This place is absolutely exceptional. Best meal in Paris and possibly of my year. All of the dishes were a complete knockout, and lovely service to boot. Avoid the raw bar as the prepared dishes are where they really shine. Do everything you can to get a table here.

Of all the restaurants we tried during our week in Paris, this was our #1 favorite!!! If you're a seafood fan, HIGHLY recommend Clamato. Not only is everything super fresh but the flavors are incredible unique and well curated. We got nearly everything on the menu and two desserts (the grape sorbet and a chocolate mousse, which were both unbelievable as well). Thank you to the amazing staff as well! Loved our experience here - elevated food and service with a slightly "casual" atmosphere that had a touch of sophisticated warmth that made it just perfect.

The biggest surprise in our last trip to Paris! We were in the area trying to get into another restaurant that "unfortunately" was closed for a private event so we decided to give CLAMATO a shoot. Clamato was on my yelp bucket list, walking distance from where we were and also walk-ins only, so why not. When we got there the host told us the wait was around 30-45min but suggested that we could go to the sister bar Septime Le Cava for some pre-dinner drinks while we waited, we agreed! BTW, we loved the bar. After half hour they texted back and promptly we got seated at the bar. We've always been huge fans of bar seating because we love to see the prep of the dishes happening right in front of us. I feel is a great way to start waking up your appetite towards what you are visually seeing. All dishes are meant for sharing. First we got the mussels that were tasty and spicy. Then the tiradito (raw fish) was very pleasant to the palate after the spicy dish. While we were eating we saw the making of a very interesting dish that looked like a devil egg with caviar, so we give it a try. It was delicious! Super creamy. We ask the waiter to suggest one of his fav dishes from the menu and he did not hesitate by saying THE CABBAGE. I was like, CABBAGE!? Well, lets do it. Best cabbage I ever eaten in my life. If I'm not mistaken, the sauce had uní and the cabbage was perfectly roasted. We paired all dishes with an amazing white wine that also they suggested. Now this place is in my yelp Bookmark list "Best Rest in PARIS"

Maybe the best meal we had on a trip packed with incredible meals. Maybe also one of our very best meals of 2023. The mussels were spicy and perfect. The cuttlefish (cut into almost a linguine shape) was incredible. I could eat the tiradito every meal the rest of my life and be happy. We loved the cabbage too, and the oysters were great, even if I'm mostly bored with raw oysters. But the biggest standout of all was the cod roe tarama, which was maybe my very favorite dish all year -- an incredible hummus-like consistency with unbelievable flavor, topped with some top of the line olive oil, and served with amazing bread. The maple syrup tart for dessert was also amazing, and I really liked the clementine sorbet (my wife was less on it). We got there a half hour early on a Friday night and were first in line -- by the time they opened, the line was down the street. Also want to add that they were incredibly sweet to our two little kids (2 and 4), which we appreciated so much.

Clamato is a walk-in only seafood haven. It's located in a quiet and quaint street nearby its sister restaurants. After putting out names down, the host graciously walked us to Septime Le Cava for pre-dinner drinks. They then stopped by to grab our party of 3 and were promptly seated at the bar in less than 30minutes. This was great because we got to watch lots of the crudo/ceviche style dishes be made directly in front of us. A great tapas style menu meant for sharing, we were able to try a couple items on the daily rotational menu. The Stone bass ceviche with a mandarin satsuma sauce was amazing and had a great spicy citrusy kick to it thanks to the burnt zest oil. The whole red mullet "Al pastor" was also a happy surprise for me because I did not expect to have an amazing Al pastor in Paris and on my first evening! Other items we tried were the winter radish and shrimp salad, hand dived scallops in a cognac sauce with grapes and crispy bread. This one was also amazing! The sweetness from the grapes combined with the salty and crispy bread was a treat for the sensations. Also, worth nothing that the spicy peanut butter served with the roasted squash was another complex and flavorful combination to the palette. Unfortunately, the cocktail selection here isn't the best so best be prepared for wine or a light spritz! The service was all very kind and generous though so I can't wait to visit during my next trip to Paris.

This was my favorite meal in Paris on my most recent trip. My boyfriend and I got in line at 6:40 PM on a weekday (they open at 7) and were able to be part of the first seating. We tried: + Oysters + Ceviche + Albacore tuna + Heirloom tomato salad + Fried eggplant + Green beans + Haddock carpaccio + Maple syrup tart + Melon sorbet My favorite dishes were the tomato salad and the maple tart, followed by the ceviche, melon sorbet and tuna - the tuna had line or something in it and tasted like Christmas. Fried eggplant was also a standout. Only miss was the carpaccio - the flavors just didn't fit. I liked Clamato more than their sister restaurant, Septime! Small place, so plan accordingly.

Ambiance, quality, freshness. Taste is beyond review. A friend suggested this place Dillon who grew up here. Oh my Gosh. Amazing. Must come here tell them Jason and Dillon sent you here. Do not miss. So fresh always changing menu.

Had the most wonderful meal here and by all weirdest coincidences, i met my yelp elite ambassador from San Francisco here. So weird huh! The world is a village sometimes.

An outstanding small and better alternative sister restaurant to Septime. The seafood was so fresh and everything tasted wonderful! It is a very small restaurant so go when it first opens for lunch or dinner. Otherwise, you run the risk of being turned away as there are no reservations. We started off with a tasty assortment of fresh local Parisian oysters, and then moved to the cockles that were smothered in rich tasty melted butter. The cockles may be small but very plump and juicy! The deviled eggs with caviar were scrumptious. My favorite dish was the cuttlefish with fennel and pomegranate. It had the look of a pasta dish but it definitely tasted like great quality cuttlefish. I am so glad I was able to try this place for lunch as I was turned away the previous night for dinner because it was too packed.

Clamato was such a good experience while I was in Paris. It came as a recommendation from my tour guide on a food tour. It was definitely worth it! At first impression, the place is rather small but cozy. My party and I sat at the bar! We came off lunch hour and it was still a little busy, but we got a spot without waiting too long. My favorite was definitely the mussels. I'm usually unimpressed with mussels I've had in the states, but the mussels at Clamato was fresh and the broth was flavorful and rich. The broth truly brought out the flavor of the mussels in my opinion! We also got the the octopus and the oysters - the octopus came with a bed of corn, red pepper, and onion. I was again pleasantly surprised with the combination, but am so glad to have tried it because it works perfectly. It's refreshing with the tender octopus! The oysters were fresh and really hit the spot for me as well. Clamato is on my list to come back when I return to Paris! I would love to try their dinner menu sometime!
