2025 Update: Finally we are back in Paris and of course we could not wait to get back to HSP for another memorable dining experience. We were welcomed by Victor and Charles, who both made us feel right at home. We sat outside, across from the old church, ate oysters & salmon, drank fine French wine, and enjoyed great conversations - mission accomplished! We even made time to walk over to Balzac's old house/museum for a little literary inspiration! The food at HSP was every bit as good as it was last year, and we have no doubt that we will keep coming back to this favorite spot of ours for lunches and dinners!
We just had the best lunch of our trip, by far. Gabriel and Vincent took such great care of us, making us feel right at home. And the quality of the seafood was off the charts! So delicious. The best oysters I have had in years. And the salmon and tuna were phenomenal. Everything prepared just right - very elevated but also reasonably priced. The restaurant is charming and located in a lovely area for walking before or after the meal. There's a beautiful old church right across the street.. very visual. There's outdoor seating if you want to soak it all in. And the home/museum of the French writer Balzac is just steps away, if you're looking for a memorable excursion... the Metro is very close too. We cannot wait to come back.
Update: we went back and it was every bit as good as the first time. We met the chef François and he was wonderful. Our server Alicia could not have been nicer. We really enjoyed our conversations with her. And it was a real pleasure to meet Timothy who is a real class act. He is the best. This is the type of restaurant that you want to come back to over and over again. Hopefully we’ll have time to return for one more visit while we are still in Paris.
Update: we’ve been back a few more times and this is officially our favorite restaurant in Paris! You cannot beat the oysters, salmon, and wine! Special shout out to Elizabeth. She has an amazing knowledge of wine and food, and treats us so very kindly. Her smile is heartwarming. She and Alicia make quite the team. The entire team here is perfect. If you want to dine like a local who has good taste...

Read moreWhat a find! We walked to Huîtres et Saumons de Passy and arrived ready to enjoy our meal. We were warmly greeted and given a choice of table. (Wish we had seen that the door to the "toilettes" was right there.) The menu is just the right size- not too many choices and many were appealing. Two of us chose the pavé de saumon/sauce saboyan and the pommes de terre mille feuille. Simply superb! The potatoes are thinly slices and arrive in a browned rectangle. They could not have been better. The salmon was cooked perfectly, succulent and bursting with flavor. The 3rd member of our party ordered the tataki de thon, beautifully plated and cooked perfectly. I ordered their home-made ice cream: one scoop of vanilla and one of chocolate- not too sweet and incredibly creamy with a depth of flavor. The servers, the "maître de", everyone working were warm, professional, and attentive to the perfect degree- no hovering, but there when we needed them. We heard Spanish, English, and French spoken- and the noise level was very low, the ambiance ideal for a lovely...
