I dined here twice while I was in Paris, the first time was better than the second time- the first…read morevisit was 5 stars, the second, 3, so I am giving it 4.
The first time was with a friend, we approached the hostess stand. It was still early, but we wanted a cold beer on a hot day. Usually, they want you to eat, but she was okay with us having drinks as it was still early.
We were brought to a nice table outside, and we were given menus and ordered beers. I got up to look at the seafood, and it looked incredible.
When they returned with our beers, we decided to order food, our server took our orders, and we drank our very cold and refreshing beers, sitting in a beautiful garden area watching the people go by.
Then the food arrived- fresh oysters, razor clams, Foie Gras, prawns and bread & butter.
I don't usually eat oysters in the summer, but we were nearing September and the oysters were from the Normandy coast, cooler water, so I decided to have them- and boy, and I'm glad I did- they were excellent! As were the prawns, and the razor clams were to die for- perfectly cooked and tasty. The table next to us ordered Langoustine, and they looked incredible, but we were already full!
For dessert, we ordered the Rum Baba- OMG, do good and they just give you a bottle of rum to pour away! It was delicious as well.
My second visit was by myself, as I wanted ot have the Langoutine. I walked in, and nothing was available outside, so I sat inside- and I am glad I did- it was beautiful and well-appointed! Long story short, I ordered almost the same thing, but I had the Langoustine instead of the prawns, and I was sadly disappointed. They were small and one was old, the meat like paste. Everything else was good, though, but the main reason I went there the second time was a bust.
I would definitely go back again, but I would make sure to check out the fresh seafood by sight before ordering.
