Excellent seafood restaurant - never had a bad meal here. Beautiful seafood tower and seasonal cooking. Clamato is a classic institution I really like. It's right next to Septime that has become famous and hard to get a table at, so going to Clamato next door is a good alternative as they don't take reservations. It’s an excellent seafood restaurant and I've never had a bad meal there. They're known for their beautiful seafood tower and I definitely always get that and just a some cooked seafood and shellfish that they offer. Clamato’s menu is a good reflection of what's in the ocean at the moment.

An outstanding depiction of Chinese restaurants by a Japanese chef, that draws attention to French ingredients cooked with a variety of Chinese flavors. The most noteworthy dish for me was duck cooked with different spices, pre cut, and served perfectly pink, flavorful and juicy. Coffee, as a great finish for any good meal, is of excellent quality here, roasted by Brulerie Belleville.

Hole in the wall seafood heavenTwo tables of six plus a small counter. Super fresh, seasonable, sustainably sourced and extremely reasonably priced shellfish and fish with a daily changing menu. Mostly natural wines, noisy & fun wibe. Olive Davoux’s über-tiny place in the northern Paris (10th arr) is not for everyone. If you are looking for peace and privacy, don´t go here. Sur Mer is all about passion and buzz. But where the atmosphere might be a bit rough, what´s on a plate is all about sophistication. Lovely place.

Industry Hot Spot: Maxime & Solal’s new natural wine bar is a delicious, joyful VIBE.Maxime Dardeau & Solal Martin-Grondard’s new Les Oeillets wine bar - is actually the former Chambre Noire where they used to work. During their tenure, they paid attention and learned how to run one of the most popular new openings in the 11th. They took over the corner spot, gave it a fresh coat of paint, amped up the natural wine list and injected some serious high-level energy into the corner neighborhood spot. Every night it’s packed with a young exuberant crowd packed in around tiny tables to eat, drink and socialize on the terrace and indoor dining room. Although it is a GREAT time (and Max's physical comedy could rival Chaplin), it is not all party-party … a series of top-notch resident chefs rotate through the open kitchen at the zinc bar creating delicious sharing plates. Current Chef Paul Alexis’s menu starts with house pulled-pork rillettes with Basque peppers, Gorgonzola with chilis followed by (my all-time favourite) large crispy hash brown squares dressed with tangy tarama-caviar creme, limequat and grated Gouda cheese, Paimpol white beans with bacon fat croutons & chili oil or the delicious warm shallot tart with fresh raw cream. They are serious about their natural wines too - currently in love with German & Hungarian wines and who I’ll always be eternally grateful for turning me on to the Brand Brothers in Germany. It is a VIBE and the guys are full of SO, MUCH, JOY.
Chantoiseau is tucked away along the steep streets of Montmartre in Paris, offering a relaxed spot for traditional French dining. Guests appreciate its attentive service and carefully chosen natural wines. It’s a welcome escape in a neighborhood that can otherwise feel quite busy.

A pearl in the hills of MontmartreWell hidden amongst the steep streets of Montmartre lies Chantoiseau. This bird sings with an elegant voice. The courses are intelligently crafted and harmonious in execution. The wine list mostly consists of carefully selected natural wines. The service is kind and attentive. Chantoiseau is a pearl in this otherwise touristic part of town.
Folderol is a relaxed ice cream shop and wine bar in Paris, run by the same husband-and-wife team behind Le Rigmarole.
