Island on the Seine, quant old winding streets & restaurants

I visited Paris for a short while about 10 years ago. There was an
island on the Seine that had old rustic winding streets, multi-story
buildings on both sides of the main street, mostly abutted, and filled
with quaint restaurants at the ground level. After checking out the
geotag pictures on Google maps, I'm still unsure as to which island it
was...any suggestions? Thanks.

That would be the Ile de la Cite. See:

My inclination is to say it's the Isle of St. Louis, but there are no winding
streets. All the streets are quite straight. I feel sure it's the place
you're looking for.

Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me...after reading the other
responses in this thread, I think you are right.

Thank you.

No, what he describes is Ile Saint Louis.

I think it's Ile Saint-Louis. Thank you, tc, Magda.
