A renowned adddress whose menu follows the random results of the day’s catch, the restaurant Le Duc specializing in fish and seafood since 1967 continues to whet the appetites of discerning gourmets. Quality and freshness are the bywords of this top-notch establishment where the fish, shell-fish and seafood all come from French coasts, caught by independent fishermen. Brittany lobster, Belon oysters and line-caught sea-bass are beautifully presented with a focus on simple preparation and precise cooking times, while the excellent service spiked with an extra touch of elegance adds further charm to these enticing dishes. A special mention for the homemade desserts which arrive in the dining-room on a wooden trolley, and especially the irresistible “îles flottantes”. So chic ! Le Duc, 243 boulevard Raspail, Paris 14 (01 43 20 96 30).
