Le Bar à Huîtres

Le Bar à Huîtres

The sidewalk display in front of the restaurant is colorfully arranged 

with a large selection of les fruits de mer

Although I have not eaten here, 

the boxes in the bottom row are labeled Les Huîtres Cadoret, 

a family company over five generations since 1880.

It makes my mouth water just to think about these bivalves.

If you are fond of seafood you will love this restaurant devoted to shrimp, fish, prawns, lobster, and most importantly (to me) oysters!  We were there for a midday meal of oysters and to sample their featured fish of the day.  I was not disappointed and as I type about the salty sea flavor of these delightful mollusks, my mouth is watering.  At home I might have been mixing a coctail sauce, but here they needed not a single seasoning or spice. 

 

 

The next trip to this bistrot, I will just have an assortment of oysters...

with a side of baguette.

Le Baron Rouge - un bar à vin

Le Baron Rouge

This suspended rack of wine glasses gives the illusion of a chandelier.  

In addition to oysters, 

you can bring your own container 

and buy wine right from the barrel.

Put Le Baron Rouge on your list.

Le Baron Rouge - Poisson d'Avril

Le Baron Rouge

There is a long line on the sidewalk for the freshly shucked oysters on Sundays at Le Baron Rouge.  Last year on April 1st, my husband, Peter (Peter's Paris), and I were there for the salty delicacies.

The French tradition for "April Fools Day" is 

put a paper fish on the back of some unsuspecting person.

Do you see it?

You have two days to cut out your fish... Don't wait.

Le Charolais - les huitres

Le Charolais

Monsieur is selecting oysters

 as the patrons eagerly await these delicacies on the café terrace.

I will be back in Paris soon and will enjoy some oysters here 

and also around the corner at Le Baron Rouge.  

They are deliciously salted by the sea 

and need nothing more than a splash of lemon juice.

Huîtres sur le pouce

At Le Baron Rouge on Rue Théophile Roussel,

people were lined up to eat oysters on the street. 

Monsieur was shucking quickly for the waiting crowd. 

It was as close to a "feeding frenzy" as you will find in Paris.

(Merci, for the correction, mes amies -

I was "eating on the flea" and I meant "eating on the thumb")
