Despite its high prices, it is an extremely popular choice and is almost always full so be sure to book well in advance.
An extremely romantic restaurant is The Brasserie de l'Ile Saint-Louis on Quai de Bourbon that overlooks the River Seine. Meals here are less than €50 however the tight seating arrangements may detract from its romantic location.
