Well, for starters, considering that they put it in the name of the place, I would think you might want to start with<BR><BR>le Bar(s) &agrave; Hu&icirc;tres (several locations)<BR>http://www.lebarahuitres.com/us/index.html<BR><BR>and, this might be worth your while, if you're made of money...<BR><BR>Guy Savoy<BR>$$$$ W<BR>Modern and seasonal cooking bearing the unforgettable mark of a great chef can be found at this Paris Mecca. This is one of Paris restaurants' shining stars. Guy Savoy has defined his signature style and it includes such absolute winners as huitres en nege glac&eacute;e (oysters on cream with jellied oyster liquor topping) and grilled sea bass. The desserts are heavenly, as well.<BR>18 rue Tryon<BR>17th Arr<BR>Metro: Charles de Gaulle-Etoile<BR>Open: Mon-Fri noon-2:30pm and 7:30-10:30pm,<BR>Sat 7:30-10:30pm<BR>Closed: Sat lunch and Sun<BR>Credit AMEX, DC, V<BR>Email: [email protected]<BR><BR>http://ww...aris_res17.cfm<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

I don't remember the name of the street but it is a famous old restaurant called Prunier's. I tasted my first sea urchin there.

I've had some good ones at Le Dalou, 30 Place de la Nation. Very nice and very reasonable -- away from the tourists, but an interesting neighborhood. For a pic, etc.:<BR><BR>http://www.igougo.com/planning/journalEntryDining.asp?JournalID=3126&EntryID=2160 <BR><BR>Bon appetit!

Cafe du Marche on rue Cler has a beautiful little oyster bar just outside the restaurant.
