L'ambiance Des Halles - Sens

We heard of this concept where you can buy your fresh seafood to take home on one side or have it prepared on the spot to eat in. The restaurant side is small and reservations are recommended. Lunchtime is busy and service is erratic. The staff does not pay attention to details because they are busy. Sad to loose the touch. Champagne was served in regular wine glasses. Main course was brought without retiring the appetizer plates. Things like that. Prices are high, but everything is in France and the food was deliciously prepared. Recommended and would go again.

I visited a friend who lives not far from the city of Sens that is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne Franche Comté in north central France, 120 km from Paris. I found important to visit the Sens Catholic Cathedral. The cathedral dedicated to Saint Stephen. Sens was the first Cathedral to be built in the Gothic architectural style. The choir was begun between 1135 and 1140. It is a national monument of France. The structure was finally completed in the 16th century. After visiting the Cathedral, we had lunch right next to the market. L 'Ambiance des Halles in rue du plat d 'etain is a nice spot. Has a large fresh fish and seafood counter. You select your fish or trays of seafood: Le Decouverte , Le Breton , Le Gourmet or Le Ouessant . They cook it in front of you, steamed or grilled. Very simple concept. We have been waiting for 35 min for the drinks and food. The food and the side dish were reasonable. The service was lousy. The local Burgundy wines were perfect.

Excellent selection of fresh fish and seafood. Should you decide to buy the fish to cook at home, you receive outstanding service in terms of advice and preparation of the fish. Should you prefer to eat there, it is a nice spot right next to the market, comfortable, good food, no fuss.

Concept original, accueil chaleureux et poisson delicieux !
