L'Avant-Poste

Top choice in Montmartre & Northern Paris


'Eco-responsible' is the tasty buzzword at the second outpost of Les Résistants, in a former wig shop in the earthy 10e. Fresh, seasonal produce is sourced from artisan producers and the menu changes daily – waste is just not a word here. Tuck into seaweed-spiked beetroot borsch (soup) or Corsican panzetta (pork) with an old-fashioned mix of spelt, mushrooms, courgette and chard. Reservations vital.
