A tart counter on Rue Lepic
Les Petits Mitrons is an independent pastry shop on Rue Lepic, in Pigalle, near the climb up to Sacré-Cœur. It is a small room with a counter and two chairs set out on the sidewalk for anyone who wants to eat there.
The tarts are why you come. The plum tart carries fresh plum flavour over a smooth custard. The lemon tart has a meringue top. On the savoury side, the quiche Lorraine holds its crust even after a walk.
Cookies are the other thing to buy: chocolate chip and caramel. Croissants and viennoiseries sit alongside, and a large frangipane galette for six people costs 24 euros. The two sidewalk chairs are the only place to sit.
Prices sit below what the rest of the hill asks. A dessert is around 4.50 euros, and the lemon tart is priced reasonably for what it is. Come early in the morning if you want the full range out; the shop opens at 7 am on weekdays and 8 am at the weekend, and it is closed on Wednesdays, so plan around that.
If you want a single tart to eat in the park by Sacré-Cœur, or a bag of cookies for the train, this is the stop.

Plum tart
Fresh plum over smooth custard, on a crust with a caramelised sugar base.

Plum tart
The plum flavor is really fresh and the custard is so smooth, and the crust on this one had a sort of caramelized sugar base.

Buttery croissants are worth ordering.

The savoury counter is the draw, and the quiche Lorraine is the best one tasted.
Pear and chocolate tart
A long-standing order for regulars.
Who is this for
Anyone heading up to Sacré-Cœur who wants something to eat in the park nearby. It also suits a traveler who wants a small, independent counter rather than a sit-down café, with two sidewalk chairs as the only seating. And if you are buying something sweet to take home, the cookies and the galette for six are the picks.
The verdict
It suits a single tart or a bag of cookies.
