This is the place for a seafood boil! We ordered the boil for 3-4 people with the Folie sauce, and it did not disappoint! The seasoning was perfect, and it was plenty for my family of 4 to get full. We are not small people by any means. Everyone was very nice and the food was great. I would definitely recommend.

Best seafood boiled that I ever had ! I can’t disagree with people who said about receiving wrong items from their order because we ordered crab and it came with big prawns instead. But they immediately fixed it. My friend and I were very happy with the taste of the sauce and the service. The price is a little bit high but I really find it is really worth the money. I will definitely come back when I’m back in town again .

We did the big version plate, of 200 euros and some sides dishes, it was one of the most filling meals of my life. Very very messy but a fun experience.

Amazing seafood restaurant in Paris. Portions are big, atmosphere is next level, and this level of service is rare in this city. Highly recommended if you like seafood. Take the combo for the best variety. Perfect lobster, fresh moules, and large shrimps. Definitely coming back

I recently took my kids to this amazing seafood boil restaurant in Paris, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food was simply the star of the show. We ordered a variety of seafood boils, and everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. My kids were thrilled to dig in and enjoyed every bite. It was fun for them to get a little messy and share different dishes. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, without being overwhelming. It really added to the overall enjoyable experience. If you’re ever in Paris and are in the mood for some delicious seafood, be sure to check this place out. It's definitely a gem!

Seafood Feast at Folie Crabe Had an amazing time today enjoying some delicious Cajun seafood! The flavors were spot on — spicy, buttery, and packed with seasoning. The lobster, shrimp, corn, and potatoes were all perfectly cooked. The vibe of the restaurant with its colorful lights and chill atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to again!
