    We had a nice table near the windows. Food was better than average, although vegetarian pasta was overcooked.

    Such a cute spot- lovely little street corner in I’le St. Louis. Excellent friendly service . Food was delicious - hot honey baked chevre on mesclun was fantastic. The chocolate mousse is crazy good - I mean unbelievable (and I normally don’t even like choc mousse;)

    Fantastic food! We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful refuge in the midst of the crowds. The food was superb, as well as the wine selections. What great service! I can’t wait to return.

    We have been to L'ilot Vache many times over the past 10+ years. This cosy restaurant never disappoints. A delicious meal was served with a smile. Our server went above and beyond...we loved our evening. See you in 2026...Merci ♡

    Always a pleasant welcoming experience. They to an excellent job of giving non-locals an authentic French dining experience without the pretension and with an air of fun.

    We started coming here in 2002. It is now a favorite of not only mom and dad, but our daughter as well. L’Ilot Vache never disappoints. Food is outstanding, wine list well suited for a variety of tastes, and the restaurant is beautiful.

    This is our favourite restaurant in Paris and have dined here 3 times already. We love the location on the charming Ile Saint-Louis, the superb food (you must try the chocolate mousse), the beautiful decor but mostly the attentive, warm and friendly service. It’s. 10/10 from us, we hope to be back soon

    We love this place and return whenever we are in Paris. It’s in a charming part of the city and oozes with old style Gallic charm. The food is always delicious and the menu is extensive. Try the duck dishes and the bone marrow.

    Such slow service and on top of keeping us waiting forever, everything was wrong. There was only one girl serving the whole restaurant and she didn't seem to know what she was doing. Made the mistake of bringing friends here from out of town and it did not leave them with a good impression of Parisian service.

    We had to sit at the same table with strangers. They put a flower in between to create separation. As is customary in Paris, both the venue and the tables were very small and tables were very tightly spaced. The food was good.

    this was our 4th time to dine here. Actually had been our favorite restaurant in Paris. However 2 things happened that may prevent us from returning. I had seen videos where tips were concerned. They said it's not common to tip, service is included but you can leave a few Euro if you want. Also said if the waiter asks if you want to add a tip, then it's because you are American. The waiter asked me. second was paying my bill with a cc. I had watched the waiter process 4 other diners with no issue with the card reader. When it came to our time, he tried once and it didn't work with my Amex. Said they were having trouble with the machine. I offered a Visa since Amex isn't always accepted. He didn't even try. started telling me where to find an ATM down the street. Luckily I had cash. We are not "ugly Americans ", but for 180 € I felt a little targeted.

    I went full Bourgogne -- 12 snails, followed by boeuf -- and all was delectable. The incredible location and quirky charm of the place do not outshine the cuisine, equally memorable.

    Welcoming staff, rustic and warm ambiance, along with straightforward homemade food made this beef-centric meal memorable. Their mousse au chocolate is also wonderful.
