Cafe Des Deux Moulins

I’m sorry I only visited it on my last day in Paris. I wasn’t hungry so I only got a coffee, but the food looked really good so I will just have to back and try it next time! I sat outside, which is fine if you don’t mind the tourist trams going by with everyone taking pictures of the cafe (and therefore you).

_{My really wonky photo is due to the fact that I was sitting beside two real Parisians and didn’t want them to see me taking photos, so this was taken with my camera half-hidden under the table. Sad but true.}

i happened to wander upon the cafe in one of my many rambles through montmartre. honestly this was one of the better meals i had in the city, (relatively cheap) they let me sit in there for hours and read. had a great conversation with one of the waitresses in french about tattoos. – but for the amelie fans – the interior is compeltely changed. the tabac is gone, the booths have changed, etc… but it’s still very cool. there is a huge signed (by audrey tautou) poster in the back.

One of the key locations from “Amelie” and is mostly recognisable from the movie – there have been one or two minor changes since it was filmed. (Most sadly, the tabac ! The owners must’ve been getting fed up with the number of photos being taken). The WC was still in situ the last time I was there, though…

For those who haven’t been yet, it’s easy enough to find – the cafe’s only about 15 seconds from the front door of the Moulin Rouge !

Very cozy french cafe, it’s kind of dirty though. If you’re a fan you don’t care, but the board where she writes the day’s special is not there.
