About Montparnasse Cafe

Montparnasse Cafe sits on a quiet Kensington street near the square gardens, bringing proper French café culture to a neighbourhood crowd that returns weekly for the croissants and galettes. Families settle into the cosy Parisian-style interior or claim outdoor tables with highchairs and room for buggies, often lingering over eggs Benedict, croque madame, or the tomato mushroom spinach galette. The pastries — pain au chocolat, strawberry tarts, raspberry tart, come fresh from the kitchen and regularly earn comparisons to Paris. Reviewers praise staff like Nazim, Hussein, Selma, and Riad for warm service. "There is honestly no place like this one," one regular writes after countless visits. The no-laptop policy makes it a proper sit-down spot for catching up rather than rushing through, and the chicken sandwich baguette converts even non-sandwich people. Come Sunday morning for coffee in rustic cups and a crunchy croissant with sun on your face.
