and Le Clignancourt at 79 Boulevard Ornano open at 06:00, and Café Francœur on Rue Caulaincourt at 06:30. Café d’Albert and Café Francœur serve until 02:00 every day, as do Le Montmartre and Le Cépage Montmartrois on Rue Caulaincourt.

Counter prices sit near the Paris average: three 18e bars averaged €2.17 for a café in October 2026.4
