Montmartre with its artists and strolling musicians is a tourists dream. Sometimes, however, you want to step off the tourist track and sample the real local fare. In my opinion, Restaurant Au clair de la lune, 9 rue Poulbot offers that exact opportunity. The environment is quaint, the food is excellent and the wait staff is very attentive.
My first experience with Au clair de la lune was for a business meeting and the venue was ideal. My second experience was for a romantic dinner with my wife....again it did not disappoint.

that sells chocolate would fail to catch my eye), and there on the counter they were giving customers free tastes of several different imported brews. The first one I tried did not appeal - tasting much like the soap-water that most Pilsners invoke on my palate. When I told the salesman that I'm not much of a beer drinker, but do like some dark brews, he offered me a small glass of something darker. That brew was "Duchesse deBourgogne" from the brewer Verhaeghe in Vichte, Belgium, and so much taken was I by it that I willingly put down the special sale price of £1 (a real bargain, apparently - see below for other prices) for a small, elegant looking coffee coloured bottle (see pictures above and below) containing a mere 250ml of the product.
Now, the label here tells us that this is a top fermented beer which has been matured in oaken ...
