An Amélie-Inspired Lunch at Cafe de Deux Moulins in Montmartre

A few weeks ago, I came to Montmartre with my parents, however we were not able to get a table at Cafe de Deux Moulins. Today, I came back to fulfill my little Amélie movie dreams!

This time around, there was no line out the door. Actually, it was at 50% capacity at around 1PM on a Sunday afternoon at around the peak of tourist season! I got lucky!

They offer an “Amelie Afternoon Snack” that includes coffee, hot chocolate, or tea with Creme Brulee

What I Ordered

They do not have an extensive menu, but I went for a two course meal for €15. I ordered the veal and sauteed sweet peas and an after-meal dessert of creme brulee! I truly enjoyed my little afternoon in Montmartre and I extremely enjoyed my meal in such an iconic spot for movie lovers!

Amelie Lunch 7

Sauteed sweet peas with mushrooms and veal with cheese and topped with bacon. This meal exceeded all expectations! I was preparing for a mediocre lunch at a tourist trap, but the veal was tender and soft as butter and I couldn’t have been happier with the service!

Again for emphasis!

And of course, you have to order Creme Brulee!

And yes, I cracked the Creme Brulee all over before eating it!

This is probably one of the most enjoyable things I have done on my own in Paris! I knew this is where I wanted to go for a very long time and to have finally satisfied my curiosity and fulfilled my move-lover dreams is a wonderful treat!

Made it to top of Montmartre at the Sacre Coeur Basilica

The Sacre Coeur is a basilica at the top of Montmartre with some of the most amazing views of Paris! There are no photos allowed inside the church out of the respect for visitors, but I did take some of the area!

I feel like I’m on Pride Rock, observing my Kingdom…

Another Amelie Moment!

I am noticing now that Amelie is a love story of Montmartre as much as it is between two destined characters! Everywhere in Montmartre looks familiar and below, you can find the famous scene at the base of Sacre Coeur!

Where Nino peeked through to find Amelie! Gosh this is nerdy…

That concludes my day in Montmartre! This is by far my favorite part of Paris and I would highly recommend everyone to visit!
