Description:
Opened in 1872, this landmark is one of Paris's leading seafood restaurants. It's so devoted to the fine art of preparing fish that other food is banned from the menu (the staff will verbally present a limited roster of meat dishes). The decor consists of a collection of Lalique crystal fish in artificial aquariums. Even more unusual are the restrooms, classified as historic monuments; the Art Nouveau master cabinetmaker Majorelle designed the commodes in the early 1900s. Much of the seafood is flown in from Brittany daily. Examples include flaky crab cakes, flash-fried scallops with black truffles, sautéed wild squid, and grilled John Dory. Nothing (no excess butter, spice, or salt) is allowed to interfere with the natural flavor of the sea.

Glad I ignored the reviews

I didn't find Goumard to be as stiff-serviced and poor-foody as other reviews have suggested. It was a good alternative to Au Pied du Cochon. That's where we usually go for...
