Location and terrace are amazing. I prefer to order a beer with ceramic mag cup.
Interior and illustration drawn on the windows remain good old atmosphere of this restaurant, and it makes me feel good.
Wonderfully located at the tip of the Île Saint-Louis, in front of Notre Dame de Paris, La Brasserie de l’Isle Saint-Louis welcomes you with its warm décor, typical style of the Parisian brasseries in the 1930s.
As early as the nineteenth century, the location of the Brasserie housed a restaurant which was successively called “La Taverne du Pont-Rouge”, and “L’Oasis”; then it was renamed in 1953 to its current name by Paul and Marthe Guépratte who knew how to elevate it to the rank of Parisian institution. Since the 1950’s, this restaurant has been successively managed by one family over three generations. They has tried to preserve the passion for the tradition of politics, art and literature from several generations without getting influenced by trends. It retains its old customers; some of them even remember the early days of the spouses Guépratte in 1953 (!), whose descendants make sure that ancestral traditions are respected.
From the very first sunny days, the terrace welcomes you under its eternal golden and red awnings to enjoy the gentle pleasures of life in Paris and its panoramic view of the Seine, the left bank and the Pantheon.
