2 Best Restaurants in The Latin Quarter, Paris

Michelin-starred chef William Ledeuil flexes his genius for France-meets-Asia flavors at this chic address—his third—a few blocks from Île St-Louis and Notre-Dame. Ledeuil is known and loved for his fearless pairings of bold and subtle flavors, like veal tartare pasta with crunchy peanuts and pungent bonito flakes or Thai beef soup with luscious Iberian ham, mushrooms, and sweet pear. Desserts are equally expressive and not to be missed. The affordable lunch prix-fixe menus are a fabulous deal.

This contemporary bistro offers inspired, creative cooking with a sense of fun. Chef-owner William Ledeuil, a tireless experimenter, buys heirloom vegetables directly from farmers and tracks down herbs and spices in Asian supermarkets to create a deliberately deconstructed menu featuring raw fish, soups, pastas, and fresh vegetables. You can choose a five-course or a seven-course menu for dinner (€105 or €125 respectively); the two-course lunch menu (43€) is a great value. If on offer (the menu changes constantly and inventively), consider the chicken with dates, sesame, and yuzu, or the scallops in a citrus, turmeric, and bergamot sauce.
