A yellow fronted, big-windowed pub conversion with solid bare-top tables, Le Montmartre is the type of unfussy, atmospheric bistro every neighbourhood ought to be blessed with. Luxury and pomp are shooed away to clear the path for delicious, regional French food at decent prices. If your mouth waters at the thought of simply cooked French classics, youÂ’ve come to the right place. Frogs legs and snails in garlic butter; Toulouse sausages in red wine; entrecote steak in a wild mushroom sauce with chips; crepesÂ… Heaven is another countryÂ’s national dishes. Monday to Friday lunchtimes a prix fixe menu costs just £5.50 for two courses, while mussels, chips and half a beer are £7.50. They do a fab Sunday roast with all the trimmings too.
