A 16th-century house in the heart of Old Montmartre, La Bonne Franquette keeps alive the Montmartre tradition of cheerfulness and friendliness, welcoming artists and winemakers as well as those who love good wine and food, in keeping with its motto "Love, Eat, Drink and Sing". Formerly known as "Aux Billards en Bois", it is said that "La Bonne Franquette" was so named in 1925 by Francisque Poulbot. Perched on the summit of La Butte, set slightly apart from the Place du Tertre, the restaurant transports tourists and Parisians alike with its village ambiance and its atmosphere typical of Old Montmartre. La Bonne Franquette's cuisine serves simple, traditional dishes using local produce selected for its consistently high quality. The house speciality is braised beef with honey-glazed carrots.
