About
Located in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements, this charming pedestrian street is filled with bistros, boulangeries, and a trove of must-try foods. As one of Paris' permanent market streets, Rue Montorgueil is also lined with shops selling high-quality local produce such as cheese, bread, and fruits. Don't forget to visit Stohrer, the oldest patisserie in Paris which was established in 1730. For time-pressed travelers, a tasting tour of this renowned street is highly recommended. Otherwise, it’s also easy to navigate independently at your own pace.
Most shops will close on certain days, so check the opening hours beforehand to avoid disappointment. – Tripadvisor

The area
Address
Neighborhood: Les Halles
Historically the central iron-clad market of Paris, Les Halles has evolved architecturally since then but the pulsating energy has stayed the same. Now it houses the main shopping mall, which nestles underground surrounded by fast-food take-aways and international restaurants coupled with beautiful churches and the old commodity exchange. Parallel to it are the high-street stores of Rue de Rivoli and just parallel to that the Seine. The area bustles with faces from all continents and all ages at all times of the day. If enjoying high-street shopping with easy access to fast eateries and lively bars is on your agenda, this is the place to go.

- Ruby RedGreensburg, Pennsylvania638 contributionsGreat Area for a VisitWe went to this area to visit the Stohrer and found the street and area to be really nice. There are a lot of great looking restaurants, patisseries, shops and other stores. It would be a great place to go to visit and spend some time and have a nice drink and/or meal at one of the cafes. Worth a visit.Visited April 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten April 21, 2023

So many specialty shops as well as your basic grocery stores. We went in the evening so a few shops were closed but the bars and restaurants were busy and sidewalks were full of people standing around with a drink in hand.

Not overwhelmingly impressed, but a nice little pedestrian street with a few nice food shops. Nothing special, but much better than Mouffetard…

Wonderful street full of good shopping and really good variety of reasonably priced restaurants. We ate at L’escargot, which was fabulous traditional French cuisine and a beautiful setting. Also, an Italian restaurant, Petit Bao, newly renovated inside and a nice atmosphere. Food was very good, inexpensive and quick.

Si vous voulez découvrir la rue Montorgueil, faites uniquement une bonne balade, car c’est un musée vivant au cœur de Paris. Cette rue est pittoresque, incontournable et doit être vue.
Personnellement, je considère qu’il faut l’éviter à cause des commerces, bars, restaurants et surtout des gens qui y travaillent.
La rue Montorgueil est belle et très agréable à voir. Mais les commerçants sont désagréables et n'ont aucun sens des relations humaines! Les affaires sont les affaires ici! Les clients ne sont qu’un portefeuille à plumer!
Montorgueil, c'est l'industrie! Allez y mais ne mangez pas, ne buvez rien, sauf si vous mourrez de soif.
Exemples de mauvaise expérience:
1.Le restaurant "La Perla" n'a pas ouvert la bouteille de Coca-Cola devant nous. Notre bouteille a été servie à notre table déjà ouverte: la serveuse a fait semblant de l'ouvrir, mais elle cachait le haut de la bouteille avec un faux geste d’ouverture!
Puis, n’ayant pas encore fini le dernier spaghetti de ton plat, le voilà le serveur «Marco» qui veut te prendre ton assiette et il veut que tu commandes le dessert tout de suite, sans attendre. Il mettent la pression, et le moment que vous passez et le repas ne sont plus agréables.
2.Tabac, il y a 2 tabacs, tous les deux très hostiles, une vraie bureaucratie! Vous devez parler efficacement et en temps opportun. Ils n'ont pas le temps de comprendre votre anglais, car ils ne parlent pas anglais, et ni votre français d’ailleurs. Vous avez juste impression que vous les importunez.
3. Restaurant Caldo Freddo: il vaut mieux prendre une pizza à emporter dans votre chambre, que de vous asseoir à cette pizzeria. J'ai commandé une pizza + un verre de vin. Mais ils ne servaient que des bouteilles. D'accord, j'ai accepté la procédure et payé une pizza + une bouteille de vin pour une 1 personne.
Il faisait 40° C. La serveuse ne voulait pas m’apporter de l’eau du robinet. Incroyable, sachant que même un restaurant 5 étoiles vous apporte de l’eau.
Ma deuxième expérience au restaurant Caldo Freddo a également inadmissible.
Le caissier surfacture de 2 EUR ma pizza à emporter. Je le questionne pourquoi ces 2 EUR supplémentaires. Il me répond, mais parce que vous prenez à emporter et que vous devez payer la boite d’emballage à emporter. En France, normalement on facture une supplément lorsqu’on s’assoit aux table du restaurant, mais pas lorsqu’on achète à emporter. Arrivistes !
Pourquoi ces commerçants agissent-ils de la même manière arrogante dans toute la rue Montorgueil? Parce qu'ils ne vous reverront plus et ils ne veulent pas que vous reveniez là-bas. Le chiffre d'affaire est le must!
Arrêtez vous au resto du n°58. Les gérants et le personnel sont sympas.
saberia me dizer o metro mais proximo ?

I will be traveling in November with my Mom who I will be pushing in a fold-up wheelchair (12” rear wheels). We arrive on a Wednesday around 2pm on the Eurostar and are considering going to Rue Montorgueil to walk around and get lunch. We are then heading to the Louvre. Is there another similar location that might work better on the way to the Louvre for a wheelchair? She is able to get out and walk short distances and up/down a few steps. Will the walking route from Rue Montorgueil to Louvre work for a wheelchair (ex: not hilly)? How successful might we be at hailing a taxi from the market area? I don’t see any good backup bus routes. The rest of our plan is Louvre to Champs Elysees area hotel (taxi or bus 72 to 73). Next day: taxi or Bus 73 to 62 Notre Dame, Then taxi or Bus 27 to 72 to Eiffel Tower, noon lunch at Restaurant 58 (Mom’s request) then Bateaux Parisians Seine cruise. Bus 42 back to Gare du Nord for Eurostar return trip @ 7:15pm. Does this all seem reasonable pushing a wheelchair in November? Are there better bus routes that I'm not finding? Should we just plan on all buses with the transfers or will we have a chance at finding a Taxi? Thank you.

streets can be navigated by wheel chair with some planning. Rue Montorgueil to Louvre is almost flat. There might be few steps to walk up and down the stairs because wheel chair ramps are not located is most places. The distance is about 1 mile.
I think you have too many locations to cover in a short time. Pace slowly to enjoy and not get too tired of walking / moving wheel chair etc.

Hello,
This is my 1st trip to Paris (58 years old) and I'd like to stay in this area as it looks so Parisian and I love food.
Since you've stayed 3 times can you share the Apartment rental information?
Do you think this area is better than the left bank or St. Germain des Pres?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We've had success in renting from Home Away. I highly recommend the area around Rue Montorgueil, which is in the Second Arrondissement for foodies. Better central location and less expensive than St. Germain.

Bonjour,
Je cherche des rues pittoresques et pietonnes a Paris qui serviraient de point centrale pendant un sejour d'une semaine.
J'ai vu les commentaires sur Rue Montorgueil. Auriez-vous d'autres suggestions du meme genre? Mon but serait de trouver un logement dans un coin de charme (sans trop de voitures) avec boutiques artisanales/originales, ou je peux eviter les attrapes touristes.
Merci d'avance

Bonjour anwg1
Dans Paris vous avez différents endroits superbes, vous avez le 6eme Arrondissement, pleins de commerçants et de boutiques et de petits restaurants symphatiques... Pour ce qui concerne le logement , essayez de prendre une location de logement ou chez l'habitant... cela serait moins coûteux.

One of our classmates who is French took us to this street this afternoon...as we are studying at Le Cordon Bleu, so this area is a heaven for us as it has so many big shops. where we can find bakery items and even a bookstore named Gourmande where only the gastronomic books are sold...will come back this place next week!

The bookstore is at 92-96 Rue Montmartre and is called Librarie Gourmande. Wonderful place.
As for bakery items, suggest that if the large department stores aren't enough, they do have quite a range of speciality stores such as A. Simon at 48 and 52 rue Montmartre or La Bovida at 36 rue Montmartre or Mora at 13 rue Montmartre or Deco Relief at 6 rue Montmartre [seeing a theme here . . . all in the same Rue!!]. Enjoy

I was wondering if you could tell me how you booked your apartment. Any details you could give me would be appreciated. I am interested in doing the same thing but I must admit having to pay everything up front is scary especially when one hers so much about scams regarding apt. rentals.
