A 200-Year-Old Seafood Gem Recommended by a French Grandpa

Stumbled upon this hidden treasure in Paris thanks to a dapper silver-haired local—and oh boy, it’s worth the hype! 💡 Budget-friendly luxury: ~€40-50/pax (starter + main + dessert, sans alcohol) 💡 Fresh-as-it-gets seafood—especially their oysters! (Check last pic for menu) 🦪 Why you’ll love it: Oysters delivered daily from the coast (+ divine clams & prawns). Must-tries: Crêpes, ice cream, and their creamy mushroom risotto. Pair with the house white wine and a mojito—summer vibes unlocked! 🏛 History buffs, lean in: Name: Au Rocher de Cancale (opened in 1804—yes, Napoleon-era!). Survived empire collapses, ownership changes, and a 1847 relaunch with original Art Deco façades (now a protected historic monument). 📍 78 Rue Montorgueil, 75002 Paris 📸 Photogenic alleyway seating—perfect for that "Old Paris" Instagram shot. #ParisEats #LocalSecrets #HistoricBites #SeafoodHeaven #FoodieTime #TravelGram #OysterLovers #ParisHiddenGems
