We are a party of 5 from the US visiting Paris for a few days. Selected this restaurant based on reviews and this restaurant was great. Our waiter was friendly and super efficient. We a tried different entrees and each one was delicious. Prices were somewhat reasonable and a good value for the quality of the food. Would highly recommend to give it a try.

Île Saint-Louis - Notre-Dame

About the restaurant

A TEAM OF RESTAURANT PASSIONATES.

A true institution of Ile-Saint-Louis, Les Fous experienced a second youth in 2008 who knew how to infuse their sense of cool and relaxed hospitality into this century-old address which has more than a trick up his sleeve to seduce you.

Those who go through fashions and seasons without batting an eyelid and who never disappoint. Same generosity on the wine side with a menu as rich as it is well sourced. Placing conviviality at the heart of its selection, the team made the bold bet of large containers with, rare, a beautiful choice of magnums and Jeroboam: festive bottles predestined for large tables.
