This was bad! Our waiter explained that 
"Ooh we had busy lunch, just so busy we have nothing left." Then why the fuck were you even open for dinner service? Pure greed, that's why.
We started with 6 oysters ( $40 dollars really?) and crab ( 2 pieces) gazpacho done in a canned tomato juice broth. ( $ 20 ) We wanted seafood! But our choices were limited to zilch & nada .The bottle of champagne we wanted ( of the 3 offered) they were out of. They had NOTHING that contained lobster available. Of the 18 menu items that had crab? Only two were available; the 5 mini claws for dinner ( $40 ) and gazpacho. They were even out of French fries! They're name should've been 
"No crab Royal." We left $ 200 poorer & starving! 
Beautiful area but don't waste your time at this restaurant & good luck finding a cab when you're done!

Came by here for lunch twice during a week in Paris and had two delicious meals seated out front.  The service was English speaking friendly and they were exceptionally nice to my toddler so that was a big reason for our return.

The food is delicious and we ordered assorted dishes to sample as much as we could.  Opening the meal with Champagne and crab rilletes was the type of thing we came to Paris for!  Both visits I got the lobster roll in Japanese and Norwegian style which were great and an improvement over the American lobster rolls we are used to.  My daughter got the excellent crab cakes and my wife enjoyed the salads.  We never tried dessert since so many other sweets places are nearby.  

The cost is high but not outrageous, treat yourself!

Amazing. I'd been wanting king crab for weeks, after a planned trip to Las Vegas was cancelled.  This appears to be the best place to get King Crab in Paris, and doesn't disappoint.  It is a really nice restaurant generally (nice ambiance, staff speak English and are welcoming regardless of one's limited French), but the focus is definitely on crab.  I had crab cake as well as the "tasting menu" of king crab prepared 3 ways; while it wasn't anywhere near the quantity I'd get back in the US ($40/kg at Costco), it was prepared better than I've ever had crab before.  I will definitely come back when I'm in Europe and looking for crab.

Then I say Bravo, not so much for the quality of food but especially for a perfectly orchestrated marketing concept.

First, you place "Royal" in your name, it immediately pretty rocks! You are settling place Madeleine, you can only be good fellowships. You take a filthy animal (the Kamchatka crab) which is an ecological disaster but with fine flesh and you sell it as the best crab in the world. It's bag and tag!

Its good ? Let's be honest, it's not bad. Whether it is declined with a little olive oil and yuzu, cebette (name more nice than scallion, and prescribed by Alain Ducasse) or caramelized miso, it is tasted sweetly.

The only problem lies in the economic equation. The Russian authorities (among others) limit fishing to keep prices high while this invasive species should be eradicated massively from the Barents sea because devours everything in its path. But that would lower prices and bring crustaceans back to their true value.

Since you all have a doctorate in geography, you immediately realized that there is a kilometer between Barents and Kamchatka. Indeed, the ugly decapoda was implanted by the equally ugly Father of Nations (he knew it as "crab") to provide a new market for Russian fishermen.

You see what I mean ? Not complicated. 37 euros the declension of 3 clamps, it is literally overpriced. At this price, I go to my fishmonger order a breton crab, a dozen oysters, a few whelks, I emulsify a little homemade mayonnaise (mustard yuzu lemon for example).

While there, I go out, I'm hungry! And a little bit angry.

What serves bread, between matsot and Wasa, adds nothing.

Conclusion? You want to make it chic, costly, Kamchatka, crab and cuenta shock? This place is for you.

This is a very good seafood restaurant near Madeleine. The food is all very fresh and delicious. Service is friendly and attentive. Ambiance is clean rustic, feels like it's supposed to be out of the 1950's. The prices are on the high side, though given the quality of the seafood it feels justified.the rolls are all good value comparatively and delicious.

We stopped in to try a couple of appetizers (including the ceviche) and then dinner. For the main course we got the crab roll with the curry sauce and the miso crab soup. Everything was amazing and the miso soup was decent. Definitely loved the place, they were so nice with my lack of French, and were so polite. Definitely worth a stop for dinner.

The best restaurant in Paris. The staff is wonderful. Literally everything is delicious. The wine is also great and perfectly paired with nearly anything you order. We wish we could have stayed here permanently or that there was a hotel above. We will come back as soon as possible and wish it was open during 14/7/2017- a holiday. Could not have asked for more. Favorite restaurant in Paris- hands down.

I loved this little place. The service was super friendly and helpful.  The crab was delicious. I regret not trying the crab roll.  Its so simple and full of crab.  Crab is best when served simply in my opinion.

Stumbled upon this place by accident coming off a three hour train ride and hotel check in... and wow did it restore my energy and then some. Just a wonderfully bright ambiance and THE BEST sandwich I've ever had. Great service on top of the extensively excellent food means I'll be back repeatedly until we leave!

The food and service were outstanding. We were only in town for a couple days and this was the best meal we had the entire time. We ordered the smoked salmon with lentil and the smoked king crab with lentil and we loved it. I personally thought the king crab was better than the salmon. We had the oysters for an appetizer and they were fantastic. The first waitress (blonde hair) we had was the best. Another waitress (brunette) took over when the other waitress left and she wasn't aware of her surroundings at all. She was just faxing out the window and it was hard to get her attention which is very surprising because the place is pretty small. We were originally going to eat a couple of restaurants down the way but the people there didn't give us the time of day so I'm extremely thankful for the experience we had with service and the food. If I make it back to Paris I will definitely come back.
