La Rôtisserie d'Argent

Latin Quarter


Spit-roasted suckling pigs, chickens, ducks, shoulder of lamb, pigeons and more turn on rotating skewers over an open flame within view of your table at this relaxed quayside bistro run by its Michelin-starred neighbour La Tour d'Argent. Order off the daily chalkboard and save room for classic desserts like crème brûlée or lavish seasonal fruit tarts.

The wine list is extensive and excellent.
