[Paris 10e] Restaurant Eels

Eels has been on my list of places to try for a few years now, but for one reason or another, we never made it before. We finally went for a weeknight dinner mid-May.

I had the signature lightly smoked eel starter. It’s presented differently than in @naf’s picture 7 years ago, but I suspect the flavors are pretty much the same. Why mess with excellence? Good enough to be alone worth coming back for every so often.

My wife’s white asparagus had a very interesting lemon and mint sabayon.

She really enjoyed her monkfish with spring veggies and a butter sauce with strawberry vinaigrette.

I liked my pork loin with fennel and onions even more than the fish. Sadly, I forgot to snap a picture :slightly_frowning_face:

Neither of us was in the mood for dessert that night, so I have no comments there.


Prices were neither high nor bargain.

Eels now has a place in our rotation, even if not quite at “must return every year” level.
