Garnier

Opposite sculptor Arman's famous pendulums that stand in the forecourt of the Gare Saint-Lazare in the 8th district, this authentic institution of Paris life, which has always specialized in fish dishes, has just had a face-lift. The service and the quality of the seafood menu are equally terrific. The shellfish bar is a promise of culinary pleasures in itself. The wine list is rich in very good white wines ideally suited to the cuisine.
