As pleasant as my apartment is, I live in the middle of tourist hell
just behind Notre Dame. So I'm generally suspcious of the restaurants
a short walk from my place. But there are a few gems here, including
Le
Brasserie de l'Île St. Louis. It's a 135+ year old Alsatian
brasserie right on the island, just to the left from the bridge from
Cité. And it's a lovely casual little brasserie, lots of hearty
portions of sauerkraut and cured pork and the like. Lunch today was
some lovely slices of roast veal served alongside cauliflower au
gratin. Nothing subtle, but made with care, cheap, and delicious.
