There is the Montmartre overrun by tourists: Sacre Coeur, and la Place des Tertres, and the village on a hill of les Montmartrois. I was meeting Chris, my Australian mate from Sydney for lunch to discuss the rental of his 2 BR flat just off the Rue Lamarck, high up in that Montmartre.

His choice, Bistro Poulpot, was a fixture for years that had recently been updated by Veronique MELLOUL and is now a luncheon canteen for locals.
The menu is drawn from her Mamie Louise’s family recipes and her years of haute cuisine cookery in French Polynesia.
Moments after being seated a complimentary cocktail of rum, orange juice and grenadine with an orange slice floating on top was placed before us-no umbrella.
At 13.50 it was impossible to resist the formule. A gazpacho, followed by a blanquette de poulet, a tasty riff on the classic blanquette de veau. A red from the Languedoc worked and we saved enough to enjoy with a comté and runny camembert.A delightful afternoon.
In the evening when the crowd swells with travelers who have heard good things she expands her selections dramatically and often organizes vegetarian gastronomique dinners.
