Charming Paris II

Following the entry below where me, Loon and Shian went to have very good seafood at Wepler (Paris), this time on my last night in Paris which was yesterday, me and Loon decided to be crazy and go there to order the seafood platter for two (Plateau Wepler for Two) which cost 99 Euros. This was because I was going to leave for Newcastle and two of us would never grow sick of seafood =) Always an excuse to indulge and grow fat, isnt it? =)




Before our food came, we noticed this adorable little French baby with his mum and grandmum and he was crawling all over the seat beside me. Looks so cute you'd wanna bring him home. And his family was really kind enough to let me hold him and play with him. Undaunted by strangers, the innocent big round eyes are definitely the assets to melt any lady's heart. His mum and grandma even let me take pictures and videos with him and were really nice and friendly.


They even teased and joked that I could be the new mum and perhaps, Loon could be the dad. Me and loon couldnt help laughing.


Really nice and warm people. His little fingers were nice to touch and he was so huggable :) Made me melt.


We were quite distracted by the sweet baby but we didnt forget our dinner. =D
We decided to order 6 escargots each. Each. This was only the beginning.


The escargots were too good to resist. =) Need I say more?

Here's me looking really happy =) Shell food is my best friend. Always :)

Loon holding escargots :)

And of course, not to forget the main attraction - presenting the 99 Euros seafood platter for 2 =)








Needless to say, this was a total blessing for both of us. Hordes of seafood - crabs, lobsters, oystrers, clams, mussels, prawns, mini sweet shrimps, snails - all within reach on a platter served to us. We were the envy of many in the restaurant ;)




The oysters were really fresh - living true to the name of the restaurant as it was the Oysters Restaurant (loosely translated from French)

Juicy oysters

Wholesome clams




Salivating crabs and lobsters

Now you see them - tempting to the tastebuds

Now you dont!

Absoolutely Guilty as charged of devouring all the seafood!

And of course, a warm picture taken after the dinner :) My last night in Paris ended with a good sumptuous dinner *burp*

I give Wepler six stars out of six for the excellent ambience, variety of seafood and service.
Any VIP card for me? =)

Charming Paris.


I just came back from an unplanned trip to Paris for five days and I am still very much amazed by how pretty it is. =)
I went there to find Loon and stayed with him and Shian at their place at Rue Chaptal, which is near Moulin Rouge. This trip is something that I must blog about. =)


On Wednesday night, I reached Paris (Charles de Gauille airport) at around 7 pm and we went for dinner at Wepler, which is at Place de Clichy and of walking distance from their place. This was going to be my favourite restaurant of all time and has become so. I will tell you why.




We stepped into the restaurant and having never tried escargots before, we ordered 6 for us.


This is how a platter of six of them looks like. They taste just wonderful, melting into our mouths with a tinge of garlic aftertaste. *rubs tummy in glee*


After tasting them, I felt that they were the most wondrous creations in the world :)
I can't help it that I adore shell food to the core. (no pun intended) =)

And dinner kicked off with us exploring these beautiful snails one by one, leaving them to melt on our tastebuds. =)

Next, we had the seafood platter (plateau ecailler) for 28 Euros. There were all kinds of tantalising and mouth-watering seafood such as oysters, clams, mussels, prawns. And being avid seafood lovers, that dish was only a natural choice. Imagine our joy at being served with the seafood platter.

This is the seafood platter for the three of us. We chose this cos it was the cheapest and we wanted to order other main course too.

Enough to make any sea food lover go crazy :)

This is what me and Shian had for our main course - a very nice medium rare steak. Never a fan of steaks, I found the restaurant's steak a quite nice choice. Juicy and succulent. =)

This was what Loon had for his main course. Looks like chicken kebab and pasta but being someone who enjoys flavoured food, this was a little too bland for him.

Nonetheless, we had a very happy dinner that very first night I was in Paris.

A very satisfied us. Though I was probably feeling that I could very well finish another seafood platter :)
