Sarl Castafiore sits tiny in its charming spot on l’Ile St. Louis. No overdone decor, condescending wait staff. Just sponged peach walls and Ed. He does everything to welcome you. For 16 years, I have made this restaurant my private dining room in Paris. With friends or alone, it has always drawn me back.
The pastas are supreme. Sauces to dream of the rest of the year. And intimate and welcoming. The Tiramisu is rated 9 on a worldwide tiramisu website rating but 10 by me. Explore Sarl Castafiore when you want to feel at home and eat wonderful food. Not to be compared with any other restaurant. Unique and I will always return there. More than once in a trip.

Permanently closed, sorry.
Piccolo Teatro is one of Paris’ nice little secrets, a vegetarian restaurant that can’t be beat…
Located in the fashionably gay Marais district, and next door to hot bar Les Scandaleuses, this place is all the rage with the younger, hip crowd.
Delightfully casual interior, resaonable prices and good food are quite welcome to this vegetarian reviewer.
