Pleine Mer sur Paris

There are nights when online reviews can easily lead you to make the wrong choice, and that's exactly what was about to happen with Le Plein Mer. Reading around, we were a little worried about the rumors about long waits, especially since we hadn't been able to book: the restaurant doesn't have a website, and the alternative would have been to contact them via Facebook, but since we don't speak the language, the idea of ​​calling made us quite uneasy. So we decided to give it a try, walking past, with the idea that if there was a long line, we could simply book in person for the next day. But instead, we were completely surprised: the place was completely empty. No one was there, no one waiting. At that point, our doubts were overturned, and I admit we were quite hesitant about whether to sit down or not. The person who convinced us was the young man in the dining room, extremely kind and with truly magnetic eyes. We chose one of the oyster menus, but the inside of the restaurant turned out to be a scorching furnace, forcing us to settle for the tables outside. The oysters arrived and were undoubtedly good and fresh, but unfortunately they were affected by the ambient temperature and were a bit warm, not exactly ideal for seafood. The wine suffered the same fate: a good product, but served decidedly too hot. To finish, we were hoping for a sweet note, but instead we were in for a final disappointment, as they unfortunately don't have dessert on the menu. A somewhat uneven experience, saved in extremis by the raw ingredients and the courtesy of the staff.

An oasis in Paris. A place where you can eat nothing but oysters, without any pretensions. I've been a couple of times and it's always fantastic. Don't expect luxury or anything fancy, but that's what makes it so pleasant. The best thing to do is sit at one of the outdoor tables if the weather is nice. A dozen oysters costs around €20 (it can vary depending on the size you order). The wine is also good and very reasonably priced. I don't know why the place isn't more crowded. Keep it up!

Fresh products depending on availability, very friendly service.

Like a little piece of Cancale in Paris. Unbeatable prices and quality for the oysters, though the rest is a bit lacking. A big yes, even if the waitress was a little grumpy. You can't be smiling every day!

Really good and affordable compared to other places in paris. Oysters were quite fresh and delicious. The waitress was very nice and helpful.

Absolutely fantastic! The oysters were delicious, the service was perfect, and the owner was very pleasant, smiling, and charming. I highly recommend this restaurant where the oysters come directly from Cancale.
