Le Pêcheur

Frommer's Review

Popular and appealing, and in a frenetic neighborhood where establishments are more commonly either one or the other, Le Pêcheur has long combined elegant simplicity of presentation with a steely focus on freshness and taste. Flowers adorn tables set on a marble floor in the airy, tranquil dining room. There's also a mural ceiling, and enough space between tables to stretch a little. A romantic courtyard garden is perfect for summer dining. Dishes are prepared in Dutch, continental, and international styles. In season, come for the coquilles Saint-Jacques scallops, the mussels and oysters from the southern Dutch province of Zeeland, and the house-smoked salmon. You could also try poached brill with onion sauce, the fried wolffish with light mustard sauce, or sashimi; the wine list gives plenty of choice for accompaniment. Beef tournedos are available as an alternative to seafood.
