Long renowned for its sultry boutiques and torrid nights, Pigalle has now become a lively district, vibrant day and night. Straddling the 9th and 18th arrondissements of Paris, at the foot of the Montmartre hill, Pigalle is a lively district with a rich cultural heritage. Quite simply, it's impossible to get bored here!
With its many cabarets, theaters, concert halls, affordable bars and the Moulin Rouge, the neighborhood's iconic landmark, Pigalle also boasts a wide range of restaurants where you can sit back and let yourself be inspired by the chefs.
At the counter of trendy cafés, at the table of bistronomic restaurants, on a sunny terrace, the gourmet addresses are as diverse as they are varied. It's hardly surprising, then, that Pigalle was once a meeting place for artists, especially painters like Toulouse-Lautrec, who frequented the neighborhood's cafés.
So, whether you're in the mood to throw one behind your tie or just fancy a good meal with friends, here are the best restaurant addresses in and around Pigalle!
