Le Sancerre

It’s official: Le Sancerre, a once popular rock bar that attracted everyone from alcohol-fuelled transvestites to tourists and local bobos, has cleaned up its act. Gone forever is the cheap beer and trashy music. Instead you’ll find a buzzing 1930’s style café with traditional fare and bourgeois punters who fight for a spot on the terrace. Fans of its former incarnation will undoubtedly be disappointed, but time moves on, and today’s Sancerre is far more suited to Montmartre’s yuppie residents. If you’re in the area, pop by for a glass of chardonnay and the Sancerre’s special triple burgers (filled respectively with guacamole, cheddar and bacon) – possibly the only thing not to have changed.
