Where to eat · Senegalese / West African · € · 18e · Montmartre & Pigalle
Keur Bour Guewel
A Senegalese table in the thick of Château Rouge, working the canon — thiéboudienne, yassa, mafé — at a flat dozen euros a plate. From the evening it tips toward dibi and grilled meat, and the room stays open absurdly late.
Come after 5:30pm for the dibi; daytime is rice-and-fish territory. Cash-friendly, with a terrace.

- Théâtre des Bouffes du NordTheatre (Peter Brook's house)€€ · 8 minPeter Brook took over this gutted 1876 hall in 1974 and left the scorched, peeling pink-red walls exactly as he found them; it has staged theatre, opera and chamber music in the round ever since, with no proscenium grandeur.
- Le Louxor — Palais du CinémaHistoric arthouse cinema€ · 11 minA 1921 cinema dressed as an Egyptian temple — gilded mosaics, pharaonic heads on the facade — that spent decades as a clothing shop and a nightclub before a 2013 restoration. Three screens of art-et-essai programming.
- Krishna BhavanSouth Indian (vegetarian)€ · 11 minStrictly vegetarian Tamil cooking on the Sri Lankan-Indian stretch of La Chapelle: paper-thin dosas the length of your forearm, thalis served in steel, chai in metal cups. Loud, fast, and priced so low it embarrasses the rest of the city.
The district · 18e
Montmartre & Pigalle — The butteSacré-Cœur and the artists' square up top; the back-streets of Abbesses and Lamarck below; Pigalle's neon and the Saint-Ouen flea market at the edge. Steep, photogenic, and busiest where the tour groups cluster.
Best for: View-chasers and night-owls who'll climb for it; pick the quieter north side.
