Le Bocal de la poissonnerie des halles

Amazing experience, food, drinks and value. Complimentary amuse bouche to start. Madagascan jumbo shrimp, spider crab legs , Jumbo crab legs, Bottle of LP, whole baked sole, vegetable and cucumber/rice for circa €160. Everything was delicious. Service was friendly, helpful and food was staggered in such a way that we were there for over two hours just savouring every moment. You can basically create your own seafood platter with a huge range of options. Really special meal. The best meal I have had in a while.

Came here for lunch on Saturday, 9 August and enjoyed every moment of it. Our waiter Laura was very friendly, patient and attentive considering we dont speak a single word of French. Ordered the no 2 oysters, tapas, hot clams, sashimi and wasabi tobiko roe and they all tasted delicious and fresh. The oysters had some sweet taste to them and honestly i could have asked for more! We were offered to either sit outside or inside and we chose inside as it was pretty hot and we were the only ones inside. Air conditioning was a plus and all in all a lovely experience 😋

You don't expect a restaurant at all. But do make a reservation and be surprised. Lots of seafood, cooked to perfection. Loved the oysters. And the wine they recommended was perfect for what we ordered. It's a gem. Don't know for sure I want to share this...

This was the second time we visited Le Bocal (first time was in 2022) This time I even planned our route via Reims so we could eat here. The service is always superb, reservation is easily made. The waiters all speak english, so your order will be taken correctly! You can even make up your own platter with the waiter. He or she will give certain suggestions and you just have choose! Service always comes with a smile, and the food is just amazing!

We ordered different seafood as appetizers and main courses, each ingredient was very fresh, the shrimp was sweet, the oysters were well seasoned, the scallops and fish for the main course had just the right texture. Reservation in advance, the wine list is reasonable priced, recommended!

We had a spectacular meal. The service was great, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!!!

We arrived too late on Friday night to eat, but decided to come back on Saturday morning to pick up some oysters, to take home for dinner that night. We made a selection of the six different types of oysters on offer, they were expertly shut for us and packaged on ice so we could take this back to Germany with us. Would definitely recommend, service was friendly, and the seafood looked really fresh.

We went for lunch to Le Bocal yesterday (Saturday) and absolutely loved it. The seafood was exceptional, and full of flavor. The restaurant is small and cozy, with a cool seaside vibe, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service was excellent, and they have a great selection of champagnes. A real gem in Reims!

Beware- there is a new chef and none of the photos and reviews from TA and Google apply anymore. I got food I wouldn't serve to an animal let alone people. Oily , garbage cut of the fish and I still feel sick. Absolutely nothing I showed photos of was available because "new chef". The only vegetable was eggplant (basically a starch ) and linguine (what?) Avoid until there's a new chef again.

Amazing oysters (and very high quality for the price), wonderful champagne by the glass, and service. The space was adorable.

Do yourself a huge favor and book your table! Intimate one of a kind venue in Reims I swear, the best seafood of my life... Caviar of the day Assortment of all seafood Order EVERYTHING!

Is there no seasoned seafood here? I like seafood, but generally like them cooked with some seasoning. We ordered a platter of various seafood -- oysters, crawfish, lobster, shrimp, snails, etc. -- and all were either raw or steamed without any seasoning. I can appreciate the natural flavor of the seafood, but the platter also seemed kind of boring (1 star off). Also, after several hours of having lunch here, I ended up developing stomach spams and ended up throwing up everything; I even had diarrhea. This may be too much information, but I feel like I have to warn the Yelp community of the unpleasantries too. :-/

This spot came highly recommended from a friend and the seafood and service were equally on point! We had a reservation that we needed to move around a couple times and they accommodated easily. They also did a great job helping us navigate their extensive seafood menu for non English speakers. The selection of oysters was impressive. Everyone was super happy with their entrees ranging from fish tartares to fish and chips and even grilled offerings. The desserts were standout hits too. The pistachio cheesecake was to die for! Omg! Can't say enough great things about this place. Definitely make a reservation!

This is a very popular spot with locals and tourists alike. We wanted to get some oysters and champagne, did not look into a reservation and of course they were booked when we came. However, the seating on their patio in front is first come first serve and I think the menu is limited compared to the restaurant inside. It was chilly, but they also have blankets and heaters which helped. We got a bottle of champagne and a dozen oysters. The oysters were good, but not the best I've had while in France. I did enjoy watching them shuck the oysters inside from my seat outside. It was like a front row seat of a cooking show, which was cool.

Best grilled prawns I've eaten in a long, long time, of not ever. Great wine list, highly recommend the Macon-Solutre for the a combination raw starter and cooked main option. Partner had Cod with zucchini spaghetti side dish, delicious!

We were able to get a table without a reservation inside. The staff was helpful and patient with our French. All of the food was delicious and so fresh! Some of the best oysters I have ever had! The seaweed butter is amazing. Also, the smoked salmon was so good!!
