Café des Deux Moulins

18th arrondissement of Paris

Price: No ticket — order from the menu

Opening hours (indicative): Paid entry: usually 10am – 6pm · Check seasonal hours

At 15 Rue Lepic, on the corner of Rue Cauchois, Café des Deux Moulins is a neighbourhood brasserie in Montmartre that became world-famous through Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie (2001). Amélie, played by Audrey Tautou, works here as a waitress among regulars with unforgettable quirks.

The café was filmed on location and is still a working business: you come in for a coffee or a meal, not for a tour. The tobacco counter seen in the film has gone, but the bar atmosphere and banquettes still draw film lovers. Tip: come mid-afternoon, outside meal times, and photograph the façade from the opposite pavement.
