10/10Welcoming staff, rustic and warm ambiance, along with straightforward homemade food made this beef-centric meal memorable. Their mousse au chocolate is also wonderful.

10/10The surroundings are beautiful, with plenty of character. We received a warm welcome from the staff, who were really friendly and efficient with our order. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. We had the set menu, which gave plenty of choice, for us onion soup and bone marrow to start, followed by Bavette of steak, Beef Bourguignon, chocolate mousse and creme brûlée. All of it delicious, complements to the chefs and waiters. Fabulous.

5.5/10Did not like the seating, in a corner with an open window, and our backs to the inside. I could have insisted on other seating so that's on me. There was a poor selection for bier. I had salmon which tasted like what I make at home. The mousse was delicisous.

10/10A friend from Texas told me this was her favorite restaurant in the WORLD so I had to try it and it was fantastic! Our Server gave us some great recommendations. We had escargot, ravioli and lamb and it was all so delicious and the service was perfect! Highly recommend!

8/10The food and atmosphere at L'llot Vache is very good. This was my second time here. The first time I was with another person and this time I was on my own. My only complaint is that as a single person I was not given the same service as the tables around me. I frequently waited much longer than other people and in the end it is why I did not order dessert. I was tired of waiting. French restaurants should treat single diners with the same service.

6.5/10The service as usual was amazing and ambiance and location super comfy and chill, but the food this time wasn't that great. I had the sole which was a sliver of fish that wasn't that great for the price. They didnt have the Duck confit which is what they are known for; the French onion soup had no salt or flavor and tasteless gruyer cheese; and the bone in steak meal my mom had was too tough. however the dessert was great Crepe Flambe..delish. I've had amazing dinners there before so I hope it's better when I go back.

8.5/10Our first night in Paris we ate here. It was the perfect welcome. Food was delish, but the service was warm, humorous and kind. We always tried to speak French, which I think they appreciated.

9/10Really nice place with a local feeling and no snobby Paris attitude, we were well received even though our party of 6 were late and missing one person. We had a delicious meal, the cote de beouf was excellent and we had delicious cheese then desserts the chocolate mousse is definitely deserving of its reputation and the crepes Suzette also good. I would definitely go back if I was in the area. Thanks for a lovely evening

10/10Always a fun place for dinner. Very French but speaking English is acceptable. Lots of great choices and all have been excellent so far. The chocolate mousse dessert is a must for me! Staff is very accommodating and attentive.

10/10It was a traditional french cuisine done well. The portions were generous without being disproportioned, a three course meal was right amount. The wine was a little overpriced, in France, one can have excellent wine without breaking the bank.

10/10We returned here after many years and were really pleased to see that it was still open. New owners but still the same very high standards and attention to detail. Excellent food. Friendly staff.

6/10Wonderful ambience- just what you’d expect in Paris……..however, the steaks were almost inedible! Way too tough, could barely get my fork into it. Gratin potatoes and wine were excellent. However you like your steaks, go up one level! I ordered medium rare and it came rare. They cooked it a bit more upon request, but it was still tough to get thru. Just wish the food was as awesome as the ambience

9/10This place is a little gem on Ile Saint Louis, and we have dined there a number of times. As the saying goes, only the mediocre are at their best all the time. This most recent dinner was not at the top of the kitchen’s game. The escargot were outstanding. The frites and sauce that were served with the salmon were both excellent, but the salmon itself seemed a little mushy. And I found my chicken a little bit on the dry side, personally. Please don’t let this dissuade you from coming to this restaurant. We have had many many fine meals there, and we will return. It’s just the night that we happened to be there did not display the kitchen’s effort in its best light. Also, by way of calibration, these were good solid B-level meals. But we have come to expect more. I’m sure that next time, they’ll be back at the top of their game. And it is quite a charming place to dine.

10/10We went twice to this restaurant during a 7-day stay i Paris. The location is perfect, the ambiance was spectacular, the food is excellent, and everyone works hard to make the experience personal and the best. I truly do not have enough superlatives.

10/10We returned here after first dining a year ago on a previous trip. It is a quintessential French restaurant. Small, charming, in a historic building and delicious food. The service is generally 1 man running the show, but he did a great job and was quite charming as well. The fois gras was outstanding on top of a fruit compote. My Beef Bourgogne was also delicious. We will be back
