The Bistrot Alexandre III is not just another barge floating on the Seine. Here, the emphasis is on the terroir, the small winegrowers and the best products in this vessel of delicacy which moored this summer under the Pont Alexandre III

With its pewter counters, its sober and chic decoration, rekindles the spirit of real Parisian bistros around mouth-watering shared dishes. At the stove: Chef Ryunosuke Naito, a young Japanese prodigy, who studied with Alain Soliveres, Mickael Feval, Yannick Alleno, Alain Ducasse and Yves Camdeborde. He has created a highly appetizing map. You can see him preparing his dishes in an open kitchen on a long metal worktop and even taking live photos. He remains imperturbable, smiling at you from time to time, with a cool, so Japanese sense of perfection. On the programme: creative, fragrant and light dishes. Just order three for two and you'll leave the table full! We particularly liked the old-fashioned mozzarella tomatoes, the "crispy" langoustines with curry-coconut sauce, the cod croquettes with a light mousse of tartar sauce and the creamy meat burger from the artisan butcher Hugo Desnoyer. During the meal, from time to time, the riverboats pass by and we remember that we are on a boat ... The stability of the barge is such that you forget you're on the water! If you add to this the cosy and relaxed atmosphere of the place and the fact that you can eat inside, you would almost feel like you were in a classic bistro in the heart of Paris. But, no, no: we're on a barge floating on the Seine. And it's still more pleasant!

After your meal, as you leave, enjoy the magical setting: you are under the Pont Alexandre III, one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris, not far from the Invalides, with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. The opportunity to make more than one selfie "remembered Paris" during a digestive walk... And if you feel like partying, the Rosa Bonheur and the Faust are not far away... To sum up, we liked this original and gastronomic address, Parisian but not too much.
