Situated just off pont Louis-Philippe this ornate restaurant boasts one of the most beautiful spots in Paris with outdoor seating in a cobbled lane facing the Seine on one side and a majestic church on the other. However, the luxurious interior may tempt you to stay indoors where you can sit among the drooping chandeliers, over sized lamps and gold gilt mirrors. The menu consists of traditional French dishes and is famous for arguably the best steak and chips Paris, chateaubriand aux poivre with frites ‘Chez Julien’ which are simply to die for. The wine list is extensive and takes up three quarters of the menu but thankfully the waiters are graciously helpful and quick to help dissect the vintages. The size and intimacy of the restaurant make it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner for two and its situation allows you to meander over to Marais after your meal to walk off the spectacular creme brulee pralinee.“
