Janette, bar de la mer: fish and seafood restaurant in the heart of Paris' golden triangle

Lovers of oysters, shellfish and crustaceans, here's a spot that brings an air of the sea to the heart of Paris' golden triangle. Janette, bar de la mer is a trendy address for seafood lovers.

A fisherman's shack has sprung up on theAvenue George V side. The warm atmosphere brings the chill vibe of Cap Ferret to the heart of Paris' elegant golden triangle. Here you are at Janette, bar de la mer, a dynamic address inviting you to enjoy a varied menu to the delight of seafaring gourmets. The menu features everything from seafood platters to ready-made meals, tapas, salads and sandwich snacks, so that lovers of fish, shellfish and crustaceans can enjoy a meal to suit their tastes, appetites and budgets, whether for lunch, an aperitif or dinner.

Of course, oysters are a must, but they're not the only ones. Frogs' legs, fish and chips, spider crab au gratin, sole meunière, roasted lobster: the headliners share the stage. And even when we get closer to dry land, Janette always adds a twist to remind us that the sea is never far away: the dill mayo egg is accompanied by smoked trout roe, the rib-eye is cooked with anchovy butter, while snacked shrimps are part of the Caesar salad. The restaurant boasts a fine selection of wines, but that's not all: at the bar, staff can also create classic cocktails à la carte or on request.

For starters, don't miss the oysters, of which there are 8 varieties on the menu, which kick off this iodized escapade. They're accompanied by shrimp croquettes, which we highly recommend if fig food is your guilty pleasure. We'll then go for the lobster half, concocted according to the rules of the art, as well as the catch of the day, in this case a filet of flounder meunière style. Prices vary according to the fish, but never exceed €28.

When it's time for dessert, Janette continues to tempt us with her Far Breton, Maxi-éclair au café, chocolate mousse and rice pudding by the ladleful. The ice creams that accompany some of these sweet treats are also turbinated in a minute. On this particular day, a pear crumble caught our eye, as did the delightful profiterole, generous without being too heavy, with a lightly sweetened chantilly: we won't leave a crumb.

During the week, Janette is open for lunch and dinner, and you can dine in from 6pm. On weekends, it's open all day long: a place to take note of if you're looking for an iodized stopover in the area!
