Montmartre in the 20th century was the archetypal artistic and lively district, where artists met passers-by in the streets and cafés, in between wandering off to find their inspiration. Au Rêve was one of those lively places where so many cultured people came for a coffee, including Jacques Brel, Patrick Modiano, Marcel Aymé, Claude Nougaro and Fabrice Luchini, as well as journalists, comic strip artists and neighboring workers. After closing in 2009, the mythical café, a veritable institution, will be back inOctober 2023!
Foralmost fifty years ,Elyette and Pierre Ségard-Planchon have keptthe café alive as a family heirloom, which they would now like to see "regain its soul", as Le Parisien reportedin 2021. After seeing the literary and artistic Paris of thetime come and go, the place has been refurbished by the architects of Studio Saint-Lazare, while preserving Montmartre's architectural and cultural heritage.
89 rue Caulaincourt is coming back to life, day and night, and new regulars are sure to make their mark, on the very benches where so many celebrities sat and where the famous "Ne me quitte pas" was written. Everything is homemade, with a fine cocktail menu and classic bistro cuisine, alongside daily specials from Mathieu Renucci, who takes over the myth with Clémentine Larroumet and Antoine Ricardou. We can't wait to see the emblematic neon sign again !
