Cafe des Deux Moulins

About

The Café des Deux Moulins sits in the heart of Paris’ iconic Montmartre quarter, a lively neighborhood that has long attracted artists, writers, and dreamers. With its original 1900s façade and a lively bar‑area full of little tables, the café blends rustic charm with a modern, convivial atmosphere that makes it a perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, or a relaxed evening drink. It is best known as the setting of the beloved 2001 film *Amélie*, where the lively interior echoes the whimsical spirit of the movie, turning every visit into a cinematic experience. Guests can savor a menu that balances classic French staples with freshly prepared dishes, all served on the café’s most frequented terrace or inside the intimate, dim‑lit lounge. The venue enforces its own open‑air service with a robust wine list, a full bar, and a cash‑and‑carry coffee service that many locals and tourists swear by. Despite its popularity, the café remains accessible—no reservation is typically required, and the hours run 7 AM to 2 AM on weekdays with an extended start time of 9 AM on weekends to accommodate early and late crowds. Beyond the food, the café is a cultural landmark: its interior décor, table arrangements, and lighting remind visitors of the Parisian cafés of the early 20th century, while the live music nights and occasional themed events keep its modern edge. It has attracted a diverse crowd ranging from film buffs to foodies, making it a staple of Montmartre’s vibrant street life. Whether you’re chasing the Amélie experience, looking for a relaxed spot to enjoy French bistro fare, or simply dipping into one of Paris’s most photographed cafés, the Café des Deux Moulins offers a genuinely immersive atmosphere that captures the essence of Montmartre’s timeless charm.
