Mon Vieil Ami

Strasbourg star chef Antoine Westermann tapped Antony Clémont, his old second at Buerehiesel, to head up this progressive Alsatian bistro on Ile St-Louis. Modernized high-ceilinged, half-timbered space reflects the updated, non-trad menu. Seasonal mains consistently impress, especially the veggies. Be sure to try the house starter, a pastry-encrusted pâté paired with salad and walnut oil. A big communal table can seat 14 if you need it. €15 plat du jour, €41 menu. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
