Alsatian chef Antoine Westermann's beloved bistro is a must for many in-the-know Parisians.

Located on the beautiful Île St.-Louis, a short walk across the bridge from Notre Dame, lies this unique and delicious bistro. Chef Antoine Westermann's menu boasts in fresh, seasonal vegetables and grade-A meat, all cooked to perfection. 

Mon Vieil Ami is a favourite destination for many a culinary and restaurant critics in Paris, and it is easy to see why. Not only is located on a historical little island in the centre of the city dating all the back to Louis XIII, and decorated with a modern vibe, but the food is simply lip smackingly good!

For starters do try the leeks mimosa with sautéed filet of mackerels and jelly shrimp and smocked haddock with horseradish. Then move over to a hearty main like shoulder of lamb confit with marjoram and arugula salad and mashed chickpeas, or the light and flavourful filet of red mullet sautéed accompanied a fine tart of shallots, and seasonal vegetable salad. 

After your meal, we recommend you walk off your calories by a scenic walk through the heart of Paris.
