While exploring Montmartre and climbing the charming Rue Foyatier, my family and I stumbled upon a restaurant called Au Rendez-Vous de Montmartre—and what a find it was.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth. What truly made our evening special was our lovely server, who also happens to be the owner’s son. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. We asked him several questions about the menu, and not only did he answer everything with enthusiasm, but he also made the effort to bring out the tajine dish and explain to my mom how it’s prepared, lifting the lid right at the table. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that really stood out.
For drinks, I believe we ordered two beers, two mojitos (one mango and one strawberry), and apple juice. For our meal, we shared a kefta tajine, two couscous dishes (one with lamb, one with meatballs), brochette et frite, and a greek salad. The portions were generous and well worth the price, and every dish was full of flavor. It was clear that everything was made with care and love.
As Canadian French speakers, we’d encountered a few communication challenges during our time in Paris. But at Au Rendez-Vous, we felt completely at ease. The staff was welcoming and kind, making us feel right at home, no matter how different our accent might have sounded.
Thank you for such a fantastic experience! We’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time. Our family wholeheartedly recommends Au Rendez-Vous de Montmartre to anyone visiting Paris—whether you're looking for delicious food, warm service, or just a place that makes you...
Read moreWhat a find! Montmartre is on a hill that requires climbing stairs or hopping on the funiculere. So it's easy to pick the first bar restaurant once on top. We chose to walk more inside the village to avoid the massive crowd. I am so glad we did! We found Au rendez vous de Monmartre by accident and it was perfect! There are choices of traditional French fares and middle eastern dishes as well like couscous. I had a brick au thon and Ron had a walnut chicken salad. My brick au thon is a simple tuna salad with an egg yolk hiding in the middle as it is wrapped in Phyllo dough. The egg yolk smothers the brick as l pierced the Phyllo dough with my fork. It was a perfect lunch! Ron's chicken salad had freshly roasted chicken, very moist and juicy. The butter lettuce was so delicate and tender, the walnuts were fresh nuts that tasted delicious. Great address...
Read moreThere is one clear value in this family-run restaurant: generosity! We were extremely lucky that they agreed to host our wedding cocktail night. It was absolutely perfect! All of it! The atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. Our guests got to enjoy the unique spirit of the Montmartre village. The family made sure that every single one of us got enough drinks, food, and attention. And, when I mention food: it is the unmissable couscous that makes the family solid reputation. It was a gorgeous and generous meal for all. Cherry on the cake: their friendly service made sure that all our guests felt at home.
We will be back again and again to enjoy the true spirit of Montmartre.
