L'Îlot Vache

"The idyllic Île Saint-Louis is less than half a mile in length and full of old Paris charm- this island in the Seine remains largely residential and serves as a refreshing calm in the midst of the hustle and bustle of city center. The name “L’Îlot Vache” translates to “The Island Cow” and is a nod to the island’s history as originally serving as a cow grazing pasture and offers an excellent 3 course set menu that focuses on meat-centric French classics with a twist. Their scallops (noix de saint jacques) in pomegranate sauce is one of my favorite dishes in all of Paris! The owner and wait staff are knowledgeable and friendly and know many of the island locals, some of whom you will undoubtedly be sitting next to."
