Had the oysters since that's what they are known for, but they weren't served ice cold as I would've expected and preferred. There was a smattering of ice on the tray but certainly not enough to keep the oysters cold. That said, perhaps this is how the French serve them. These were the only whelk of the trip that had sand in them. And, service was underwhelming. I think a party seated after us was served drinks first and I had to walk to the bar to ask for my check. There, I was ignored until I said something. Then, I asked if I should pay at the bar and they replied, "If you want." They clearly were not ashamed that I was compelled to seek out my check on foot. It was just poor service for a $$$ place. Though, the fois gras pate and smoked scallops were quite good. There are so many other great seafood places in Paris; I wouldn't recommend this one. read more

Sign on the door says place opens at 12. Went around 12 and waiter told me (with an attitude) to come back in 20 minutes. What's the point of having a sign if you're just going to open at whichever hour you felt like today. Sad because I planned to visit this place during a short stay and now wouldn't be able to squeeze in. read more

Four stars for the price because the special for a dozen oysters plus a glass of wine is really really good. The service was fine too and the oysters were well shucked. That said the place is tiny, even by Parisian standards (it was even tighter than the one time our table was literally part of the radiator at the Pigalle 17:45). It is so tight that every time another table had someone need to get up the whole back wall of the place had to get up to let them out. Also kind of a bummer that the selection is worse than Comptoir de Mer, Avant Comptoir de Mer or most of the brasseries in Montparnasse. Honestly although the oysters were good and the prices were great, it wasn't a terribly enjoyable experience and we most likely won't return. read more

I'm a New Englander and I know raw bar. I know raw bar as well as anyone, and I can tell you beyond a reasonable doubt the raw bar at Huiterie Regis is world class. 10 tables, there's foie gras and other stuff on the menu but you go for their oysters. Huiterie means "oyster house " in French. They don't serve with cocktail sauce, no mignonette, just this Bouteville vinegar that is incredible. It's top is a dropper and a drop is all you need. The service was mediocre, the waiters were just a little stupid tbh, but the oyster and shrimp quality was par excellence. It's a local joint, not touristy whatsoever, and it's very cool. Get a bottle of white wine and the biggest platter you can afford! Bon Appetite! read more

I read about Huitrerie Regis on a list of best oyster places in Paris, and it was extremely close to our hotel. So we gave it a shot. It is not an assuming place - in fact we wandered around the same intersection for a good 10 minutes before we figured out we were almost right on top of it. It's a small restaurant so go during off times to try to ensure you don't have to wait. As it was, we were seated immediately by the couple of young men working in the restaurant. It wasn't fancy but it sure was delicious. -I got the foie gras because I cannot help myself in France. It was delicious as always. -We got oysters and added on half a dozen jumbo prawns. The oysters were a variety ... they had four in stock when we went so we just got three of each and had a merry good time. They were all absolutely delicious and shucked well. Some of the best oysters we've had in a long time. The shrimp were good but honestly the oysters were the rock star. We only were there for a small meal before heading over to the Eiffel Tower so that's all we had. But we did tremendously enjoy it. They had a small but good wine selection too, and the staff was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I wish we had enough time to return for another meal. But if you like to crush some oysters and you're over in St. Germain, check this little spot out! read more

The best Oysters and Shrimp! We have been wanting to try Huitrerie Regis for our last couple of trips to Paris, but there was always a line for this very intimate restaurant. Recently, the owners sold it to a couple of younger gentlemen, and the only thing they changed was that they now take reservations! We ordered the Cabane x 2: 24 oysters (four different kinds and eight large head-on shrimp) -- all outstanding. A couple of glasses of Chinon and we were set. The discovery for us was the vinegar. Spectacular with oysters. So good I went to the Grand Epeceire at the Bon Marche and picked up a couple of bottles. Nice, friendly service, and never rushed -- the French way! read more

The oysters and the prawns were absolutely fresh and amazing. Definitely the best I have ever had. This place definitely deserves 5 stars! Service was just okay (personal opinion), the waiter did seem to have a chip on his shoulder, but that aside, the food incredibly fresh. Oysters were still fully alive. read more

It's not often that I take advice from a YouTube channel called "Les Frenchies," featuring a woman who sports striped sailor sweaters and a sensible haircut, but in this case I did, and I think I've been very wrong about the Frenchies thus far. Because in this case, THEY KNEW THEIR STUFF. I loathe oysters with the heat of 10,000 suns, so I had the paté. It was just fine - tasty, and served with plenty of little toast points. But the paté isn't the point of this place. The point is the oysters, and they are divine. My husband had a dozen of their second-least-expensive oysters and he pronounced them amazing - splendid - SUPERB. They are beyond fresh, served on a proper platter with a tall base, and come with a wonderful bottle of vinegar that's aged in cognac casks. He was warned to use only a drop or two, or it will "kill the taste of the oysters." I don't know about that, but I do know that I tried a drop, and I have never tasted anything like it. It was OMG so good. The oysters come with bread - a basket of sturdy slices of what I think was sourdough rye. He had a glass of Bourgogne Aligoté (white), which was eye-wateringly expensive but very, very good. I had a glass of pinot noir, also of very high quality. The restaurant is very small - maybe 10 tables, including the 3 outside - and looks clean and fresh and chic. We sat outside in the warm sun and fresh breeze and had a delightful dining experience. Wait staff are sweet. No one rushes you. It isn't a touristy joint AT ALL, which is lovely to experience in Paris. My only warning is that if you are a larger person, perch carefully upon the chairs. I thought mine was going to collapse at one point. But it didn't. :-) And the oysters were superb. read more

You just arrived in Paris after a delayed flight. It's too late for lunch, and really too early for a proper dinner. It's time for some of the best oysters available anywhere in the World. Period. The only difference between being here and the shores of Brittany is a handful of hours. Outside of a nice little Duck foie gras and grilled bread to start (what better way to start eating in Paris can there be). We ordered dozens of the oysters they had available. Even when eating oysters on the coast where they are caught in the US, I've never had ones like this. Some of it is the freshness, and some is being shucked by a guy who has shucked so many thousands it's second nature. There was so much crisp brine still in the shells, I ended up dumping some of the water to balance out the salt and oysters. They were just magnificent. They had a perfect wine list. We went with a nice Muscadet because you just never see that wine around enough. It worked perfectly. This is a tiny place with no more than 5-6 tables packed into a small space. Still, it didn't feel crowded. The only disappointment was that Urchin wasn't available. read more

We had heard great things about this place and tried to go one evening but they had already closed... Its small - really small. So best to try and go at off hours - unfortunately the first time around we were too late. But persistence paid off, we came the next night and voila! A table for two! Had gotten some intel on the smoked scallops - a small appetizer but delicious! Several different types of oysters to choose from - so after a run down from our waiter - we chose. They were delicious! Briny and plump as well as sweet. Very delicious! We also ordered a half dozen prawns. Really hard to find head on prawns here in the US - at least in the northeast... they were fabulous! Excellent wines as well. Expensive but definitely the best oysters we had in Paris. read more

Featured on the essential 38 EaterS' list for Paris, Huitrerie Régis is definitely legit! The restaurant is tiny but can seat about 20+ people at max capacity, elbow to elbow. The menu features the most in season raw or chilled seafood, including the yummy local oysters, clams, shrimps and the wonderful cockles. Note that there are no hot food option - everything we ordered were as fresh as you can expect. Thank you Eater for the recommendation! read more

Really good and good sized oysters. I'm no expert but felt that the brine overtook the taste of the oysters so I tried not to take too much liquid with them. The wine recommendations and foie gras were both excellent. read more

Can't wait to come back to Paris for this...we did a walk-in on a Tues in November ~12:30pm and got a table inside. The assistant/server from Aix en Provence was very helpful and his English is very good. The welks with the mayonnaise sauce were a great starter dish. The speciales no.3 were so fresh, the meat so plump, and the amount of liquor in the shell was amazing. Perfectly shucked with no shell pieces. This place reminds us of the seaside restaurants serving oysters in Cancale. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by friends. It's a very small place so reservations are highly recommended. The oysters they're famous for were pretty good, but again nothing special. We got the seafood platter that came with 3 types of oysters, clams, and shrimp. The clams were terrible and made me miss the raw cherry clams I used to have in Boston. These were very fishy and tiny. The shrimp were okay but nothing special. I've had way better shrimp, including spot prawns in CA. The oysters were pretty good- big in size and fresh but again, nothing really special. The oysters we had in Normandy were much better and less expensive. I feel also that this place has become a tourist trap as everyone in the restaurant was speaking English. If you really want to eat oysters in Paris then this is probably the place to go but it's expensive for what you get and nothing special if you've had good oysters before. read more

Friendly service but the oysters did not live up to its hype. I ordered the most expensive platter, tried all of the oysters that they had to offer. It was really average at best. I exchanged the comments and thoughts with my next table neighbor, they felt the same way too. This place seem to be very touristy. None of the patrons were local. I wonder why. read more

Stopped in for lunch last week. I know I keep saying this with my French reviews, but this place is tiny...maybe 16 seats. There is no kitchen, only a small shucking area and some wine. The menu is very simple. The vibe is extremely quiet... they could use to play a little music. We ordered a dozen belon oysters and a dozen prawns. The quality of the oysters was extremely high...I've never consumed oysters as "oystery" (if that makes sense to you) as this place. The prawns were also very good. They were expense though...59 euros for the dozen. Ultimately, we left without ordering anything else. read more

Oysters were fresh but on the salty side. Hope you like the oyster taste by itself because there is no cocktail sauce or anything to go with it. Also you have to order a dozen per person which is about 3£ per oyster. Most likely wouldn't come back read more

My wife and I were in Paris and my brother in law loves this small place on a side street in Paris. They make you order 12 oysters/prawns/clams, but my wife doesn't eat oysters, so I got lucky and got 24 oysters. It wa about 25 Euros for a dozen and I got a glass of wine too. The oysters were fantastic and our server was British, so we could understand her. Highly recommended if you like oysters! read more

It's an oyster and shrimp bar. Simply put. That's all they have on their menu so don't bother coming if you're allergic to seafood. They have a couple of fixed menus that you can choose between. You can get two different types of oysters with coffee and wine or you can get the oysters with shrimp. The oysters and shrimp were very fresh and tasty! But honestly this should be an appetizer place since I always leave hungry. read more

Another small owner/operator restaurant, with an active owner. My colleague and I stopped here for dinner as we wanted something different. Well we got just what we wanted. Local oysters and prawns. That is basically the menu. Owner very knowledgeable of wines and makes great pairing suggestions. Place is small and can get crowded. Mostly locals (but they do offer English menus). So suggest you get there early or go late. read more

Raw oysters are the best. They're the best in the food. Thanks you, Dr. Jacqueline Sacco MD PhD

This review is for their take-out, not dine in. I've had their oysters twice. Both take-out. Both times amazingly fresh oysters. They were so plump, fresh and perfectly briny. We ordered two dozen oysters. I can't remember the type. Also, we ordered a little bit of shrimp. First of all, I was dubious about ordering already cooked shrimp because that meant all the flavor is probably already lost! NOT HERE. I was pleasantly surprised that they were still moist. Next time I'm in Paris and crave oysters without wanting to eat out, I'd go here. Plus, they give you 5 euros back when you return the tray! Make sure you ask for lemon, because the first time they didn't give us any. read more

Owner operated restaurant. The place is tiny & the tables are mostly stuck together so you'll be making new friends. They have a few set items on the menu or you just choose whatever & quantity you would like. I got the dozen oyster, 1/2 regular & 1/2 special which included a glass of wine, around 40 euros. The specials were definitely amazing and worth it. The oysters were super fresh. The place can be busy and a possible wait depending on when you go. read more

Minimum order is 12 per person. We ordered a little bit of everything. All the oysters were really fresh. In my opinion, the shrimp was the best. It was sweet and so good! The price is a little up there but these oysters were tastes of the ocean in your mouth. The clams were phenomenal too! I ordered their last 6 clams left! It was delicious. I ordered a pitcher of their dry white wine which paired very well. It's a small restaurant, it has about 16 seatings. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. It's a bright, white tone with windows bringing in a lot of sunlight. Overall, pricey but a worth a visit for seafood restaurant. read more

My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The oysters were soooo ridiculously fresh and delicious. I went with a friend and we started with the foie gras pâté (definitely memorable) and both got the second options with half a dozen of both oysters. My favorite were the Speciales de Claires.

I think u get here right at 630.fills quickly. Some items listed were not available. Menu is small. Oysters run at 2-3 eu each or you can get the combo offered. The selection of oysters and the quality, taste of each is excellent. Some briny, some saltier, some sweeter, some creamier, but all excellent. Fresh from the ocean. Prawns are sweet, fleshy, cold, and redder than others I have seen. Really great. Good spot for a light snack. read more

6 stars!!! This place is beautiful. Yes it's tiny but that's part of the charm. I came here during a solo weekend trip and had a great experience. There are a few "sets" for one. I ordered the 12 oysters/sancerre wine/coffee for €36 and it was well worth it. Comes with bread & butter too. The interior of the restaurant is all white and modern, has a handful of tables and the guys are shucking oysters right there. The waitress was really nice and accommodated my terrible French by meeting me halfway with English. Go here right when it opens to avoid too long of a line. read more

We finally got to eat here for lunch, the place was packed! Mostly older, mature people. Maybe the younger crowd here in Paris aren't big on oysters ¯\(°_°)/¯ The lady, who's the wife I'm assuming, was just lovely and helpful. We tried all the oysters and sea urchin. Best sea urchin I ever tasted in my life! So sweet. We had to wait outside and we were going to sit outside at one of their tables but then some people left so we went inside to sit. We ordered two different kinds of oysters, one was stronger and more briny while the other was more light and sweeter. Anyway, make a pit stop here if you're ever in the Saint Germain Area. read more

Tucked in one of the small alleys in St. Germain, Paris is Huitrerie Régis. Though small and not a place you'll pass by on your way to the shopping areas, it's definitely worth a visit. After waiting with a bowl of Tom Yum Kung in the Thai restaurant right next to Huitrerie, they were finally opened and already packed. We managed to squish into a table for four in the packed restaurant with barely enough space to get around in. We realized that there was a minimum of a dozen oysters per person but here's the thing. If you're there with a group and it's not likely that you can eat a dozen oysters each, you can order something as substitute. We placed an order of shrimps (more expensive than a dozen of oysters) so we didn't have to stuff a dozen oysters each. It takes a while for the platter of oysters to get to your table but you'll notice that Huitrerie Régis is more of a family-run type of business. There's only one man shucking the oysters. They were probably opened for only about half an hour and the man is already sweating from shucking away for all the oyster-cravers. While we were still waiting for our platter, a decent line has already formed outside of the restaurant. The oysters were the best I've had throughout my trip in Europe. We went to a couple that the locals as well as food review sites recommended but they were just not as good. We ordered the Fines de Claires, Speciales de Claires and the organic shrimps. If I remember correctly, the Speciales de Claires was way too salty for my liking. However, I can give you my word that the oysters were very, very fresh. read more

The best raw oysters I've ever had! I told my husband that I wanted something exotic to eat and he was browsing through yelp to find this place. He surprised me with raw oysters which he knows I loveee. I was satisfied with their raw oysters, very fresh and sweet! Oh my, I'm drooling thinking about it now. Shrimp was also very delicious, sweet! And we tried sea urchin which was interesting and good. Very satisfied with the food and service. Place is small but not overly crowded, which got me surprised but I wouldn't even complain because no wait for us. I was sure a one happy wife after we left this place :) It's a must try it! read more

RUN HERE NOW!!! If you love oysters, this is the place to go in Paris. It's not fancy. They only serve oysters, clams, some prawns, wine and bubbly, but seriously. What else do you need in life??? After trying some amazing (but a little too touristy) restaurants and a 3 Michelin star place in London, this was one of my most memorable places. I made my husband trek across the city through multiple metro lines and past other oyster places to come here. Very small and family owned. Service is friendly, though slow. We had three dozen oysters, crisp Sancerre white wine, and were beyond happy. Is not cheap, but it's Paris, so we were fine with the pricing - between 22-36 euros per dozen. We are our brains out. The ones that translate to "dark pearl" were out of this world. Grab one of the three tables outside and get there early. It got busy. Interior had a few small tables. Restroom is like a plastic airplane bathroom - just a heads up. read more
