Well, my goodness, we haven't been to 5.9 l'Huitrier (16, rue Sausier-Leroy, 17th, 01.40.54.83.44, closed Sundays and Mondays) in a dog's age. But we needed a place to go for lunch where we could eat light and still have room for ribs and such for dinner.
It looks pretty much the same today* as it did umpteen years ago when we were regulars; great display of oysters and other shellfish outside - I know, I know - June hardly has a "r" in it, but.....
We ordered a dozen #3 speciales and they were plump and good, along with an order of fried anchovies.
Then we three had three mains: my suppions had a taste of antique frying oil I found strange but my wife and friend did not; they split an OK daurade with olive oil and gambas a la plancha, both of which I deemed alright but not heavenly.
With two bottles of Muscadet, three coffees, one prune and no bottled water the bill was 181.00 Euros.
*Our last meal was June 26th, fully paid for.
