Paris Breaks – Café des 2 Moulins

Paris Breaks – Café des 2 Moulins

A point of interest for film buffs on Paris breaks, this is the cafe where Amélie worked as a waitress. The Café des Deux Moulins. The musty atmosphere, with its 1950s decor, mustard-colored ceiling, and lace curtains, has been preserved — even the wall lamps and unisex toilet.

The menu remains much the same:

* escalopes of veal in a cream sauce,
* beef filets,
* calf’s liver,
* green frisée salad with bacon bits and warm goat cheese,
* pigs’ brains with lentils.

The Café des 2 Moulins (French for “Two Windmills”) is a café in the Montmartre area of Paris, located at the junction of Rue Lepic and Rue Cauchois. It takes its name from the two nearby historical “windmills”, Moulin Rouge and Moulin de la Galette.
