Nestled in the charming streets of Montrouge, Le Schmilblick is more than just a café; it’s a haven for culture and community. A cultural and solidarity café, it offers a delightful blend of homemade dishes and a warm, inviting atmosphere that keeps patrons coming back.

At Le Schmilblick, you can savor a variety of delicious, homemade meals crafted with organic vegetables. For just €9, indulge in their daily specials, including the much-loved Plat du jour maison.

Espace très convivial, peu cher. J'y ai retrouvé une ambiance du café de quartier telle que celle des cafés lieu de vie des villages du sud ouest, et c'est un vrai compliment

We have a very nice moment every time we go to the Schmilblick Café, this place is managed by volunteer people and they do everything they can to make you feel home. Check on their agenda as they always organise cool activities and events.

We just walked and walked and stumbled on to this cafe. We didn't get any food but we did get some tea and a beer. Why the high rating. Because of the hospitality. 100 percent nice. Very warming and kind people that volunteer their time. What a place to slow your pace even for a few minutes. Loved it. Thank you from Texas.
