Establishment with terrace and interior patio offering traditional French cuisine, all the great classics.
Set on the Montmartre hill, La Mère Catherine is part of the decor. Since its creation, this establishment, opened in 1793, has seen many regulars and tourists from around the world who enter this bistro on the traces of Danton. You must have understood that you are in a Montmartre institution. Here, you will enjoy a traditional French cuisine in a rustic setting with checkered tablecloths and ancient paintings. All the classics are waiting for you; from the homemade onion soup with gratin to the stuffed suckling pig. Green apple and avocado tartare with langoustines, egg cocotte with foie gras, whole roasted sea bass with fennel, duck breast with spices and sarladaises potatoes - just reading the menu whets our appetite. For the dessert, you can have flambéed banana and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, homemade tart tatin and fresh cream and homemade creme brulee with vanilla, all of these in a warm and often musical atmosphere... On sunny days, the terrace on the place du Tertre is very lively, but the indoor "patio" is also very pleasant. It is a good place to stay in Montmartre that has not been affected by time... When tradition and history meet, it is at La Mère Catherine that they talk.
Members' reviews on LA MÈRE CATHERINE
The Fish wasnt the best but it was eatable the servants were good
And for 12 euro this was a W
It was such a chill and cozy ambiance, with every staff member wearing a smile and speaking softly amidst the background music of live performances.
The meal itself was incredibly delicious and beautifully presented with a reasonable price. We ordered an onion soup, steak and truffle pasta.
As we prepared to settle the bill, one of the staff approached me and asked where I was from. To my surprise, they then spoke to me in my native language and wished us a wonderful evening.
This experience truly stood out as one of the best I've had as a customer.
