Chez La Mere Catherine is in a fabulous location in the heart of the Place du Tertre with al fresco dining in the summer
Paris restaurant Chez la Mere Catherine in Montmartre's Place du Tertre is one of the city's most historic eateries, founded in 1793. Chez la Mere Catherine was reputedly the first 'bistro' to open in Paris and is also the place where Danton wrote the famous words 'Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die'. These days in Chez la Mere Catherine, the bistrot spirit is still sacred and reigns supreme: checked table cloths, wood panelling and live music are all essential components of this successful restaurant formula. The menu at Chez la Mere Catherine has changed over the years, but not enough to upset the clientele -- ginger grilled frogs' legs, honey confit of suckling pig, seabream with mango coulis, crème brûlée. Sit on the celebrated terrace, right on the Place du Tertre, renowned for its portrait artists, and enjoy Montmartre's romantic village ambience, whilst cabaret singers serenade you nightly with chansons of days gone by. You really can't get a more authentic Paris restaurant experience than this.
