It%26#39;s a pretty cool resto on the Island of Saint-Louis, in the Seine.





They have a fixed menu for 35��� and last time I checked it included all-you-can-drink wine :)

thanks for your help.do you recommend it?




|||



Hmmm, it%26#39;s a great location on the island and the food isn%26#39;t too bad but not exactly haute cuisine. Their menu at 35��� is





Salted meats



Cold meats



Mixed salads





Choice of grill



Beef or lamb kebab



Rib steak



Slice of leg of lamb



Lamb chops





Vegetables



Rice in a sauce







The whole point of the place is that you eat like you would have 2000 years ago :)







It%26#39;s a little too touristy for me at times when groups of 15+ people eat there but the whole point of the place is that you spend an entire evening there and maybe get to know other people that you meet there. (it%26#39;s open until 2am).





It%26#39;s been open for over 45 years so I guess it must work !

Quite fun, not a bad food, nothing extarordinary though. Perfect if you are a large group, and want to have dinner in a festive ambiance.





I prefered it when i was 20 tho :)

We just went there on our first trip. It was an experience, the wine was not very good but for 35 euros, one cannot expect much. The kebobs we both got were good, I got beef, my boyfriend got lamb. We were in a room with a large group of rowdy Danes. We sat next to a nice German couple who%26#39;s been there before and they walked us through. There is live music. Very lively but not an intimate place for a romantic evening. Dinner took about 3 hours. We enjoyed it but would not go back, it was a fun experience though.

My two favorite Gaulois, Asterix %26amp; Obelix, always seemed to be eating les sangliers. The restaurant should serve that, too! ;)




|||



If you want to eat boar (sanglier) or any other kind of game in season in Paris, Le Petit Marguery on the blvd du Port Royal (Metro Gobelins) is wonderful...

Actually DesAlpes, it appears that Asterix and Obelix shouldn%26#39;t be eating boar anyway, as the Gauls ate mostly pigs!
