Oysters, bread w thinly sliced bacon
Alice C.

We were walking by and saw oysters in the window and decided to pop in. Super tasty very large oysters that as others have said needed no sauce. The proprietor suggested we try one from each region and go around and around and it helped to really discern the difference between each. Also had the bread with thinly sliced bacon which matched perfectly. Plus champagne of course!

Best place for oysters I have ever been in my life! Outstanding quality and service! The place is small so make sure to book ahead you will not regret it!!

Yes, the oysters are as fresh as it gets!

Love love love this seafood joint! I like it as much as l'Huîtrerie Régis, they both served the freshest oysters m, shrimps and sea snails, but Opium also has the hit fish soup which I absolutely love! Highly recommend!

This was the Best Restaurant we dined in in Paris rehabs it was my favorite. The oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious maybe some of the best I have had. The smoked salmon and shrimp were absolutly outstanding and I have never had something similar. insane quality and the owner is very passionate about what he does. Moreover, something I have to mention is the garlic white sauce that comes with shrimp is something out of this world. with perfect balance fatty, acidic and just right compliment with seafood. Overall I had the best dining experience in Paris at this little gem. Although its not super fancy, but its defiantly a must try when in Paris.

I'm a bit ashamed to say, but I did not know the proper technique and information to eat and savor oysters. The owner here gave a brief lesson on technique and made the dinner that much more enjoyable. (My taste buds definitely thanked me) Also ordered the smoked salmon, not a huge fan of other smoked salmon dishes I have had but wa-wa-wee-wa this was a damn tasty smoked salmon. Good curated wine selection offered to go with the meal. Small restaurant, if in Paris and looking for fresh Oysters and a friendly host, this is a must stop.

I had a great experience here on my last night in Paris. We walked in for a lighter dinner at around 9:30 and were promptly seated by a very nice woman. She went on to talk about what their specialties were and what not to miss. What drew us in we're the oysters, so we ordered a dozen and let the chef pick a mix of different types along with a bottle of champagne. By he end of it, we also ordered the seafood platter, bread with lardon, and 4 more oysters. It was a memorable meal, I would definitely recommend and come back here myself.

3 different grades of oysters

We went to Opium la Cabane during our stay in Paris last summer. It is a very small and simplistic place (around 5 tables) that had the best oysters I have tried. Some of them were almost the size of my hand!! They were extremely fresh, and the gentleman serving us taught us how to properly eat them. We also tried the sea-snails which were fabulous. This place is definitely on my list of restaurants to go back to when we come to Paris again.

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!

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

I have mixed feelings about Bistro des Augustins. On the one hand, it provided me some of the most…read morecomforting and delicious food that I enjoyed in Paris. On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.
