Restaurant offering à la carte seafood products at reasonable prices.
To be honest, it was the name that caught our eye: Seulement Sea. Carnivores can turn back; here they'll find nothing but seafood on the menu (oysters, whelks, mussels and scallops in season...). When we visited in spring, the chef was sending out daily specials of tempura shrimp and poached ling fillet with lemon sauce. Later, in autumn, you could partake of Aquitaine caviar or feast on tuna with chimichurri sauce, accompanied by potatoes, or cod with aioli. Fishing at reasonable prices!

This is the best food we've had so far in the five days we've been in Paris. I speak passable French but my husband doesn't speak any. The waiter was kind and understanding and even translated for my husband. We are from the PNW in the US and love our seafood, this was one of the best seafood meals we've had. Don't miss this place!

Food is delicious in general. Service is also good since this is a smaller place. I will say prices are a bit too high in my opinion. Portions are a bit on the smaller side.
C'est un petit restaurant spécialisé dans les fruits de mer. Nous avions envie de moules frites, donc c'était un choix parfait.
La serveuse était sympathique et attentionnée, ce qui a été apprécié - elle nous a commencé avec de la tapenade d'olives offerte par la maison, salée et savoureuse. Nous avons ensuite eu le plateau de partage, les bulots étaient vraiment frais et savoureux, les crevettes étaient sucrées et les trempettes et les pains allaient bien ensemble. Le saumon me convenait.
Nous avons commandé 3 moules frites différentes, la standard sans crème, une avec de la crème et une avec du fromage. Parmi les 3, nous avons le plus aimé la crème car elle était la plus équilibrée. Celui au fromage était bon pour les premières bouchées mais est rapidement devenu un peu riche, et celui au vin standard était un peu normal à manger.
Les moules étaient petites mais très sucrées et la sauce à la crème était délicieuse. J'y trempais des frites et du pain sans arrêt et j'avais pratiquement fini toute la sauce à la fin. Les frites étaient vraiment excellentes, croustillantes et pomme de terre et elles sont restées croustillantes même jusqu'à la fin.
C'était un peu cher mais pour le quartier et la qualité, ça vaut le coup pour un bon repas. Comptez environ 35 à 40 € par personne.
Je reviendrais la prochaine fois que nous reviendrons à Paris !

We tried coming here on a Saturday evening but they were unfortunately fully booked, however managed to come again on a Tuesday evening and got a table. Probably best to book in advance!
It’s a small ish restaurant focusing on seafood - we had a craving for moules frites so this was a perfect choice.
The female server was friendly and attentive which was appreciated - she started us off with some olive tapenade which was on the house, salty and tasty. We then had the sharing platter, the whelks were really fresh and tasty, prawns were sweet and the dips and breads went well together. Salmon was ok for me.
We ordered 3 different moules frites, the standard one without cream, one with cream and one with cheese. Out of all 3, we liked the cream one the most as it was the most balanced. The cheese one was nice for the first few bites but quickly got a bit rich, and the standard wine one was a bit normal to eat.
The mussels were small but very sweet and the cream sauce was delicious. I was dipping fries and bread in it non stop and pretty much finished all the sauce by the end. The fries were really great, crispy and potatoey and they stayed crispy even till the end.
It was a bit pricy but for the area and quality, it’s worth it for a nice meal. Expect around €35-40 each person.
Would visit next time we’re back in Paris!
