    If you read about Les Halles in Le Ventre de Paris (1873) by Emile Zola you would know of the place…read morewhere fresh food was wholesaled. Perhaps I was crazy to imagine a spectacular view of halls after halls of the fresh seafoods, meats or poultrys. It inspired me so much it sent us on a roadtrip from Belgium at 11 PM, we were running behind for Rungis that opened from 1-5 AM. We reached Rungis Marche International a city on its own at 2 AM. The market was just slowing awakening and alive with fresh food. We drove around these enormous buildings the size of convention centers, it was so confusing we had to consult the site map. The halls opened in cascading fashion 1 hall per hour we were told by the Chefs the seafood hall would open first. When we arrived I was literally speechless at the sheer number of wholesalers proudly displaying their seafood: fresh boxes of sea urchins, scallops on shells, trouts so fresh they were shining and live shrimps still jumping. At the poultry and game hall, fresh chickens/squab/ ducks/ pheasants/ rabbits/ were displayed. The poultry all cleaned except retaining the head and feather around the neck to show its freshness. The cases of foie gras, pates and charcuterie were just mouth wateringly attractive. We ventured into the Triperie where the organs, trotters and other stuff were sold. It was quite amazing to see the standard of hygiene and lack of foul smell you would imagine from a place as such. The same was for the meat hall it was clean and odorless - I never saw more beef, lamb or pork in my life!! I was glad to have made this trip.

Their specialties Cooked seafood but the raw seafood is good as well. The price is fair and the services is awsome:) Just remember to take your time to eat and to savour the meal. Remember in Paris when French people eat their meals is not 30 mins but 2 hours:) I won't ays too much it is for you to discover and to explore the best.

It's also loud and crazy busy and I've been told that an hour or two wait is not uncommon. The portions are massive. We ordered 3 plates for 5 adults and 2 kids and still had some leftovers. Did you read that??? Leftovers. These guys do something that is still pretty unique in France. They offer you a way to take what you didn't eat home. It shouldn't be noteworthy but around here it is. Sadly they're not that good at it. If you like their fries and expect that the two large portions that you did not eat will be included in that leftover bag you will be mistaken. And the price. I might be a cheapskate but considering the wait and the volume 150 something Euros was a little more than I expected for a meal like this. Sangria was awesome. May be fortified with a little whiskey. No reservations and the parking sucks!

I settled on the Hal's crab and hubby had the Langoustine Ravioli, which was supposed to be a sharing size. The crab was cold but visually pleasing. There was not much seasoning so the mayo dipping sauce made for a bland tasting dish for me. Hubby enjoyed his Ravioli but the three small pieces did not really seem like a sharing size. Overall nice Paris experience but I definitely left there and ordered some takeout to fill in my empty space.

We ordered the seafood tower (whole stone crab, langostine, 6 oysters (3 local varieties), tiny fried shrimp in a cup, ten or so whelks. We also had the shrimp roll, a delectable sea bass ceviche, a bowl of tiny mussels in curry broth that was just SO delicious and a whole pan fried sea bream atop a thin cushion of pea purée and topped with red cabbage & carrot. Everything was superb and our server was swift and smiling throughout the evening. The restaurant itself is small & charming with a simple rustic feel. We felt it was undiscovered but it's likely it was just a slow night on a drizzly evening. I'd certainly recommend a visit!
