Good Food in Montmartre? - No Way..But Now...a Resounding YES! LE COQ RICO

Montmartre ( in my humble opinion) has never been known for great food or restaurants..that said, I can know report that Antonie Westermann ( one of my favorite chefs - Droument) has opened a fantastic restaurant( ( open, mind you 7 days a week) whose menu is only based on a single-ingredient - Poultry! meaning - Chicken, guinea fowl ( my favorite always), duck and pigeon and each one comes with its own pedigree and the name of the farmer - how fresh is that? . He uses all parts of those tender birds, including kidneys, hearts , wings and livers ( the stuff you usually toss away at home.)

The restaurant is cozy, bright and modern and you can sit at the counter or in one or two of the small dining rooms.
The Challans farm raised chicken is a wonder
THIS PLACE IS HOT AND RESERVATIONS ARE A MUST. 
Note: Please, please don't be an American and ask for things on the side or cooked without! If so, please don't come!
