Aux Négociants

On the north side of Montmartre down a Rue Custine side street, this off-the-beaten-path wine bar and bistro specializes in authentic, family-style French cuisine. Long a favorite of neighborhood artists (photographer Robert Doisnesu was a frequent patron), Aux Négociants features small selection of plates, written on a chalkboard and typically including daily doses of pâté, terrine, stew, soup, homemade charcuterie, and of course, foie gras. The kitchen uses seasonal, local ingredients for all the dishes, which pair perfectly with the restaurant’s well-priced wine list.
