Is Pink Mamma the most Instagrammable restaurant in Paris?

The Pink Mamma restaurant in Paris is seriously Insta-famous.

So I’ve officially dined at Pink Mamma in Paris TWICE – so I have the full authority on telling you the full scoop on visiting.

The first time we visited was a few years ago back in 2019! It was pretty soon after it had opened. It used to be crazy difficult to get a table and you’d be queuing up around the corner in the hopes that you’d be lucky enough to get a table at the top of the restaurant.

A few years on from our first visit to this beautiful restaurant, I decided to book in on our recent trip back to Paris to see if it still lives up to the hype from back when it first opened.

Because Pink Mamma is the place to be… and to take a photo in Paris.

What kind of food is at Pink Mamma?

Pink Mamma serves up delicious Italian cuisine in the heart of Pigelle.

Where is Pink Mamma located in Paris?

Located in Pigelle, you can find it on the border between the 9th and the 18th arrondissements.

It’s a great stop along the way up or back down from Montmartre.

The building is five stories high and well, it’s pink. You really can’t miss it.

UPDATED: Book your table reservation in advance

Many moons ago, they didn’t take reservations at Pink Mamma. It used to be first come, first serve in the queue.

Now? Luckily you can book your spot well in advance!

If you’d like to ensure you’re dining at the top of the restaurant for lunch hours, make sure you’re booking the 12pm slot. And I’d get there about 5-10 minutes early.

I booked in for 12pm. We arrived a few minutes before 12pm to find a queue already at the door.

BUT there are two lines, one for reservations and one for walk-ins. Make sure you are the kind of person who has a reservation so you’re not disappointed!

Once in, they walk you up ALL the stairs to the top floor.

THIS is the shot to get on the stairs. You know the one.

The rooftop level is bright, full of light and oh so much colour. It’s whimsy but elegant. And it’s precisely how I’d love to decorate a patio at my future manor and/or castle. It’s so pretty!

What to order at Pink Mamma ⬇️

It’s such a beautiful space that it seems only right to make the most of your time there.

So go on and order a starter!

On our last visit we tried the Burrata di Salvatore. A perfectly round ball of burrata cheese with and chopped anchovies, aubergines and a dash of salad. It was creamy and the anchovies gave the perfect amount of added salt to the dish.

On our most recent visit, it was during a European heatwave so we didn’t bother with starters as our appetites weren’t really existent.

The last time we visited I ordered the truffle pasta – it was always going to be a repeat for me!

It’s creamy, flavourful and actually an ideal portion size.

I’m also contemplating buying these serving dishes because they are dreamy. Would 10/10 recommend ordering this dish. Loved it.

More things to do in Paris:

On our last visit, Joe picked a classic Joe choice, the margarita pizza. I’ve left the photos in to show you – but upon THIS trip, clearly years later he is more adventurous food wise.

He ordered a grilled fish dish and I am SO sorry I can’t tell you the name of it because it’s not on their online menu. Maybe it was on a specials list? Either way – the grilled fish was FANTASTIC.

Honestly order it! We ended up splitting our dishes equally. I also ordered a small green salad to share.

So, is it worth it?

All in all, Pink Mamma’s rooftop is undoubtedly, one of the most Instagrammable restaurant locations in Paris.

Yes, it’s worth it.

The food is super pretty, delicious and well priced. And now that they take reservations, it’s easier than ever to plan a visit.

But also, if you don’t make reservations but just want to pop in – I’d recommend it! The restaurant spans several floors!

There’s a pink bar room a level down, and seats on the ground floor.

If you can’t guess from this post, I’d have to say Pink Mamma is definitely one of the most Instagrammable restaurants in Paris.

And on the whole, definitely worth the hype.
