    Seafood medley with rice for two People
    Don F.

    There's a sparse selection of seafood restaurants in the vicinity of the Champs Élysées in Paris and, we just happened to find ourselves a short walk from this one after exiting the evenings entertainment. Aesthetically, the restaurant is lacking in the charm of the surrounding eateries and the classic outdoor cafes of Paris. And once inside, the tables are bustling with loud and animated conversations. Every table is filled and there's a short wait at the door. The place is too busy for pleasantries, as the wait staff is continually rushing and even so, it was a long twenty minutes before our order was taken. Taken in all, the ambiance earns just 2 stars. These first impressions would have me rating the restaurant at best a 3 stars, but the shear effort the wait staff is expending to service the masses crammed inside, together with the lightening speed our order came to the table, once the order was taken, earns the service 4 stars. The key here is patience. And so, we come to the food. First the negative. My advice is; Firstly, don't order beef when you come to a seafood restaurant. But, if you must, don't order the "steak chop", bone in steak. That is unless you enjoy an un-aged, gristly, piece of meat that's very difficult to cut through all the connective tissue. Just don't. But, we came for the seafood and there, the restaurant rewarded us with a tasty and well prepared selection of the ocean's fruits. The cuttlefish was some of the best I've had. Grilled to delicate perfection. The split lobster was quite delicious. Stone crab, head on shrimp and Langostino, we're also quite good. The muscles however, we're a bit dry. I don't think muscles should ever be served without a supporting broth of some sort. And, the accompanying seafood rice and shredded potatoes were very flavorful. The dish as pictured is a serving for two and easily feeds 3 or 4. The place does not skimp on quantity. I suggest you order on the conservative side unless you want to take leftovers with you. For the caliber of the seafood and the huge servings, and very fair pricing, I give the restaurant 4 stars for the food, and I subtract a star for the steak. In conclusion, if Yelp allowed the option, I would rate the restaurant 3 1/2 overall.

    This is one of the those restaurants every tourist goes to because it makes a great Instagram photo. Long lines for seating but they are fairly quick with two levels. Seafood is definitely a great value and portion size is huge. We were super stuffed eating out platter. They have hot and cold platters so you should decide which one you want.

    Rate; 4.5 Very Popular Seafood Restaurant at Champs Elysees , Reasonable Price for Seafood, Always need line up but it goes very Fast as second floor has Big Space which can not see it from Outside! We order Seafood Platter (2 Full Lobster and 1 Full Crab) and Steak with Fries.. Plus Drinks for 3 person which very satisfied with Quality....Total cost Euro $120 For sure will be back again into next trip to Paris...

    Good restaurants with good atmosphere and I enjoyed for MU every visit. This is the 2nd time I visited it.

    Everything was good ~ it was the best surf and turf that we had. There was no wait when we arrived.

    I come here every time I go to Paris, the seafood is amazing. This place gives such large portions of food which you don't find often in France. Love everything about this place except they don't take reservations, so there's always a wait to be seated but I promise it's worth the wait!!! bon appétit

    Frances S.

    Everything so good!! Must try at local....Seafood plater is the best .. we will definitely wanna come back!

    Grilled Prawns

    Overall the food was great! However, be sure to bring your appetite! This seafood gem in the Champs-Elysses neighborhood is everything we thought it would be. The menu consists of 85% seafood and about 10% beef/steak, and 5% everything else. The portions of the food are family style. This means that there will be a lot of food on the plate, often enough for at least 3 people. For example, we got the grilled prawns. We ended up getting 8 ENORMOUS prawns and a bowl of shrimp on the middle. It also came with seafood soup. I also ordered the Steak and Shrimp Skewer. Again, the amount of food on the skewer was enough for at least 3 people (and this was half an order)! Their cocktails are okay, so room to improve on that front, however they do have a long list of of beers and wine to make up for the cocktail list. In terms of the service, they move fast once you're seated (i.e., the food comes quick). But the wait will be relatively long depending on the time of day (around 10-15 minutes). The ambiance is on the more medium side (i.e, not really upscale). The crowd consists mostly of tourists, local university students and young professionals. Additionally, this place has a bit of a local vibe. Unlike most of the restaurants in the area, the staff doesn't really speak any other language outside of French very well. However, they all do have some decent understanding of English. So, in other words, be prepared to speak French!

    I wanted a seafood feast and Pedra Alta provided. It can be a little hectic. There was a large line out front when we arrived. Go inside for a number. They call them out in French and I had to Google search "46 in French". Once inside, we chose to sit upstairs but I don't think it made a difference. It's a little cramped and loud. Most of the menu is platters for splitting. We chose to start with some cod fritters (pairs wonderfully with their house made aioli) and split a grilled seafood platter for 2. The platter was huge, huuuuuge. It came with french fries but also little shoestring fries, potato aficionados rejoice. The lobster was a little overcooked, but the giant prawns were perfect. I also loved the squid skewers. The smaller shrimp were good but a pain to peel and mussels so plentiful I don't think any two people could ever finish. It was fine but probably not worth the wait and not good enough to warrant going back. Protip: The Seine is very close so have a post dinner bridge walk to work off some of the calories.

    Big salad. Yummy.
    Michel F.

    Some things are very nice like the big salad but I was a bit disappointed by the platter which was overcooked and dry as a result.

    poor poooorrrr pooooooooorrrr service.... another one of those places where tourists like to go even when they treat you like shit. they like to put asian people on the first floor in the crowded area like a bunch of puppies in a cage to be sold. asked for tap water and they were like IT'S COMING! and by the time we finish our meal, we never got our water. the huge seafood plate is pretty big - enough for 3 people since it comes with soup and fries on the side. i know they don't care for tip since service charge is already included but can you at least treat us like humans? definitely learned my lesson... all those bloggers that claim this place is delicious must have received some sort of commission fee - the menu is all in french... no english so order by just looking at the picture.

    Pedra's Seafood Platter - fit for a king.
    Joy M.

    The seafood specialties here are so lip smackingly delicious that we went there for lunch and dinner 4 times during our short stay in Paris. The dishes seem to be cooked with the same dose of love that you'd find at home. Pedra Alta truly respects the Portuguese tradition for grilled seafood with an abundance of garlic and olive oil seasoning. Be prepared to eat (a lot!) with their massive portions, laugh and love Pedra Alta forever! And most of all, be prepared to feel at home with their unique style of hospitality. Tip: Avoid the tourists at the Champs Elysées branch, and head over to their branch in Boulogne for a more authentic feel. Be prepared to wait in line, too! This place takes no reservations in advance.

This place rated high on both. It was early about 6:00 and very few customers. We were seated without reservation, by 7 this place was jumping surely u would need one by then. Charming restaurant but they pack u in a little tight. Seems like this is standard in Paris. Customer Service Julien out waiter was the best. Very attentive and friendly, no rushing. Little language problem but I pointed to menu and he helped me pick my entree. He was great. Assortment of cheese Very good Rigatoni with truffle sauce topped with shaved cheese Did not look like much but the truffle sauce had rich flavor. Veal chop with chanterelle mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Wow never tasted anything like these beautiful flavors. Going to make this dish at home. Brioche French toast with salted butter caramel and ice cream. Too sweet for me but delicious, my honey loved it. Plating Lots of pride here. If I am ever in Paris in Avenue De Champs Elysees I would come here again u should to. This was a perfect dining experience. I would rate this place a 10 if I could.

Wish I had something (other than the bread) to soak it up! + Lasagna Bolognese - Tried a littttle bit of it and it was solid.
