The André del Sarte street is one of the most iconic streets in the Montmartre neighborhood. This small street with less than 30 numbers is as rich in history as it is in its residents. Bringing together creative workshops, super stylish clothing brands, and mouthwatering restaurants, you're bound to make a stop here. Just for you, here are 8 must-visit spots to discover.
Located between Square Louise Michel and the incredible monument of the former Dufayel galleries, the André del Sarte street is unique in its kind. As the only street on this side that gives access to the Butte de Montmartre, it is a must for passersby. While we have often walked through it, this time we decided to stop and discover a little more.

La Colline d’Asie
If you want to eat real traditional Asian cuisine, La Colline d'Asie is the place to go. A true institution on the street, this Khmer and Cambodian restaurant is highly reputed. We gladly taste the essential Bo-Bun, which is super generous, and the delicious Pho that is just amazing. Located at the foot of the Butte de Montmartre, the restaurant is often crowded with passersby who can smell the delicious scent emanating from the street, but mostly with regular customers. So, you'll have to wait a little to get a table. Trust us, it's worth it for the incredible cuisine.The wait is finally over!+

Mazurka
In addition to the traditional Polish 3/4 time dance, Mazurka is mainly the restaurant where we can take a culinary journey through the wonderful flavors of Poland.
All that's left. On the menu? Polish, Russian, and Gypsy dishes such as Kotlet Krakowski, a mixture of minced beef and pork balls with a creamy mushroom sauce and potatoes, or Polish Pierogi, delicious stuffed dumplings. In addition to enjoying traditional dishes made with love, it's the extraordinary atmosphere that we adore about this place. Inside the restaurant, the dim lighting and numerous antique furniture transport us to another time. Gypsy musical instruments are hung on the walls, along with numerous guitars. During dinner, several musicians play traditional Polish, Russian, and Gypsy music to introduce us to their beautiful culture. More than just a restaurant, it's an immersive experience for our eyes, ears, and taste buds.

Sarté restaurant
This is the spot to come for an afterwork with your gang. Imagine yourself after a long day of work, settling down in this little street to savor quality dishes. With its minimalist menu and seasonal ingredients, Sarté restaurant has a little taste of "I want more". Whether it's for an aperitif or dinner, all the dishes are mouthwatering. We easily think of the shared platter with carrots and radishes for a 100% healthy aperitif. Add a little glass of wine to that and you're all set! If you feel like continuing the adventure after the aperitif, indulge in the lemon-marinated Saint-Jacques carpaccio or the Burrata with white asparagus, Swiss chard and wild garlic pesto. Just talking about it makes our mouths water. A true address to remember!Don't miss out, we still recommend you to book.
