Had the pleasure of finding this little restaurant when in Paris . Food was delicious and fresh. Our waiter, maybe owner was very nice taking our orders from google maps menu pictures . The place was quiet and no tourist but us. The prices were reasonable given the freshness of the seafood . My family loved. Would have definitely gone back to it if we had more time in Paris.

Adorable owner, delicious food. Sea food Platter for one person was so big, that it took me two hours to finish it great quality of products, cosy terrace. And a gentleman behind the kitchen bar offered me his charger which was great since I didn’t know how to get home and my phone died. Very much recommend! Of course with french fries :)

When we visit Paris, we always have dinner at Le Zinc de Clovis. It's so nice and cozy, and the seafood is super fresh and delicious! I'm actually surprised that this place doesn't have that many reviews because it's amazing! We especially like crab claws, dorado, and shrimp skewers!

Great place for seafood. Typical small Parisian restaurant with a blackboard menu, where everything is prepared in-house from scratch. Everything was fresh and delicious. Fish soup was amazing. Highly recommend.
