Les Fables de la Fontaine, 131, rue St-Dominique in the 7th, 01.44.18.37.55, open 7/7 (Metro: Pont d'Alma) is a fish-oriented place, not that they don't have duck and beef as well, but our dining partners wanted seafood before a big dinner ahead. So this looked like a good option to us.
They started us off with two great types of bread: focaccia with drizzled EVOO and pepper and crusty dark bread. Then we 4 shared the entrée du jour of sautéed cepes and salad.
Then we went our ways: with Colette having maigre with molded mélange of vegetables, J had the aioli of lieu with a lot of vegetables and M and I had raie a la grenobloise and croutons with spinach. All were quite fine.
Our bill, with the equivalent of two bottles of wine, their filtered water and 3 coffees, was 261 E or 130.50 E a couple.
*The service, that is the delivery of dishes and clearing of "dirty ones" as well as resupplying of glasses of wine was glacially slow. The wait-folks were bilingual and very nice, but the kitchen seemed over-burdened although the place was hardly full.
