At this convivial bistro and wine bar, specialities include oysters, tartines (open sandwiches; €11 to €12) and the salade tire-bouchon (a salad with ham, foie gras and salmon). There's a menu for youngsters at €7.20. Au Tire-Bouchon is a bit hard to find – from quai de Caligny, follow the signs to ‘Parking Notre-Dame’.
