Le Tournebièvre Restaurant

Quai de la Tournelle, Paris, France

15th July 2011 City dynamics are changing so rapidly in Paris, that finding a wonderful little bistro that serves great food is becoming rare.  So I am extremely fortunate to have Le Tournebièvre virtually on my doorstep! Clodagh and I have been here several times, and thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambience.  Talented chef Malaury Sibille and his lovely wife Clara opened this cosy restaurant three years ago.  Malaury has won several awards for his cuisine, and Parisians and visitors from foreign destinations appreciate his formidable skills in the kitchen.  He uses fresh seasonal ingredients, and there are daily specials.  French favourites like escargot, canard and Entrecote are all individually prepared.  I’m a great fan of  the seafood dishes, and if I’ve been to the gym, then there isn’t too much guilt in indulging in a light and creamy tiramisu for dessert. In summer, al fresco dining on the terrace, with Notre Dame in view, is truly a splendid way to enjoy fine cuisine in a charming Parisian setting.  The wine list from an acclaimed caviste adds to the pleasure and culinary delights of Le Tournebièvre.  Reservations: +33 (0) 1 44 07 27 34.  www.letournebievre.com JG
