Some friends who have been traveling in Europe are in Paris this week. We met for lunch at La Tour d’Argent at 15 quay de la Tournelle. Kirsi booked months ago or we would not have been able to get in. Thank you Kirsi!
This restaurant is beautiful, probably the loveliest I have ever been in. It is worth going for the view over Paris, but the food is wonderful too. It is a very elegant restaurant and I didn’t think they would appreciate me taking photos, so I missed the first courses, but then I saw others with cameras so mine appeared too.
Take a look at the beautiful interior.
Our beautiful centre piece.

Here is our amazing view from the restaurant.
Now for the food. I ordered duck with figs.
There was a mini duck confit with a fig on top.
The fish also looked excellent.
This tray of delights arrived before dessert. Some of them were eaten before I could photograph them.
My dessert was chocolate tarte with figs. I do like figs.
The other dessert looked mighty fine as well.
The service in the restaurant was excellent. We were also very impressed with the chap in charge of the press.
We were not sure what the press was for, but the chap handled it with aplomb.
This next photo is not great, but I want to show you how close we were to the Notre Dame.
La Tour d’Argent has been around for a long time. It does things very well.
