Paris for a Day
On some trips, we end up with a free day in Paris prior to returning to the states, and we never complain! It’s a chance to see what’s new and to visit some favorite spots.

Not the happiest part of what’s new in Paris, we’re encouraged to see the progress

I loved looking at the details of preservation and reconstruction

My favorite pastime walking around Paris – Clet Abraham street art!

Huîtrerie Régis – One of Our Favorites
On our first visit, we were charmed by the experience: the food, the place, the ambiance. When friends ask and when we return, we always try to schedule a visit. This time, we were greeted by a new face.

Edoard Duroselle is that new face, he and his partner Benoit purchased Huîtrerie Régis from retiring Régis. Is it still worth a visit? As we say in Minnesota, You Betcha!

Edoard is a new face at Huitrerie Regis. Regis retired and sold the restaurant to Edoard and his partner Benoit.

What’s New at Huîtrerie Régis
Edoard and Benoit are adding just a few dishes, so non-oyster lovers won’t go away hungry. The kitchen is tiny, so they’ll choose wisely. More notably, they are transitioning the winelist to an organic, biodynamic and natural winelist. Lots of choices for the adventurous wine drinker, but don’t worry, Edoard can point out the classic choices anyone can enjoy.

Organic, biodynamic and natural, but don’t worry. There’s something for everyone.

Biodynamic Petit Chablis that impresses

I’m always ready for an adventure, even it it’s not for everyone.

Need something more traditional? Muscadet Sevre et Maine.

Scallop pate, new on the menu

Benoit is the cheese expert, and he puts together a nice plate for after the oysters.

What’s Not Changing at Huitrerie Regis
The focus on the highest quality, freshest oysters will always be the hallmark at Huitrerie Regis. Smiling fans are sure to remain, and no reservations. As always, you can enjoy a glass of wine while you wait for a table to open!

Not changing: tiny quarters

Happy oyster lovers

Super fresh oysters

Ready for you to enjoy

As fellow fans of Huitrerie Regis, Benoit and Edoard couldn’t let the restaurant slip away. Look for one or both of them on your next visit, say “hi”, wish them the best of luck and tell them hello from me!
