Came to the Bastille Market to try one of the rotisserie chickens from here. I don't remember the…read morename of the exact place, but it was the last bird I consumed in France. My swan song from a disappointing trip in the bird department. Off the eye test, it doesn't get much better. The beautiful sight of tissi's rotating in front of a fire breathing oven, potatoes in the tray below collecting the chicken juices as they fell, had me ready to run around the Bastille plaza yelling "LE MOUVEMENT!!". I thought this was going to be my first high level bird in the City of Light. Much to my chagrin, the one I got was just lukewarm. I was ready for my fingerprints to be fully burned off. There was so much potential here, but as always, I have to judge what's in front of me. If I don't have my integrity I have nothing. It landed at an 8.1/10 on the restaurant scale which is good, but if it was hot it could have been up there with the greats in the rare 9 territory. Unrealized potential is one of the most depressing things in the world. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I especially loved the prepared meat in the stall near the entrance (they have many prepared items to choose from--I ended up loving the duck foie gras and duck rillette). Also, people were helpful and willing to deal with my poor French :) As another reviewer mentioned, there aren't many (perhaps any) ready-to-way meals. But I wasn't looking for that, and I found the quality to be fantastic.

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.

Overall the service is great (not American - is there anything I could possibly do for you - great, but great for Paris). :D They have tons of choices, including oysters, "bio" options like salmon and dorade (sea bream), whole shrimp and scallops, and tons of whole fish (both wild and farm raised). The employees can help you pick what kind of fish you are looking for and then if it requires preparation they will send it to the back where there are about 3-4 expert knife handlers that will prepare your selection to your specifications - well that is if they are not completely swamped. The prep time can be a bit long but normally by the time you pay, your order is ready. (Plus the accept credit cards! - when the machine works...) For example, I got my dorade prepared for sushi and they took the whole fish and sliced it up nicely for me. Also, they bought out one of their competitors at the end of rue Alige and have turned that shop into an oyster bar where you can get a plate of a dozen oysters and some white wine and enjoy yourself on a little table in the open air.
