Sacre-Coeur is on top the Buttes-Montmartre. The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is
on top of the Buttes-Chaumont. Different buttes in a different part of town.


"Near the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont" may help to explain it: when the Pope and I visited Paris on the same week-end in May of 1979(?), our group got non-existent service from a restaurant at the foot of the Butte: all the staff, it seems, had gone up the hill to mass with the Pope at Sacré-Coeur! That and other disasters lead to the end of a very warm relationship...

My experience in France (probably applies everywhere in
fact) was to
only go in those restaurants where there is barely a table
to be had,
and the clientele are all locals.
Worked a treat in China, Vietnam and Hong Kong: not so well
in Egypt,
where I found I did not really like much of the food anyway.

Not foolproof though. I was the 2nd person in here at lunchtime, but by the time I'd finished it was packed:
