Although this restaurant is in an extremely touristy area, it manages to maintain its Parisian identity. The food is delicious with good value prix fixe menus. The interior is really quirky with bric-a-brac all over the walls and teeny tables arranged throughout, and the lighting is lovely.
A good mix of Parisians and tourists inside and friendly, efficient service; unfortunately a bus accident earlier in the weekend had left me with a black eye and my partner with arm in a sling but we got no stares or whispers and were treated very gently. Not too pricy either.
A bonus is a lovely walk up Montmartre afterwards to work off those calories.
33, Rue Lepic (18e arrondissement); just up the road from the Moulin Rouge. If the Moulin is on your left, take the first left up the hill and the road parallel is the Rue Lepic. Turn left again and Le Basilic is on the corner in front of you, where two roads split
