Dining on I'le St. Louis- Help needed!

I am trying to decide between several restaurants on I%26#39;le St. Louis for my group of moms and girls next week. With the every plunging dollar, my first choice may be getting too expensive.

I inquired of Le Tastevin. The owner, Annick, could not be kinder. The menu that best meets the taste of our group is 48 euros per person. I e-mailed to find out if this includes wine but she has not yet responded. If it does, this may not be a bad value.

I am also thinking of Le Caveau de l%26#39;isle. I love the basement area (the caves) and think it would be a charming, unique experience for all of us. How is the food at this restaurant? The menu is 25 euros which sound like an excellent value. Also, the e-mail address on the website does not seem to work.

I loved Auberge de la Reine Blanche when I visited in January, but they are not open on the night we are visiting that area.

Does anyone have any opinions on these two restaurants? Other suggestions? Thanks, Moms

Mon vieil ami is the best restaurant on the ile saint Louis.

|||

I second Mon Viel Ami.

|||

Thanks for this recommendation but I understand they may not be able to handle the size of our group. I%26#39;m waiting to hear back from them.

Does anyone have any knowledge of Le Caveau de l%26#39;isle?

Thanks, Moms

re the Caveau have had dinner there. The space is great. I thought the food was OK. It would be a good venue for a get together but it is a shame it couldnt be catered by another restaurant.

I enjoyed Le Tastevin in October, we had a reservation for 4 of us but our friends arrived late, pas de problem! Staff was friendly, food was quite good, we had a lovely meal.

|||

was in Paris early February and had dinner at Le Tastevin. the owner and staff are very nice, choice the 30 euros menu. definitely very French...

|||

If these do not work out, try the Brasserie D%26#39;Ile St Louis. They serve good cassolet and charcrut, etc.

We spent 66.78 euros for a meal there, one appitizer and two plates and a bottle of wine.

Both on the Ile St Louis. I have given you the websites and leave you to make up your own opinion of whether one/other will suit you or not.

The food at both is %26#39;decent%26#39; but not %26#39;gastronomic%26#39;. Unlimited wine is included (as you have asked about this). The restaurants are %26#39;fun%26#39; but are not places that all would choose to eat. I am female, and I like them both for different reasons and particular occasions, but they are not particularly %26#39;girly%26#39; places for the Mums %26amp; Daughters.

%26gt;%26gt;I understand they may not be able to handle the size of our group.

Mon Vieil Ami was able to accommodate our group of 10 for dinner a few months ago. They did ask us to reserve for an early time - 7:30, I believe. There was another group of 12 there at the same time. The 3-course prix fixe menu was about €38, excluding wine.

Mon Vieil Ami is superb and around the same price as the one you quoted. If you can get in there, I would triple the recommendation.

What%26#39;s more, it isn%26#39;t a touristy restaurant, which is nice. But it is close quarters...
