Wonderful fresh oysters! Every plate that left the kitchen smelled and looked amazing. Great bread and butter, the cheese plate really hit the spot.

Great spot for seafood lovers. Simple, fresh, easy fair. Great spot to enjoy a summer evening on the terrace, with a few glasses of wine and good company . Recommend to book in advance as they do get super busy well into the evening. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.

A hidden gem, deep in the Marais. Wonderful happy oysters at a great price, as well as other fresh and tasty seafood dishes and very nice wine. Very sweet and knowledgeable staff, too. Highly recommended.

Nice & tiny place - delicious & special not “every day” fish. Small card with lovely details. Very nice & friendly staff. Good variety of wine & drinks. Definitely worth going there.

A gorgeous restaraunt with excellent service, a small but very well paired wine selection and flavourful, packed seafood dishes. Special recommendation to the grilled fish and octopus tacos. Perfect for an evening outdoor setting on the street with wine, fresh produce. Felt beautiful in Paris.

This charming French fish restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner, a bit off the main tourist path. The clientele was entirely local, which added to the authentic atmosphere. We enjoyed tender octopus tacos (meat-free), grilled fish with baby potatoes, a refreshing ceviche, and oysters. Everything was delicious and flavorful, embodying a light Mediterranean style. The waitstaff were attentive, frequently refilling our bread basket without any fuss.

Nice food! Almost every dish is delicious. For outdoor dining, please watch out for bees. During our dinner there was a bee flying around and was a bit annoying.
