The square around Place du Tertre is known for its artist cafés where visitors can hear the murmur of painters and street performers, although prices here tend to be higher due to its popularity.
For a quieter meal, side streets like Rue des Abbesses offer local bistros where well-prepared dishes are served in a relaxed setting with rustic décor. Montmartre also features several wine bars and pâtisseries where guests can enjoy light meals or desserts such as tarte aux pommes. The area's hilly layout means walking between venues is common, so comfortable footwear is recommended.
