La Réserve de Quasimodo

My favorite place in Paris. I’ve been going there for the past 10 years every other months and Christian is still there — happy to serve and prepare in front of our eyes.
The location is exceptional and the place is supposed to be the oldest restaurant standing ! Indeed — located at the heart of the Ile de la cite. Next to Notte Dame — people were having food at the same location over 900 years ago !

OMG! Fantastic place. Beware, the cheese plate size is extremely large. Great food and friendly staff.

Here’s what you need to know,
This was great:
* Great concept ! The restaurant is also a wine cellar, which you can use for choosing your wine for your lunch/​diner,
* Great copious food (Especially the «tartines» and the «salades»),
* The «fondue bourguignonne» is amazing,
* The staff is really friendly,
* The place is filled with history, as its origin can be traced back to the 13^th century.
To sum up: Do not miss this place. Really, just don’t.

Probably my favourite restaurant during my week in Paris. It’s a small place near Notre Dame owned by a husband and wife. One of them came over to us to explain their menu and the different options we could get. I decided on the cod in creamy sorrel sauce and my girlfriend got the smoked salmon and spinach pie. Both were great, but the best part of the meal was the bread pudding with wine jam that we ordered for dessert. The wife told us that the recipe for the jam was made in-​house by the chef who experimented with a few herbs and spices that she at first found doubtful, but very quickly fell in love with (as did we). I’d definitely recommend it.
What makes this experience five-​star worthy though was the atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and talkative that I could relax and unwind from a pretty exhausting day. At the other Parisian restaurants we visited, the customers kept to themselves, without much interaction with the staff. Here, I was talking to the tables beside me, and it was actually another couple that suggested we get the bread pudding.
Thoroughly enjoyed and wish I could go back.
P. S. The wife speaks fluent French (obvously), English, Spanish (wow), and some Chinese (standing ovation right here)

Caveman brought his cavewomen to Paris for our 20^th. This was a nice little restaurant in the middle of the tourist-​crazy isle de la city. Great staff and good grub.
Definitely try the meat fondue. The local guy at the next table had it. It smelt great. I had the coq au vin.

A nice little café/​wine shop in the heart of Paris. Not bad, and very handy.
We had onion soup and charcuterie. Both were fine, nothing outstanding. Dessert was, though: orange sorbet with orange slices and Grand Marnier.
The wine cave looked good.

A votre santé !
Excellent choix de vins à emporter ou à consommer sur place. Toutes les plus belles régions viticoles de France sont représentées. Les vins s’étendent sur une gamme assez large: du petit vin de table à 10 € au grand crus classé à 70 € la bouteille. De très grandes surprises, laissez-​vous tenter! Pour accompagner votre bouteille, la maison propose un petite restauration de tartines et salades bien copieuses. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable en plein cœur de l’ile de la cité.

Un très bon moment
Excellent moment à savourer. Cette petite adresse bien cachée sur l’ile de la cité vaut bien une halte. Les vins sont excellents, le rapport qualité-​prix très bons, la cuisine ouverte sur la salle donne une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale. Le service très sympathique et rapide. Bön moment, nous y retournerons.

Bön petit resto-​cave à vin près de Notre-​Dame
Tartines à prix correct. Le gros attrait réside dans le choix des vins et leur prix: pour la majorité d’entre eux, la politique de la maison est le prix de cave + 6 euros (pour le service). Nous y reviendrons sans doute.

De tres bon produits (a tester: les tartines de cou d’oie farcie, la tartine épinard/​œuf brouille/​saumon et en dessert le Pudding!!!)
Le proprio est super sympa.
Super cave a vin et spiritueux.

This was a pretty cool place to stop by for a quick morning snack while touring. It wasn’t very crowded and the morning breads were very good.

Un magnifique restaurant gastronomique pour des rencontres en tête à tête à petit prix
Un restaurant peu visible, mais avec un charme typiquement parisien, idéal pour passer un bon moment sans délier sa bourse.
