A nice little seafood restaurant that we often go to for a cheaper meal is the Moules en Folie, hidden on the small street in the Gaité area of Montparnasse, near the Gare. We like Moules but they also serve an acceptable Paella ("Moule en Folie" 5 rue du Maine, note that avenue du Maine is not the rue du Maine, although the latter intersects it). Generally we get out of their for way under 100 euros for two. I like the ambiance. Although we normally speak French, the boss speaks a half dozen languages including very good English. This is not a place which has a big oyster selection however. They have some. Good soupe de poisson. Earl Earl |

One we enjoyed a lot (though on somebody else's expense account!) was Maison Prunier, which features its restored Art Decco raw bar on the ground floor. Food was excellent and service was of the highest calibre.
16 av Victor Hugo 75116 PARIS, tel: 01 44 17 35 85 fax : 01 44 17 90 10 "The Rev Gaston" wrote in message ... From time to time you may have seen Earl's recommendations for a seafood restaurant opposite St Lazarre station called Garnier's. Yesterday being Mrs G's birthday we wenr there, and I concur with Earl that it is excellent. We had the giant seafood platter, and you could hardly see the far side of it. However, after an hour of gobbling we made some inroads into the pile of oysters, langoustines, crab etc. The starters are also delicious - we had salmon gravlax in a mild mustard sauce, and crab with an avodaco mousse - and the desserts a let-down being only "good". Wee Miss had lamb chops which were also very good - tender and tasty, so if one of yoru partyt doesn't like seafood, have no fear. The service is also excellent. We were accomodated in a "no smoking" secton which had a good window view over the street below. The prices are not cheap - we crept out for a smidgeon under €250 - but it was nice for a special occasion. G; -- Encrypted e-mail address. Click to mail me: http://cerbermail.com/?nKYh3qN4YG |

I can highly recommend Les Galets in Veules les Roses, near Dieppe, and Matelote in Boulogne. -- congokid Good restaurants in London? Number one on Google http://congokid.com |
