The terrace
A terrace on Place du Tertre, in Montmartre.
Among the painters, from the first coffee to the last glass.
Chez Eugène, a restaurant and wine bar at 17 place du Tertre, has a terrace in the middle of Montmartre's painters' square, open from March to October, 8am to 2am, with the kitchen running non-stop from 8am to 11pm. It can be booked online, it's wheelchair accessible, and it can be hired privately for up to 100 people. The Sacré-Cœur is a three-minute walk away.
Where it is
The only restaurant terrace among the easels
Place du Tertre is Montmartre's painters' square, 250 metres behind the Sacré-Cœur. Our terrace sits right on it, under the red awning, between the portrait artists and caricaturists who have worked here for a century. You have lunch with an easel two metres away, dinner facing the lit-up façades, and in the morning you drink your coffee on a square that's still empty. It's not a rooftop: it's better, it's the square itself.
Hours
Open 8am to 2am, March to October
The terrace is set up from March to October, every day, from 8am for breakfast until 2am for the last glass. The kitchen serves non-stop from 8am to 11pm: breakfast until 11:30am, then the bistro menu without a break, eggs mayonnaise, onion soup, beef and carrot stew, cheese and charcuterie boards. In winter, the dining room and the upstairs room have the same windows onto the square.
Morning
Breakfast on the terrace, before everyone else
At 8am the square is empty and the painters are setting up their easels. It's breakfast time, set breakfasts from €11 to €24, homemade pancakes and organic eggs, and onion soup for those who walked up the hill. We're the only place open on the square at that hour.
Evening
After 10pm, Place du Tertre is yours
The other restaurants close one by one, the painters' chairs are stacked, the square empties. What's left is Eugène's candles, the Sacré-Cœur lit up at the end of the street and the sound of glasses. We stay open until 2am, open one last bottle from the cellar, and the terrace becomes the best wine bar in Montmartre to finish it.
Booking
Booking a terrace table in Montmartre
The terrace is booked online like the rest, for up to 9 people, with “terrace” in the message. Weekday lunchtimes we keep tables for walk-ins; evenings and weekends, book. If the weather turns, we seat you inside with the same view of the square.
In a group
Private hire of the terrace: up to 100 people
A standing afterwork among the painters, a birthday cocktail, leaving drinks, a corporate party: the terrace can be hired from March to October for up to 100 people, with aperitif formats from €25 per person and cocktail dinners from €50. Combined with the upstairs room and the dining room, the house takes 135 guests. Julie builds it with you.
A word from Julie
Not many terraces look out onto easels. Ours lives to the rhythm of the neighbourhood: quiet in the morning, full at lunch, all ours after 10pm once the neighbours have stacked their chairs. It's our favourite Montmartre.
