2 nights in Paris - dinner

Auberge Bressane has lovely dessert souffles; don't know about savory ones. (we did find Le Soufle which specializes in soufle meals to be not very good). My favorite souffle in Paris is the Grand Marnier one at Chez Dumonet.

Our favorite place for a tasting menu is L'Initial; we have never had a disappointing meal with them.

Janet, thanks!

Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s any main courses for me to eat at Auberge Bressane - they all have mushrooms, or there’s frog legs, kidneys, pigeons…I love traditional French, just not thus much, lol

My niece said she loved Le Petite Lutetia, and that seems to get good reviews…

Josephine Chez Dumonet looks good, too

I may or may not want to go for. Michelin 1 star to end my stay…

Soo many restaurants, not enough time, lol

Thanks!

Perhaps you should consider L'Orangerie & Auberge de la Reine Blanche which is on the main street of the Ile Saint-Louis. There is also St. Regis the same street which has a great breakfast for just a little money. We also had a small plate of cold cuts and wine one evening and it felt very french.

I love Récamier. We were there a few weeks ago and it was still as good as every other time I've been.

chez Dumonet has traditional French bistro food -- their boeuf bourguignon is the best we have had (they also serve half portions which are ample). We just had it with friends a month ago and topped the meal with Grand Marnier soufles. Their duck confit is also good.

TC - I looked at all 3 websites, and they all look good!

I think when I arrive in the morning/early afternoon, I’m going to want lunch, so I could go to any of them at that time. Do they have outdoor seating?

Thank you!!

Kim, yay! What did you have?

Oh I’m so excited - I can taste a soufflé in my mouth now, lol

Thanks!

Janet, my mouth is watering!

So that’s a go - a definite.

One night, Josephine…another night Le Recamier

I might go to Paul Bert for lunch the day I leave (I was there a few years ago). …not sure

Thank you!!!

Betsy -- St. Regis does has a limited amount of outdoor seating. Forgot to mention, but also on the main street near St. Regis is Cafe Med (I think I remember the name correctly) that is good for lunch. If you go to google maps and play around with street view, you can check out the locations before leaving home.

TC, I checked out the menus that someone had posted (photos, as the cafe has no website), and Cafe Med looks great - it might be the perfect place to have lunch once I check into the hotel

I’ll check out Google maps!

Thank you!!

Betsy, Also forgot to mention (one of those days) that Berthillon also has a location on the island.

TC, I know - the original! I’ve been dreaming about it - and Paris- for decades, since I first tasted it,

I plan to eat their ice cream more than once every day, lol

I changed my booking - now I’ll be in Paris for 5 full days, so more time to try out interesting restaurants ‘
