The Islands: Ile St-Louis and Ile de la Cité

Ile St-Louis

Fodor’s Choice | Mon Vieil Ami.

$$ | MODERN FRENCH | “Modern Alsatian” might sound like an oxymoron, but once you’ve tasted the food here, you’ll understand. The updated medieval dining room—stone walls and dark-wood tables—provides a stylish milieu for the inventive cooking orchestrated by star Alsatian chef Antoine Westermann, which showcases heirloom vegetables (such as yellow carrots and pink-and-white beets) from star producer Joël Thiébault. Pâté en croûte (wrapped in pastry) with a knob of foie gras is hard to resist among the starters. Among the mains, red mullet might come in a bouillabaisse sauce with sautéed baby artichokes, and the shoulder of lamb with white beans, preserved lemon, and cilantro has become a classic. This is not necessarily the place for a romantic dinner, since seating is a little tight, but the quality of the food never falters, and the portions are quite generous. Call during opening hours (11:30–2:30 and 7–11) to book, since they don’t answer the phone the rest of the time. | Average main: €23 | 69 rue St-Louis-en-l’Ile, 4e, Ile St-Louis | 75004 | 01–40–46–01–35 | www.mon-vieil-ami.com | Closed Mon., Tues., 3 wks in Aug., and 3 wks in Jan. | Station: Pont Marie.
