Welcome to L'Entr'Acte, a hidden gem nestled in the artistic enclave of Montmartre, Paris. This quintessential French restaurant invites you to experience the true flavors of France in an intimate setting that encourages conversation and camaraderie.

As you step through the doors of L'Entr'Acte, you're greeted by the warm ambiance crafted by the hands of its sole chef and host, Gilles. This talented "one-man band" does it all—from expertly whipping up delectable dishes to charming guests with his delightful personality. The decor might be cozy and modest, but it's the culinary experience that truly shines.

The restaurant specializes in authentic French cuisine that highlights fresh, local ingredients. Imagine digging into a perfectly seared salmon, praised by patrons as one of the best they've ever had, or savoring tender cuts of beef accompanied by a robust sauce that dances on your palate. Each dish is a testament to Gilles's dedication to quality and flavor, ensuring every plate is a celebration of French culinary traditions.

The wine list is thoughtfully curated and, as customer Christopher Bird pointed out, extremely well-priced, making it easy to find the perfect bottle to complement your meal. From sweet whites that pair well with seafood to bold reds that elevate meat dishes, every sip enhances the dining experience. It's no wonder that diners, like Aymeric Dekerdanet, consistently deem L'Entr'Acte as one of the best restaurants in Paris—if you’re lucky enough to snag a reservation!

The atmosphere here is casual yet charming, encouraging guests to engage with one another—a delightful side effect of the restaurant’s intimate size. Imagine sitting elbow-to-elbow with fellow food lovers, sharing laughter and stories over exquisite dishes. One customer, HJ A, beautifully captures this experience, recalling how Gilles not only impressed with his culinary skills but also enchanted guests with his warm humor and hospitality. Sharing a drink with this master of flavors post-meal becomes a cherished memory.

L'Entr'Acte is not just about food; it is an experience of authentic French culture. As Julie Vermooten notes, the restaurant is committed to using only fresh products that exemplify the notion of "real French cuisine." The value for money is simply superb, making every visit not just a meal but a celebration of gastronomy that you won't want to miss. Reservations are essential, so be sure to have your hotel assist you in securing a table for this unforgettable culinary journey.

If you find yourself in Montmartre, do not overlook this extraordinary spot. L'Entr'Acte is more than a restaurant; it's a destination where exceptional food bonds people together. Come, indulge, and create lasting memories—one delightful dish at a time.

A very small place. One man band who cooks well. Extremely well priced wine list. It encourages chatting with neighbors - so we did. Really good value. Like it a lot. But you do need a reservation. Best to have your hotel do it for you

One of the best restaurants in Paris I've been to by far (if not the best). That is, if you're lucky enough to get a table!

Came here with local friends and was enchanted by the quality of the food and the charm of the one man band who is behind this. Gilles is a perfect gentleman with a terrific sense of humour. The salmon I ate was the best I have ever had, and the atmosphere, and the chance to have a drink with Monsieur Gilles after the meal was very special. I will never forget my evening at L'Entracte.
