The retro clock above the magazine rack has been keeping time here since the '50s, and the new owners were smart enough to leave it alone. L'Escale is a classic Parisian café-bistro on the Île Saint-Louis, overlooking the Seine, with a corner bar, tiled floors, and a chalkboard menu that changes by shift. Lunch runs toward Gallic comfort food; dinner goes family-style. On weekends, the roast chicken with frites disappears fast.
