This is a lovely little bistrot in the Ile Saint Louis which so many visitors miss. We'd walked all the way from the Place de l'Opera and by the time we reached the island we were starving. Parisian food is very variable but this restaurant has an interesting, imaginative take on the bistrot staples such as confit de canard and boeuf bourginon. All the food is beautifully prepared and the service is friendly and helpful.
69 Rue St Louis en l'Ile. Metro: Pont Marie. Tel: + 33 (0) 1 40 46 01 35
