We ate at his Fables de la Fontaine last Sunday night, Constant's small seafood restaurant on the Rue St. Domonique. It is quite small and the cooking wass very uneven (we both liked our starters but were very disappointed by the mains).
Another good Sunday option is the Rotisserie du Beaujolais on the Quai de la Tournelle in the 5th --actually across the street from Tour d'Argent (I thinks it has the same ownership). For us, it was the perfect Sunday lunch, roast chicken and those incomparable mashed potatoes that only the French can make. Terrific starters as well and very reasonably priced wine list.
