Helen

"Founded in 2012, Helen has already made a name for itself among the fish restaurants of well-heeled Paris. The menu features only wild fish sourced from fishermen who bring in the catch of the day on small boats, which is then lovingly and simply prepared. Rather than fussy frills, the goal is to enhance natural seafood flavours (the fish is served raw, grilled, seared on a plancha, steamed, etc.) – heaven for seafood lovers! The menu varies depending on availability, for example a carpaccio of seabream with lemon caviar, marinaded sardines, young turbot roasted in sage and pancetta, red mullet à la meunière… Everything is a masterclass in precision and know-how and some fish are even filleted and served tableside. The elegant dining room, perfectly at one with this understated ethos, sports a modern, minimalist vibe… Helen is the quintessence of elegant simplicity." - Michelin Inspector
