Restaurants near French Lover for Dummies

Le Replat de Montmarte was a chance find for me. I had decided to walk up to Sacre Couer on my first night in Paris after flying in from the east coast. I had a day to explore and I wanted to make the most of it. I had always wanted to see the view from Sacre Couer at night. After enjoying the walk up and the views, I decided I was hungry. I pulled up the handy dandy Open Table app and looked for places nearby. This restaurant had solid ratings, the price point seemed good, and they could get me in at a time that worked for me. The place is tiny and the tables are pretty much crammed together, but it didn't feel claustrophobic. I was seated quickly by the staff and presented a menu that had a wide variety of choices. The question was not so much "what do I want?" but "What don't I want". The person dining next to me had the duck and it looked amazing, but I ended up going for the chicken special. I got a simple green salad to start and the house rose which was one of the best I've had. The chicken arrived on a bed of pureed turnip with a beautiful sear on the skin and delicious slightly charred veggies. The serving was almost American in terms of size, but much more tasty than most American preparations. For dessert, I had a chocolate mouse with a layer of dark chocolate ganache as the base. It was just the right thing to end a very nice meal. I was not the only solo diner in the restaurant and there seemed to be a couple families of locals dining as well. My terrible French was not a barrier and they were quite gracious and patient as a worked to string together the correct words into a coherent sentence. If you are in the area looking for a very good and well priced meal, this may be the place for you.
