Can someone recommend a good fish restaurant in central Paris? I%26#39;d like to eat a rascasse while I%26#39;m there, prefer not to pay more than 30 euro.
Additionally, which is the best chocolatier for buying Easter somethings for my niece? Will need flowers and ribbons and lots of foil and cellophone, natch. Single-estate snob chocolate shops need not apply.
Finally, small scruffy bar in Montmartre backstreets with no other tourists where I can get coffee and croissant in the morning for four euro or less?
Gratefully yours . . .

Chantal,
Regarding chocolates for your niece...
The “Grande Epicerie” at Bon Marché any time of year is a delight for the senses. Plus, for the holidays they usually have lots of seasonal items. I’m sure you’d find something original and beautifully packaged there for your niece.
Closer to where you are staying is “A La Petite Fabrique”. This is a family-owned, handmade chocolate shop. Always with cute moulds for Easter. 12 rue Saint-Sabin. 75011.
Joséphine Vannier (4 rue Pas de la Mule 75004) has artsy chocolate designs and is near my shop. If you’re in the neighborhood, go and admire her window and then do come by Tumbleweed to say hello.
In France you won’t find so many chocolate bunnies. Fish and bells and hens are more traditional.

It%26#39;s interesting this divide between northern Europe where they do bunnies and southern europe where it%26#39;s fish.
|||
In France Easter eggs are traditional.

I had Rascasse at Le Comptoir on Rue Montorgueil, unfortunately it was the daily special, absolutely delicious. Even if it is not on I would recommend eating whatever is on daily special, I have never been dissapointed
About 5 doors down there is a big chocolatier, cant remember the name, it has a wide assortment of chocolate eggs, bunnies and fish.

It is Stohrer.

It may be too snobby, but Maison du Chocolat blew me away a few years ago... Seven locations in Paris.

I%26#39;m dying to go back for this 2 euro cookie I had there... wish I knew what it was called.

normalguy, not snobby at all. Maison du Chocolat is hands down my favorite place in Paris to buy chocolate ANYTHING. The original store at 225 r. Faubourg St. Honore is as beautiful as a jewelry store and it smells like heaven.

Just reaching for notebook here . . . still looking for that bar in Montmartre to have breakfast in . . .
