Le Tournebièvre

On the banks of the Seine, just across from Ile de la Cité and within easy reach of Paris’ most celebrated landmarks, is Le Tournebièvre restaurant. The first thing that strikes you is the breathtaking view across the river; but it's the classic French bistro cuisine that makes this place a hit with locals, even in such an overtly touristy part of town. The simple bistro interior is accompanied, in the summer months, with pavement dining under a wide, shady awning. The traditional French menu is created using fine, seasonal ingredients, with a wide choice for all tastes. And, sacre bleu, the service at Le Tournebièvre is both professional and genuinely friendly.
