Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I tried yesterday and the restaurant was amazing! Food, atmosphere, staff and chef were on point! It was one of the most impressive experience of mine in Paris! Highly recommend!"
"The chef is outstanding. He clearly knows good sources of freshest and quality supplies and brings the best taste out! I ordered three dishes and everyone was cooked to perfection. The Lotte a la plancha was so delicious that I ordered again. But the fish was out, so the chef and hostess offered thinly sliced bronzini and ceviche for free instead. Both tasted superb and different. If you are a foodie and fond of seafood, you have to give it a try and won’t be disappointed. The restaurant is tiny, and the chef prepared every dish with care."
"Went with a friend who had been before on our last night in Paris, and what a treat! We shared five dishes plus the pumpkin soup with hazelnuts, each one light, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The octopus was crispy on the outside yet tender inside. The sea bass carpaccio was exceptionally fresh and melted in the mouth. The squid at the end was pure “fresh ocean” flavor with just the right bite. A wonderful dining experience—highly recommended!"
"On the last night of my solo trip to Paris, I stumbled upon this restaurant near Place d'Italie. I didn't have a reservation but the chef kindly accommodated at the bar. He recommended the mixed seafood dish, which turned out to be the best meal I've had in a while. I also sampled the mussels in coconut milk, so divine. Next time I'm back in Paris, I'll be sure to make a reservation."
"Very interesting concept of grilled seafood and raw seafood. Chef has a good taste to use various herbs and spices to flavour the food. Also the chef speaks English, and was kind enough to explain every item on the menu (which is only available in French). A little pricy though."
"superb seafood...not just fresh raw oysters, but also cooked shell seafood. The price is reasonable. Come here you won't be disappointed if you're a seafood lover."
"Opened in my neighborhood and always wanted to try it, I stopped by one night for dinner for one, and they were nice enough to provide me a table, even though I had no reservation. The food was really great. The service was nice. Oysters were really fresh. and the ceviche was so tasty."
"Great quality food, friendly service. Only downside: you are seated very close to other guests, not much privacy"
