Pigalle: the best addresses in this lovely neighborhood in Paris
Just below the famous Montmartre, you'll find the more rugged Pigalle neighborhood. What used to be known as the Moulin Rouge district is now a stunning neighborhood with several hip, trendy spots. From the best bakeries to charming wine bars, Pigalle has it all.
The building alone, with its white facade, is a gem. Magnolia Easily deserves a 10/10. Magnolia is one of those places where everything is perfect. An elegant yet welcoming restaurant in Pigalle, just steps from the Saint-Georges metro station.
Chef Noah Howell certainly cooks French cuisine, but with a modern twist: classics, but with a twist. Think of an irresistible Brussels sprouts and Comté tarte tatin. Or you could finish with a dessert of popcorn ice cream, porcini mushroom cream, and caramel.
Add to that a delicious wine selection, good cocktails, and above all: a great atmosphere and you won't want to leave.
You can't get any fresher or tastier than this. At Ronnie's, you have to pop in for a croissant to go, or a delicious coffee and treat in this cozy little shop. Everything is kneaded and baked fresh daily at Ronnie's. The bar is the best place to sit, where you can watch the delicious sandwiches being made.
This is one you shouldn’t miss if you’re going for a tour around Pigalle. Thirst is the wine bar of the moment, with a wonderfully lively atmosphere and irresistible wines by the bottle, on the tap or available from the large barrels.
Besides the wide selection of wines, Soif also offers a small menu. Think snacks rather than full meals, but hey, it's certainly not insignificant. The cheeses are delicious with fresh bread from the bakery around the corner. Soif also hosts various pop-up events showcasing their wines, and you can, of course, also pick up a bottle to take home.
After gaining experience together at the Michelin-starred Pages restaurant in Paris, the duo decided to open their own patisserie in Pigalle. With all their experience, it was bound to be a hit. Rayonnance is a blend of French pastry with a touch of Japanese influence. It's no wonder their Mont Blanc with Yusu is a real winner.
A nice coffee shop should not be missed during your day in Pigalle. Simple Coffee is exactly the kind of coffee shop where you accidentally walk into for your coffee fix and then end up hanging around.
No fuss here, just truly good coffee. Beautiful espressos, delicious lattes (and don't forget the hot chocolate), and a menu that will make you happy: brunch and lunch dishes that sound simple but are just a little bit better than expected. Think fresh salads, comfort food with a healthy twist, and homemade sweets that are dangerously delicious.
