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 an excellent seafood restaurant and I've never had a bad meal there.

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.
