Les Maquereaux

Take to the waves on board this restaurant barge, moored on the quay outside the Hôtel de Ville. Along with its two-level terrace, there’s a huge light wood table d’hôte on the upper deck and seating complete with comfy cushions on the quays for guests to relax in the shade of the plane trees.

Service with a smile is the order of the day here, with a choice of Breton oysters, whelks with a mayonnaise sauce or a selection of smoked fish: it’s the perfect place to enjoy the sunset over the Île Saint-Louis, with a glass of white from a small French producer in hand.

Plus, experience not just any seafood bar, but one where Brazilian chef Alexandre Furtado lovingly transforms fish and shellfish into stunning creations: tataki-style bluefin tuna wrapped in a banana leaf, oysters with a Champagne granita and sweet potato gnocchi, or a little parmesan crumble.

Drift through ‘til the early hours on beats created by different guest DJs each week. You’ll be happy as a clam!
