Anyone besides me wander the side streets of Paris humming Bernadette Peters? "Forget where you're from! You're in France--children, come! I'll show you that French joie de vivre!"For my first foray into French cuisine, I gave in to my tourist instincts and found a place referenced in all my cuisine guides: L'Ecailler du Bistrot. Tucked away on Rue Paul Bert, I came steeled against the probability of high prices and limited seating. Happily, a table opened up just as I arrived (around 22h/10pm on a Saturday) and I was able to sit outside with barely any wait.My waiter was incredibly friendly, and strove hard through his broken English and my more-broken French to enlighten me on all the menu highlights. Luckily for both of us, I already (mostly) knew what I wanted: the 3-course lobster formule (€50) which includes an entrée (appetizer) of 12 oysters, plat principal (main course) of 1/2 lobster with pomme frites, and dessert. My gracious waiter let me substitute 6 larger specialty oysters for the 12 in the formule, and alter my dessert choice as well.The oysters I ordered on recommendation of the écailleur (oyster shucker--hoping I spelled that right?) were very meaty, although much more briny than I expected. Not having tried many oysters from Europe yet, though, I will reserve judgement on these for a later date :)Although the wine list only had prices by the bottle, the waiter happily brought a glass of house white (ok, 2 by the end of the meal). My wine palette is grossly underdeveloped, but I thought it paired nicely with both seafood courses.The lobster came out steaming hot with a delicious cream sauce that I ended up sopping up with both the provided bread *and* my fries. The lobster itself seemed a bit dry/overcooked--but again, it may just be that I am unaccustomed to French seafood. I'd definitely try it again to find out :)And a word about fries. This being my first experience with Pomme Frites, I will go ahead and declare them to be the sexier, more sophisticated cousin (or MILF?) of their American counterpart. The outsides were warm, crisp perfection while the texture of the potato within had a buttery silkiness I could never have imagined in the Fast Food Nation. Uber-Nom.For dessert, I substituted in a trio of sorbet (lemon, pineapple, and mango). I'm fairly certain they are made on the premises, as the lemon had enough fresh acidity to rival a Warhead candy. Not quite the palette-cleanser I was anticipating, but the more mellow mango and pineapple evened the dessert out. After a final decaf espresso and a word of thanks to the owner (an energetic woman who was flitting between cutomers at the bistrot and the neighboring Bistrot Paul Bert all night), I was able to amble home in a happy state of seafood sedation :) I will venture to guess that L'Ecailler will be in the regular rotation when I need a night out and/or a seafood fix!
