Le Duc is an establishment and top-of-the-line locations in Paris to take pleasure in seafood. The inside, with its gleaming wood-paneled partitions evoking a yacht’s inside, is really one in all a sort. Wes Anderson is rumored to be a daily buyer, and that makes a variety of sense. Sole meunière is the factor to order right here – the fish is introduced entire earlier than being filleted and plated table-side (a lot of the servers used to work as fishermen). Oysters are spectacular at Le Duc, and the carpaccio of dorade is rightfully famend. Personally, I adored my dish of Saint-Pierre in a vodka butter sauce. It felt deliciously old school and I devoured each morsel of it. Desserts like île flottante and baba au rhum are served from a retro rolling cart, and the meal finishes with buttery financiers as mignardises. It’s a dear affair, however the meals is nice and there are considerate touches and cautious service all through the meal.

IN OTHER WORDS
- Michelin Information “Regardless of being within the coronary heart of the left financial institution, you’ll be forgiven for pondering you had been within the cabin of a yacht, filled with seafaring acolytes… Chef Pascal Hélard works with first-rate fish and shellfish and is a consummate craftsman: sole meunière, Brittany lobster in inventory, grilled younger turbot”
- Gayot “In a décor that might have happy each Hemingway and Captain Nemo, Le Duc continues its journey of greater than 30 years purveying the freshest of fish, generally served uncooked or just ready — fried, smoked, grilled, meunière, steamed — in line with the species and the season.”
- Alexander Lobrano “With its jaunty nautical decor–the late nice French restaurant designer Slavik was certainly impressed by one in all Gianni Agnelli’s Riva velocity boats when he set to work right here–and conditionally lordly service, this place is moderately just like the catch-of-the-day oriented little sister of Le Voltaire, one other classic beau-monde monument of a restaurant on the Left Financial institution.”
- Goop “Contemporary and great seafood—served in a eating room that feels just like the captain’s eating room in a ship—justifies the haul to this barely out of the best way establishment (until you’re hoping to hit up the close by Marché aux Puces de Vanves flea market, wherein case it’s handy). The preparations listed below are blessedly easy and unflashy, which additional underlines the persistently glorious high quality of their catch.”
- TimeOut “Behind the blue and white frontage, the wood-panelled eating room with fish drawings on the partitions looks like the inside of a luxurious yacht, an impression enhanced by the affable service. On the menu, nothing however ultra-fresh fish and seafood, merely ready to protect their flavour. One of many first eating places in Paris to servce uncooked fish, Le Duc continues to supply many several types of tatares and carpaccios – look out for the uncooked scallops served from October to Could.”
- Monetary Occasions “On my Friday evening go to, the clientele was distinguished-looking and of a sure age. Among the many males there was a prevalence of navy blazers, the discreet uniform of the Parisian higher crust, whereas the ladies sported the remnants of an low season tan – extra St Lucia than St Tropez, I suspected. It may need been the lighting, however our charming waiter appeared tanned and contemporary off a yacht too.”
