L’Ecailler Du Bistrot (11eme)

By David Dadoun | Published: April 20, 2013

When I first came to Paris, I mistakenly thought that the seafood in Paris could not match the freshness or quality of the what was available in Seattle, my hometown. I was wrong. The Parisians take seafood seriously and the chefs bring it to an entirely different level. Oysters (huîtres), prawns (gambas), shrimp (crevette), lobster [...]

In Woody Allen’s Midnight In Paris, he captures the spirit and soul of Paris by sharing some of its best venues, from the steps at Sacré-Cœur at midnight, to Pont Alexandre III in still night rain. Owen Wilson, playing Gil, an aspiring writer, asks whether Paris is most enchanting at night or during the day, [...]
