Our Guestbook
“ Absolutely fantastic experience. The oysters were extremely juicy and meaty. The fish was out of this world and the Meunière sauce was executed at a godly level. The Mille-feuille was the perfect finish for an unforgettable dinner. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome at all times. ”
“ The surprise “not so surprising” of our trip. I read and heard a lot of good things about Le Duc, but we weren’t expecting it to be that good. Being big seafood lovers we are always looking out for the best spots and this is definitely among them. From the moment we walked in we were treated extremely well. The clams with wasabi and the langoustine tartar were out of this world. The sole blew my mind, about perfection, all paired with some great champagne. We even got our Michelin guide signed by the owner, you guys rock! We will come back over and over again ”
“ Great traditional high end seafood. For our meal, I think they forgot our main courses (no apologies either) until we reminded them, so it took a while longer and ended up being a 2.5 hour dinner. Otherwise service was very friendly and good. ”
“ This was probably the best meal I ever recall enjoying. This is French culinary arts at its finest. The food is primarily seafood. Here are my recommendations: For appetizers: langoustine with wasabi. calamari with garlic. sea bass with garlic toast. shrimp with shisho and uni cream. crab salad. For entrees: gougenette de sole. john dory with vodka butter. sole meunière. langoustine with ginger. lobster with orange sauce. saffron and langoustine with tagliatelle. I had the sea bass with garlic toast. Very light but primed the palate. I followed with Sole meunière. My wife Amy enjoyed the langostine tartare with Iranian loomi and followed with the lobster in orange butter sauce. Photos of the mains are attached. Desert was mixed fruit and cappuccino. Service was impeccable. Not inexpensive but well worth the cost of the meal. If I were visiting Paris, I would suggest booking this restaurant ahead of time. You do not want to visit Paris without dining here at least once! ”
“ We found this spot by accident. Didn’t have any reservations but they were kind enough to let us in at 8.30pm. We had the langusitine- absolutely perfect , well cooked and not over cooked. We met another lovely couple and conversations were good. The waiter was fabulous , we even took a picture with him afterwards. I highly recommend ”
“ So all my stars go for the team that found the table last minute, not by the bar. But…it is actually just a bistro with a full restaurant price. Because, first of all, the dishes have no creativity in them. Secondly, the service is just in taking your order and delivering it sooner or later to the table. You need to catch them. Advice to the guests: do not take the green salad. It is very cheap simple leaves and….that’s it. I had to ask for a vinegar or smth, as it is like literally just leaves… Like the ones you get half kilo in a simple grocery next to you. They did wash it. I’d go for the raws and the mains. We really thought it will be like Langosteria in Milan but even they add some personal touch to the dish. The monkfish Provençal was chewy. ”
