This is a family run restaurant that has a friendly atmosphere
yet is not that well known due to it being situated on a back street on the Ile de la Cite
where there are lots of very old buildings, but it is only a street behind the Notre Dame Cathedral and is a great place to relax
after you have visited this famous Paris monument.
At the Au Vieux Paris you will be able to experience very typical and traditional French
cuisine with seasonal specialities and they also provide ingredients from the farms in the
Aveyron area in the South of France for classic dishes such as duck breast a l'orange,
snails with garlic butter, pan-fried foie gras and boeuf bourguignon, which is one of
their specialities and is basically beef cooked in a red wine sauce.
Now when it comes to the wine, this is an unusual concept
compared to most of the restaurants in Paris,
as they invite you down to the cellar in order to choose the bottle you desire, but they
are also very helpful at selecting one that would pair well with your food.
But after a meal, you need to walk along the River Seine to
get back to whatever Paris hotel you are staying at, which can also be very romantic, yet
if you decide to have an early evening meal, you may even have time to do some cruising on
the River Seine in one of the tour boats such as the Bateau Mouches, which is a great experience
when the city and its famous landmarks are all lit
up at night.

There is no particular dress code and although it is suitable for all the family, you will
find the Au Vieux Paris restaurant is a venue more
for couples and although reservations are not essential it is recommended that you book,
especially for an evening meal.
Also, located in the 4th Arrondissement of Paris on
the island called the Ile de la Cite in the middle of the River Seine you either get there
via bridge such as the Pont Neuf or you need the Metro station called the Cit?.
