One of our favorite dinners we had in Paris during our stay. We ordered a pan fried fish that was drenched in butter (Sole Meuniere I believe it's called?) It was one of the best things we've ever ate. I don't know what they do to that butter but WOW. That's the only way I can describe it. They present a whole cooked sole to you before filleting it. It's really heavenly and words can't describe how good it was. Really, effing, good. The dish came with creamed fennel and steamed potatoes which went perfectly with the fish. We didn't feel the salmon tartar was spectacular enough to order again and I would skip it. You'll get full enough from the sole dish. The fish looks huge but the serving size is enough for one person to get full. Don't split it, be greedy. You'll seriously not want to share this dish once you try it. The dish is very simple. Pan fried fish in butter, but the quality of that butter and the freshness of that fish is all you need. You won't be able to replicate anything like this back at home, it's truly the epitome of what you would imagine french cuisine is. One of my friends ordered something different that I can't remember the name but it was essentially shrimp in pasta with a tomato based sauce. It was alright I thought, the shrimp was fresh (comes with face on). As my friend described the tomato sauce as \a mix of cocktail sauce in ketchup\ which seemed pretty accurate. I wouldn't order that dish but my friend quite enjoyed it. It's very large for one person so get it to share if you must. If you can only do 1 fancy dinner in Paris do it here. The sole dish was around 60 euro give or take but highly worth it. A small dessert is given after the meal as well. Their wine is excellent so treat yourself to a bottle with dinner. Their finest, cheapest, bottle was very good :)
I treated myself to lunch here. My first time in Paris and I know very little French. My server knew some English. However, he was patient and very nice. All the waitstaff was kind. The food/service was well worth the price. My favorite was the sole smothered in butter. It melted in my mouth. I hope to return one day. It was definitely one of the more memorable moments of my trip.
Great food
My favourite place when it comes to birthday treats.
May be the best fish restaurant in Paris!
Our first night in Paris, we decided to have dinner close to our Airbnb apartment. We each ordered something different and everything was delicious! The host and waiters were as nice as they could be. I'm not sure where the idea that French people are rude to Americans because we did not experience that at all anywhere in France and especially in this restaurant. We had a great evening and I was really glad we ate there!
I don't speak much French, and the waiter was so kind. I had a luxurious, memorable lunch on my own. Everything was delicious.
