Clamato, Seafood restaurant in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
Clamato is a seafood restaurant in the 11th arrondissement where daily deliveries arrive from French fishing ports like Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Concarneau. The place offers a carefully curated selection of oysters, crabs, whelks, and other specialties in a straightforward setting.
The restaurant developed as a sister venue to Septime, drawing ideas from North American oyster bars and traditions from Québec. This connection shaped the open, social style that defines the place today.
The space reflects traditions from French coastal towns where seafood shapes daily life and community gatherings. Diners experience how the kitchen keeps the connection to Breton and Basque fishing regions alive through its approach to ingredients and preparation.
The restaurant does not accept reservations, so expect waiting times, especially on weekends. A visit works best if you can be flexible about arrival time and are comfortable sitting at shared tables.
A €65 seafood platter featuring selected Maldon oysters, rock crab, whelks, and sea urchins lets guests taste several varieties at once. This selection shifts regularly based on what arrives from the suppliers.
